How Odds Work

American odds show profit on a $100 stake. Negative odds (-110) mean bet $110 to win $100. Positive odds (+150) mean bet $100 to win $150. The implied probability tells you what the market thinks will happen.

Implied Prob-110 = 52.4%

Bankroll Management

Never risk more than 1-5% of your bankroll on a single play. Flat betting at consistent unit sizes protects you through inevitable variance. The best bettors survive losing streaks.

Rule of Thumb$1K = $10-50/bet

Market Types

Moneyline picks the winner outright. Spread bets on margin of victory — a team must win by more than the number. Totals bet on combined score going over or under a set line.

ExampleLAL -5.5 = win by 6+

Finding Value

Edge = your probability minus the market’s implied probability. When the model gives a team 60% but odds imply 52%, that’s an 8% edge. Value betting means getting paid more than the true odds suggest.

Formula60% - 52% = +8% edge
