Argentina v Austria: Lionel Messi To Score at Any Time at +175 on Bet365: we devig the available market on the same market to estimate a true win probability of 50.0% — fair odds -100. The gap between +175 and -100 is the +37.50% edge: your long-run expected return per dollar if the market is right about true probability.
Across many identical wagers, you'd expect to gain about 37.5 cents on every dollar staked — that's the gap between +175 and the consensus fair price (-100). Single-bet variance still dominates the short run.
No. The price still implies roughly a 36.4% chance the ticket cashes. +EV means the payout exceeds the true probability — most positive-EV longshots still lose individually. The edge only shows up across many similar bets.
Grading is a price-quality signal, not a prediction. Even an A+-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.
