  • 👋🏻 Hey guys! In today's video, I explain what is Plus EV / Positive EV sports betting (sportsbetting) and in the end got banned. I utilise plus EV / positive EV since after trialling many methods, I found it was vastly superior to arbitrage betting and allowed me to make a lot more money. I explain all about +EV betting in this video with some examples and also arbitrage betting examples as well. Hope you guys can find it insightful but please do more research first on positive EV betting and make sure you understand the maths before betting any of your actual money.
    🏆 🏆 For those who do want to learn in depth the arbitrage and positive EV strategies I use with real practical examples to help you get started, then you can check out my 5 - part sports betting course over on my website at:

    USA/Canada: arbitragecamp.com/usa-course/...
    🏆 🏆 For those looking to learn more about risk free arbitrage betting/ positive EV betting in the United States, I would recommend using a odds comparison tool that I mentioned in the video- OddsJam: To get 25% off your first month for OddsJam:

    "Speculation" will always yield more than "arbitrage" but the key difference is you cannot fully compound via positive EV or any sort of betting/trading with probabilities as there's always risk, no matter how small... hence you cannot go all in and efficiently compound all your capital. Unlike risk free arbitrage

      FACTSSSSS it is unfair to use the same bet amount in an EV bet vs a risk free ARB. You can put up as much as you like in an ARB bet b/c there is no risk in an EV if you put up your bankroll you will be eaten alive by variance. It is very obvious a $3 Arb bet is lower than $3 EV bet. But if $3 is your whole bankroll to make it apples to apple you should be betting 1% of $3 or 3 cents... then see who has the higher EV.

      That's where bankroll management comes into play. Card counters use this in blackjack as they are +EV style players, playing with usually at best 2-3% edge.
      I understand your point saying that it makes no sense for an arbitrage bettor to only risk $3 in the same way as an EV bettor but it was for comparing numbers. The idea is just that +EV lets you play for more theoretical profit for a smaller bet amount

    • @TigersLullaby125
      @TigersLullaby125 Před 2 měsíci +4

      The whole point of it was to say that this is for the long run, assuming you place many bets over time the profits will be far greater. He's not saying throw your entire savings into 1 bet like you might do with ARB, but rather saying if you consistently use this method you're mathematically almost completely guaranteed to make much larger profits.
      Like in the quarter example. each time you win a $3 bet on heads you have $9 meaning you can make 3 more bets again with that and assuming the odds are 50/50 since you have 3 flips now you can safely assume at least one of those will be another heads since the probability of a coin landing the same 3 times in a row is only 12.25%. If one of those 3 flips is another head you made profit and mathematically the profit margin outweighs the potential losing so if you flipped the coin 1,000 times the profits of the wins outweighs the losses of all the times it hit tails. So ev betting isn't meant to dump your whole account into at once, but assumes that if you have enough money to take a few hits and do more bets over time the profits make up for the losses by a higher degree than the amount of profit ARB's with the same odds would make.
      If you only have a small ammount to start with then of course go for ARB where you can safely cash in small wins. But once you have enough saved up money that you can place many bets often and taking some of them as losses then the winnings in those overall outweigh the times you lost over time😊
      Hope that kinda clears it up. He addressed all that in the vid he flat out says Arbs are the safe option but mathematically +ev turns a greater profit over time. Especially when you have enough money that you have limits on the ammount you can bet and you want to go higher that's when arbs fall off they plateu at that point and can't really make much more but that's the point where +ev takes off and keeps pulling in the greater profit over time

    I’ve been down this path and there’s a couple of extra points you should’ve raised? 1. Opening accounts with overseas bookies is risky, as a lot are tax haven based. Firstly you lose on currency exchange rates just getting your money in. 2. Try getting your money out, time delays are part and parcel. 3. You can’t complain to the ACCC if they rip you off. 4. Getting your bet on in time takes time. You have to log in find the match, which can take a few minutes, only to find that the odds have changed. 5. Overseas matches are in another time zone and you find yourself being up all sorts of hours. Sounds good in theory, but in the end I gave it away, as too much hassle and added risk IMHO

      I don't have a specific group chat or anything for it. Once a spot comes up I play it big and then if the line hasn't moved I tell friends about the spot afterwards and they will play it. I'm probably not looking to give away the exact formula because if there are many more people doing what I'm doing and betting big the books will adjust and the spots will disappear. I have no problem adding more people to the group I notify after I place my bets. You'll need to have accounts at just about all major books, but there are 3 that I find make the most mistakes.

      Bookmakers want arbitrage because localised fans are very polarising when it comes to betting. A region of 5million population can be die hard liverpool fans. If you imagine all of them buying liverpool 1X2, the bookmaker will have a very heavy potential loss if liverpool really wins. To prevent heavy losses, they will skew the odds by severely lowering liverpool and increasing the odds for the opponent to attract arbitragers. It is a deliberate act by the bookmakers.

      This is a great approach & injury lists are an important factor in all decisions in sport & horse racing
      Tennis tournaments are brilliant for injury based betting especially when you have ageing champions carrying injuries into a tournament
      Another great feature of tennis is zero chance of a draw
      The biggest bets on horse races are mostly placed after the parade & in the final 30 seconds before all horses are loaded into barriers, some professional punters prefer harness racing because there are no barriers though the parade is very different or arguably absent so it's possible to miss indicators showing stress or sub-optimal conditioning or winter coat or excess weight which show up in parades -;some horses freak out around & in the barriers & this can upset or cause injuries to themselves or other horses

      I'm not sure if my way is correct, but I usually try finding the true odds of the bet. This can be done by looking at the odds on an exchange like Betfair. For your example, if Barcelona had back odds of 1.4 and lay odds of 1.5, then the true odds would be 1.45. You can then use this to calculate the implied probability (1/decimal odds)×100. 1/1.45×100= 68.97% probability that Barcelona will win. You can then use this to calculate the EV of the event.
      Hope this helps!

      It's simple, if you let a coin decide on which team to place a bet, you get 50% chance. If you keep betting like this, after let's say 1000 bets, you'll be around 500/500 or 450/550 or 550/450, or any number close to half/half. The bigger the number, the smaller the variance, the closer you're getting to 50/50 odds.

    so in toss coin there's 50 / 50, right ? but i think in sports the team with lower odds means the team is stronger than higher odd team. so we can't say it's 50 / 50.

      @@purew.a.s.p6369 ok so if a team is going to win but i think its going to lose i need to bet on it? Seems like a pretty useless strategy lmao.

      That's why you use a coin to decide where to place a bet. But if you want better odds then a coin, do a team research before placing a bet.
