Model probability is our estimate of a team or player outcome happening. Betting odds are the market price
offered by a sportsbook. Comparing the two can help identify where the model and the market differ.
Our odds-related pages help make those comparisons easier to understand.
Fair odds are the odds implied by our model probability without sportsbook margin.
Edge is the difference between our model view and the market’s implied probability.
EV, or expected value, is a way of estimating whether a bet may be favorable over the long run.
Our Odds Guide explains these ideas in simpler terms.
