Expected Value Calculator

Calculate the expected value (EV) of a bet. Positive EV means the odds are better than the true probability — the foundation of profitable betting over time.

Bookmaker implied probability: 47.6%

Expected Value

+9.20%

Value bet — the odds compensate more than the risk. Positive expected return per unit staked.

Formula

EV = (odds × true_probability − 1) × 100

Example: Odds 2.10 with true probability 52% → EV = (2.10 × 0.52 − 1) × 100 = +9.2%
