    Question
    I see a team that is +150 and I think its real odds should be +122 what edge does that give me?

    not enough info. u need both lines and ur estimate.

    1st find no vig %.

    if x is fav line and y is dog line and Z is ur estimate.

    do (X*-1)/X+100 this gives u the vig X%

    100/Y+100 gives u dog vig Y%

    then divide each % by sum of both %s to find no vig line.

    so X%/X%+Y% = X% no vig line

    and Y%/Y%+X% = Y% no vig line.

    do not do this for ur line because there is no vig added to ur line.

    subtract ur line from the no vig line. there is ur edge.

    good luck

          For you first example

          100/222 = 0.4504 (probability of your bet hitting based on your own calculated odds)
          divided by
          100/250 = 0.4000 (implied probability of the line you took)

          minus 1

          i.e. (0.4504 divided by 0.4000) = 1.1261
          minus 1 = an +EV of 12.61%
