Formula and calculation

Compare your estimated win probability with the break-even probability implied by decimal odds, then measure the probability edge and expected value.

Break-even probability = 1 ÷ decimal odds. Probability edge = your probability − break-even probability. Expected profit = stake × (probability × odds − 1).
