Calculating Expected Value Using AI Insights

Learn how to use AI Matchup Researcher data to calculate expected value (EV) for more informed betting.

The Formula for Value

Expected Value (EV) is calculated as: (Win Probability × Profit) - (Loss Probability × Stake). To get an accurate EV, you need a precise win probability, which is where the AI Matchup Researcher comes in.

Gathering the Data

By using the Analyzer mode, you can get a tactical narrative on how focus points—like a key player injury—might shift the true probability of a game. If the AI's tactical breakdown suggests a team has a 60% chance to win, but the sportsbook odds imply only 50%, you have identified a +EV (Positive Expected Value) opportunity.
