How to Use This Calculator

Expected Value (EV) tells you the average profit or loss per bet if you made this bet many times. Positive EV means you have an edge over the market.

Kelly Criterion suggests what percentage of your bankroll to bet based on your edge. Most traders use half or quarter Kelly for safety.

Your Edge is the difference between your probability estimate and the market's implied probability. A positive edge means you think the market is mispriced.
