Positive EV betting strategy is the most
profitable sports betting method around anyone can do it calculations are simple and I can prove
it because I've made fortunes using it myself I'll break the strategy down in layman's terms explain
where it's most profitable why it beats other strategies and share a real example by the end of
this video it works regardless of the sports book or where you are in the world so what exactly
is positive EV betting strategy EV is short for expected value w
hich is the term originating from
probability Theory it signifies the anticipated return on a bet or a trade quantitative analysts
in the financial sector often use it as a metric for value now in sports betting calculating the
BET's expected value is simple it's the cumulative total of every possible outcomes payoffs
multiplied by its likelihood of winning let's take a football match between West Ham and Chelsea as
an example if the Betfair Sportsbook offers odds of 2.8 for the draw you pr
ofit by one pound 80 for
every one pound steak assuming that the match ends in the drawer of course however if either team
wins you lose your one pound stake so the EV for this bet is calculated by the probability of the
draw multiplied by 1.8 added to the probability of the match ending in either team winning multiplied
by negative one so in this instance it means that the draw rods have a negative expected value of 23
Pence or 23.28 now I know some people don't like doing the maths so the
re's a free EV calculator
online here that will do it all for you just like this one so when you work out the EV for the
majority of bets on a sports book their value is negative because of course includes the house
Edge ensure the bigger the negative EV figure the more they're ripping you up however plus EV
odds are available every single day I'll show you where I went shortly but as an illustration
if the draw in our example was priced at 4.0 it would become a positive EV bet the simplest
method to determine a BET's probability in sports betting is by Consulting the betting exchanges
or short books like Pinnacle betting exchanges make their money from commissions on winnings
after the event has been settled so it's a free market where prices are controlled by supply and
demand with no margin plus the sharpest mines in sports betting play big on the exchanges their
cumulative knowledge makes pricing incredibly accurate especially when it's close to the event
start so if you
've heard of the wisdom of crowds or law of large numbers effectively this is
what I'm talking about here making money with positive EV betting is reliant on slow updates
and miscalculated odds now don't worry this isn't a matched betting or Arbitrage video but
promotional offers can create positive EV bet bookmakers regularly offer short-term positive
bonuses in an attempt to hook in long-term losers and degenerates if you're going to use
them make sure you do it effectively there's a sepa
rate video on that Linked In description down
below now to be profitable we need to focus our sports betting on positive EV bets only let's
delve into a theoretical scenario to illustrate how positive EV betting performs in contrast
to Arbitrage betting for example the results might surprise some of you so let's assume we've
got an under over 2.5 goals Market on a football match where both outcomes are equal there's a 50
chance of either outcome happening they're evenly matched this means t
hat the fair odds would be
2.0 in decimals evens in fractions or plus 100 in American odds however for argument's sake let's
say there's an odds discrepancy with the over 2.5 goals priced at 3.0 whereas the under 2.5 goals
a price of 1.8 if we're using positive EV betting strategy it's staking 20 pound then the focus
would be on the over 2.5 goals bet because this is where the plus EV selection is at 3.0 we would
need to place our 20 pound stake on overs at 3.0 and totally disregard the alt
ernate betting line
now if the BET wins we secure 40 pounds profit and if it doesn't we lose our 20 pound state
to understand the expected value of this bet we multiply the probability of Happening by the
potential payout so 50 multiplied by 40 pounds plus 50 multiplied by negative 20 pounds is equal
to 20 pounds minus 10 pounds giving us a positive EV of 10 pounds for this bet again here's an EV
calculator confirming the numbers but by way of comparison if we were to rerun the simulation
approaching it as an Arbitrage better it would look a little bit like this the arbitrage bettor
would split the stakes placing seven pounds 50 on overs at 3.0 and 12 pounds 50 on unders at 1.8
when you look at the respective payouts of either of those lines if it should win it leaves a total
profit of two pounds 50. once the initial 20 pound stake has been deducted significantly less than
when using the positive EV betting strategy now if that's confused you you might want to watch
that las
t minute or so again and look at those calculations so there's no question positive EV
betting is a lot more profitable than Arbitrage although the obvious downfall is the short-term
variance it results an unfortunate run of bad variants with results can be a little bit testing
if you haven't got the nerve for it although long term the numbers don't light and I can prove
it with my own profits as you'll see in just a second aside from the short-term variation in
results there are several ot
her beneficial factors to consider when comparing positive EV betting
and Arbitrage sure Arbitrage betting offers a risk-free Avenue where you profit every single
time regardless of the outcome but it's worth considering that twice the amount of bets need to
be placed and the second hedge bet often reduces the overall expected value you can hedge weave
a better exchange where the odds are on offer are likely to represent a neutral EV figure
although there's Commission on your exchange winni
ngs The Only Exception being if you can get
0 commission via a service like odds monkey the most favorable options depend on your own risk app
