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

No. The market still implies about a 4.3% 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 6.1%, which converts to fair odds of +1536.

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

Q: What does a +43.6% edge mean?

A positive edge of +43.6% means the price (+2250) pays more than the fair price (+1536). Over many identical bets, that gap is your expected return per dollar staked.

Frequently asked questions

What does a +43.6% edge mean?

Across many identical wagers, you'd expect to gain about 43.6 cents on every dollar staked — that's the gap between +2250 and the consensus fair price (+1536). Single-bet variance still dominates the short run.

Does a positive edge mean this is likely to win?

No. The price still implies roughly a 4.3% 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.

Should I bet every A-grade ticket?

Grading is a price-quality signal, not a prediction. Even an C-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.
