We usually look for boosts with 8% or more expected value (win $8 for every $100 wagered), though you can use a different threshold depending on your risk tolerance.įortunately, you don't need to have your own models or projections to find the expected value for many of these boosts. Instead, we're looking for smaller odds boosts offered every day that have positive expected value (EV), meaning if you bet them enough times over a large sample, you'll make money.