type but factually speaking positive EV betting strategy is the optimal approach when viewed
in the context of long-term frequent betting as I've said the return is just so much better
now there's a couple of ways to maximize your profits and reduce risk with positive EV strategy
I'll show you some solid examples in a second but first the shortcut to
enhancing your profits and
reducing risk the first golden rule is to only bet on positive EV best and when you do stay in line
with the Positive EV margin the bigger the value margin the bigger we should state so where can
you find plus EV bets easily there are multiple places every day typically the best opportunities
are around the speed at which odds change and the lower quality betting events where pricing is
harder for the bookmakers to quantify and keep track of an example of lower q
uality might be the
foreign low quality football leads and ancillary markets like under servers goals corners and
cards an example of speed at which odds change might be the horse racing markers or Greyhound
betting again Lower quality racing throws up the best opportunities for such price discrepancies
especially in the final minutes counting down to the post personally I prefer to focus on
the fast changing odds now there are several software tools that can help you do this although
ther
e are two main options first you have tools that identify Miss price betting odds if you're
in the United States or Australia odd sham will help you out and if you're in the UK odds monkey
is best now unfortunately wherever you are the platforms can't fully automate the process for you
the sports books just wouldn't allow it they hate people using sophisticated tools like this after
all plus EV betting has a mathematical advantage over the house and they know it however the
tools can show y
ou exactly where positive EV opportunities exist in real time here's a couple
of positive EV bets highlighted by oddsjam on the screen and a bunch of others Gods monkey now the
second option is my personal favorite you'll need to be quicker when doing it although the positive
expected values are far higher when using this method particularly on high speed better markets
like the Greyhounds now I share my personal bet in history with over 6 000 pound profit from one
account and explain the f
ull strategy here in the end screen so please go and check out that video
now thanks for watching I'll see you next time

Here's a positive EV betting strategy in action: https://youtu.be/_qofMbvaoIY
You're a good guy! Love your videos! Yes, positive EV betting is a great way to get an edge on sportsbooks. So many newbie sports bettors don't even realize just how easy it is to find positive EV betting opportunities on sportsbooks. Also, shopping for the best prices when betting on sports is a good practice too. That 10 points on odds can really add up over time.
I just wished they add in a law to not be able to ban winners
Você caiu do céu foi um achado de ouro. Feliz por ter encontrado o teu canal aqui do Brasil. Maratonado teus vídeos. São excelentes.
I've been using your betFred "goals galore bonus" scheme.... First four bets all won, banking me 1600 quid for 210 quid staked... Since then eight further bets, all of 50 quid have failed.... But five were by only one of the eight teams failing to score... I know if I keep doing the schoolwork I'll profit in the long run...
I have been working on a ev tool that finds and tracks bets. I find bets between 0.1% ev and 20% on wide outsiders. What range would you say is a good place to sit or would you bet on all just with various bet amounts based on bank roll and the ev % which is what I have been doing. Is there a rule you follow?
Any tips on how to find +EV bets? I'm just getting started and I want to put into practice all this before I pay a subscription service. I'm currently manually comparing sportsbooks odds to betting exchanges to find misprices, but it takes a lot of time to find mispricings. Please any tips would help!
The thing I don’t understand is the win probability, if you are betting on over/under 2.5 goals surely it isn’t a 50/50 it depends on who’s playing?
Hi Caan, forgive me for being a pillock - I have noticed the betfair exchange has 10% longer odds than virtually all british books on football. How greater do the odds have to be to make it make sense? Cheers.
So what if winning implied odds are less then the ev play odds jam is recommending.For instances using nba props player x has to get 12.5 pts the wager is +110 thats around, 55% you cross reference his stats on cash props his season and trends are showing that his hit percentage is 42% wouldnt that be a negative bet? Or like you said you weigh the over/under to see if its a ev play? .
Hello please does anyone know if I can use Poisson Distribution to calculate for EV betting?
Do you have a video on how not to get limited so quick? For arbing ALSO which bookies still have half decent limits after being limited? thank you
Hi I'm a football fan and I generally break even or make a small profit over the course of a season. I'm trying to improve my profit margins and a lot of what you say makes sense. I like your videos but can you explain your motivation behind sharing your strategies?
Great video…. The greyhounds didn’t work out for me after 300+ bets but Oddsjam have more than made up for it!
Hi Caan, can i ask you something please? Am i able to place a single bet on the Sportbook over/under goals 2.5 and then also place a single bet on the Exchange over/under goals 2.5 ... for the same football match? if so, and betfair allows that, then theres lots to discover here :)
So I seen odds on over 2.5 goals at 2.50 and under 2.5 goals at 1.50 So is the over 2.5 goals at 2.50 a positive EV ?
I’m new to this and trying to learn. But the thing I don’t understand is for example if the bet is under/ over goals. Example u/o 5,5 goals. Is it rly 50% chance?
If you have a 30% probability of win or less do you still bet on it if it’s EV value is over 5%
How do you know the win probability? The 27.4%.
How did u come up with the probability to be 27.4 in the draw example?
