Assuming by no-vig line you mean the fair value on this wager.

-230.85 ~ 69.77%

-205 in decimal = 1.487804878
edge = (.6977 * 1.487804878) -1 = 3.811%
.03811*1025 = ~$39

As most posters are fully aware, I have no answers to this question! I adhere to the Saulty betting principle, line doesn't matter, just pick the winner!

Who the fuck knows. I the no-vig line accurate? If limits were 500 and it moved from -205 to -231, the "right" price might be -231, -225 or even -300. Estimating EV on a single play like this is like jerking off to a winning stock buy. You can talk about how smart you are, but you still don't know that you don't know shit.

I didn't want to be the first to say it, cause I'm well liked here and want to keep it this way but yeah, mr bait makes sense.

Amazing that he can't be trusted, he doesn't have 50 posts.
