EV finder

An estimate only — most bets lose. EV is maths, not a prediction. A bet with a positive EV figure can still — and usually does — lose.

What it is: a list of bets at one bookie, sorted by EV (expected value). EV is a maths estimate of how a bet might go on average over a very long run, worked out by comparing the bookie’s price with Betfair’s.

Why it helps: it saves you comparing hundreds of prices by hand to see where a bookie’s price stands out against the exchange.

The EV finder for one bookie.

Use it

1. Click the EV finder tab.
2. Pick a bookie with the picker at the top.
3. Use Min EV and Min lay size to hide the smaller ones.
4. Stake changes the dollar figures (for example, $50).

What it doesn’t mean

• It doesn’t mean a runner will win.
• It doesn’t mean you’ll come out ahead — on one bet or many.
• Prices move fast. The figure can be gone by the time you reach the bookie.
