What does a -7.3% edge mean?

A negative edge of -7.3% means the price (+2800) is worse than fair value (+3027). 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 3.4% 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 3.2%, which converts to fair odds of +3027.

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

Custom bet builder — books don't post a comparable line, and the legs almost certainly carry correlation juice you can't see. Skip unless this is a fun ticket.

AI breakdown

Verdict: This boost offers negative expected value and is unfavored compared to its true odds.

Value: The boosted odds of +2800 are significantly lower than the an estimated fair price, indicating a -7.26% ROI.
Market context: The boost presents worse value than the calculated fair price, despite the 11.5% increase from the original odds.
Status: the matchup is no notable injury signal for any listed player.
Social: the matchup Reddit data exists to gauge public sentiment.
Risk: 3-leg parlay variance. With 3 independent conditions required, hit rate compounds quickly and one miss voids the ticket. No verifiable correlation signal from the inputs provided.

Smart insight: The outcome of the Money Line leg for Switzerland will most heavily influence this bet's overall EV due to the difficulty of hitting multiple specific player shot-on-target props. Similar profile: This is a 3-leg parlay combining a money line with two player prop overs, a profile that often struggles against fair value due to correlation and variance. Counter-case: The negative EV directly suggests fading this boost, as the implied probability is higher than the true probability. Live context: the matchup lineups near tip-off.

Recommendation: Pass

How this bet was graded

Grade F · 45/100 · Better Off Passing

Switzerland v Canada at +2800 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 (+11.5%), 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. F (45/100) 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 F-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.
