Find profitable betting opportunities
Value betting means placing bets where the implied probability of the odds is lower than your estimated true probability. If you believe Team A has a 60% chance to win but odds imply 50%, that's a value bet. Long-term profitability comes from consistently finding and betting these edges.
Expected Value (EV) = (Probability of Win × Potential Profit) - (Probability of Loss × Stake). A positive EV bet will be profitable over many repetitions. Example: If odds are 2.20 (+120) and you believe win probability is 50%, EV = (0.50 × 1.20) - (0.50 × 1.00) = +0.10 or +10% EV.
Value often exists in: matches with recent roster changes not yet reflected in odds, teams with strong map-specific records, local/regional matches with less market attention, and underdogs against inconsistent favorites. The key is having information or analysis the market undervalues.
Different bookmakers offer different odds on the same matches. Comparing lines across multiple sites and betting at the best available odds significantly improves long-term returns. Even small odds differences compound over hundreds of bets.
Value betting requires discipline and tracking. Record every bet with your estimated probability, the odds taken, and results. Over time, if your estimated probabilities are accurate, your actual results should match expectations. This feedback loop improves your probability estimation.
