Value betting on Football

Thu Jan 02, 2020 9:27 pm

Hello guys,

When i see 2.30 on soft, and 2.10 sharp, is 2.30 value? or its different type of value between markets? for example, market cards and corners, if i see this type of differences, we have the same value?

I'd say, generally, yes.

Empirically, if you e.g. always assume pinnacle's closing lines are correct (fudging the overround) and use them to bet against b365's closing lines, you can end up with a 2-3% positive ROI with proper staking, and this number could probably be much higher if you didn't have to fudge the overround and could know how it was allocated.

I'm not super familiar with football, but I can't think of a good reason it wouldn't still be a predictor of value. It's worth keeping in mind that even sharp books are less accurate with their props lines, though, so it might not be as strong an indicator of +EV as it would be for outrights or spreads.
