The picks behind the math

EV is what a bet earns on average if you could place it many times: (chance it wins × profit) − (chance it loses × stake). Positive EV means the price pays more than the risk is worth.
Where the win chance comes from
The hard part is an honest win chance. A sharp book's no-vig price is a strong estimate; your own opinion usually isn't. LineScout grades every pick it posts so you can see whether its chances hold up.
