What does a -2.7% edge mean?

A negative edge of -2.7% means the price (+1100) is worse than fair value (+1133). You can still win, but the long-run math is against you.

Does a positive edge mean the bet is likely to win?

No. The market still implies about a 8.3% chance this hits at the offered odds. A +EV bet pays more than its true probability warrants — most +EV bets at long odds still lose individually.

How are fair odds calculated?

Sportsbook prices on the same market are de-vigged and averaged to estimate a true win probability. Using the available market price, we estimate 8.1%, which converts to fair odds of +1133.

Why does this grade differ from the sportsbook's advertised lift?

Books quote lifts vs their own original line, which already includes margin. We compare the price to a vig-free consensus, so an advertised lift can still grade poorly if the underlying line was inflated.

Should I bet every bet that grades well?

Grading is a price-quality signal, not a guarantee. Even a D-grade bet can lose. Size within your bankroll, account for correlation, and don't chase results.

AI breakdown

Verdict: This parlay offers a solid price for three key players to drive in a run each!

Value: The offered price of +1100 is quite attractive compared to the original price, though it still falls slightly shy of the devigged fair odds at +1133.
Market context: the matchup getting a nice 17.1% price lift versus the original +925, which is always a good sign when eyeing a multi-leg bet.
Status: the matchup no notable injury signal for any of the players involved.
Social: the matchup isn't enough public sentiment to lean on for this specific bet.
Risk: This is a 3-leg parlay, and hitting 1+ RBI for three different players in one game can introduce multi-leg parlay variance.

Smart insight: This bet's expected value is most sensitive to the performance of whichever player you perceive as having the lowest probability of an RBI, as that leg will impact the overall probability the most. Similar profile: the matchup the matchup focusing on individual offensive statistical achievements in MLB often ride on inning-to-inning scoring opportunities. Counter-case: The biggest challenge here is simply getting three distinct RBI opportunities to line up for Alec Bohm, Bryce Harper, and J.T. Realmuto in a single game. Live context: the matchup lineups near tip-off. Stake suggestion: the matchup.

How this bet was graded

Grade D · 52/100 · Better Off Passing

Alec Bohm, Bryce Harper, and J.T. Realmuto each to get 1+ RBI at +1100 on Bet365 (3 legs): we couldn't match this slip to enough comparable market prices to compute a trustworthy consensus fair value, so no edge % is shown — anything we'd print would just echo the book's own vig. The grade leans on price lift vs the original (+17.1%), leg count, and variance. Treat it as directional.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't an edge % shown?

We couldn't match this slip to enough comparable market prices to compute a trustworthy fair value. Rather than show a number derived from the offered price itself (which would just echo the book's vig), we leave the edge unstated. The grade still reflects price lift vs the original, variance, and confidence.

Does the grade still mean something?

Yes. D (52/100) is built from the price lift, leg count, variance, and any verified context signals — it's directional. Treat it as a sanity check, not a precise EV figure.

Should I bet every A-grade ticket?

Grading is a price-quality signal, not a prediction. Even an D-grade ticket can lose. Size within your bankroll, account for correlation between legs, and use Inside Angles above to spot factors the price hasn't absorbed yet.
