Unfortunately nobody replied my question, so I decided to open a new thread.
I'd like to calculate my edge based on my past wagers. The problem is I have placed them at various odds from like -150 to +1000. It seems to me that the simplest way is to normalize the
odds by multiplying them by a coefficient indirectly dependent on the odds. And the calculation would be k= 1/(decimal_odds-1), so e.g. for 2.00 k=1, for 3.00 k=0.5, for 1.60 k=1.66
If I'd be taking vig into consideration, then there should be some adjustment like k=0.95/(decimal_odds-1).
In the case of quarter handicaps I'd further multiply the odds by 0.5 when the spread/ total hits the closest whole number and when whole number hcps will be hit, then I'll ignore them.
So if in the end I'll get numbers like +540 (won), -460 (lost), my edge would be 8%, right?
(540-460)/(540+460)=0.08
Of course the above assumes all bets have equal to risk amount.
