The +EV Board finds bets where a sportsbook's price beats the fair price. Here's how to use it, step by step.
Step one: set your books. Pick only the sportsbooks where you have an account and that are legal in your state. Now the board shows bets you can actually place.
Step two: read one row. This is what you'd be betting on, and the game.
Price is the best number we found, and this is the book offering it. The small time under it shows how fresh that price is.
Estimated fair is the real price with the books' cut taken out. Estimated edge is how much better the price is than fair, after any fees. Bigger means a better deal.
Support shows how many books back that fair price. More support means more books agree.
Step three: how much to bet. Open Stake sizing and enter your bankroll, the money you set aside just for betting.
The board suggests a stake for every bet. It uses a cautious formula called quarter Kelly: bigger edges get a little more, and no single bet is ever large. One unit is 1% of your bankroll.
Step four: narrow it down. Pick a sport, or show only edges of 2% and up. All edges is everything we found. Best bets is the short list that passes our strictest checks.
Step five: place it. Tap the Bet button and it opens that sportsbook. Check the price there first. Prices move fast, and if it changed, the edge may be gone.
Remember, edges are estimates, never a sure thing, and you'll lose plenty of these bets. It's the long run that counts.
