# Positive EV Calculator

## Overview

The +EV Calculator displays the current EV bet you've selected, showing the recommended wager amount determined by your Kelly Criterion value. Similarly to the arb calculator, this also works in tandem with the Wallet by monitoring the available funds you have on each sportsbook.<br>

### Alternate Lines Odds Comparisons

The alternate lines panel allows users to look at alternate lines for the current opportunity you have selected. In the example below, when looking at an "Over/Under 43.5" line, the alternate lines panel will allow you to select between Over/Under 42.5, Over/Under 40.5, etc.

## Using the Calculator&#x20;

When an EV bet is being displayed on the calculator, we simply follow the information it's presenting. Open the appropriate sportsbook, find the game, and place the recommended bet on the correct market. If the odds change on the bet, the wager will automatically update to ensure that you're profitable.

Additionally, you can change your devigging method directly on the calculator. Simply click one of the options and your recommended bet amount will update.&#x20;

Below the devigging methods is the odds of your sharp sportsbooks. At the far left, you'll see the current odds for both sides of the book you'll be placing the bet on. To the right of that is the average odds of all available sharp sportsbooks containing the bet. To the right of the average odds are the sharp sportsbooks, along with their current odds for both sides of the current bet.

Clicking any of the sharp books or the average odds will adjust the recommended bet amount.

Lastly, the format button swaps the odds to win probability percentage.
