Expected Value (EV) Calculator+EV

What it does. It shows what a bet is worth on average, in dollars and as a share of your stake.

How to use it. Enter your stake, the odds you are getting, and your honest read on the true win probability. That last number can come from a model or from the fair price at a sharp book.

Why it matters. A positive number means the bet pays you over time. A negative one means it slowly bleeds you. Run this before you place anything.
