Value Bets: Myth or Reality?

[BigAdahunse]

Many experienced bettors talk about finding value rather than just picking winners. How do you identify a value bet?

They're definitely real, but finding them consistently is the hard part. It takes a ton of patience and research to actually make it work long-term.

Value for me is when the odds are higher than what I think the real probability is. I calculate my own percentage and compare it with the bookie’s odds

I use closing line value. If my bet is getting shorter odds as kickoff gets closer, usually means I found good value early

I look for situations where the public is overreacting. Big favorite after a heavy win? I check if the odds are inflated and go the other way.

Reality—if you can consistently find odds higher than the true probability. 🎯
