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

No. The market still implies about a 47.2% 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 47.4%, which converts to fair odds of +111.

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 A-grade bet can lose. Size within your bankroll, account for correlation, and don't chase results.

Q: What does a +0.5% edge mean?

A positive edge of +0.5% means the price (+112) pays more than the fair price (+111). Over many identical bets, that gap is your expected return per dollar staked.
