What are Valuebets?
A value bet is a bet where the outcome probability, according to the analytical model assessment, is higher than the bookmaker's odds imply. This means the bookmaker has overestimated (inflated) the odds for this outcome.
Example:
- According to the model's assessment, the team's win probability is 60% (fair odds ~1.67)
- The bookmaker offers 2.0 odds for the same win
- The difference between fair and actual odds is the "value"
With systematic use of such bets, the expected value is positive.
