Why it matters: Implied probability shows what the bookmaker thinks the chances are. Compare this to your own estimate to find value bets.

Understanding Implied Probability

Every set of odds implies a certain probability. Bookmakers set odds to reflect their estimated chances, plus their margin (overround).
