Percentage Needed To Win ?

Suppose you lay a wager of $100, if you win you would collect an equal amount ($100), but if you loss you would lose $110, a fee of 10% (Juice).
(Juice is the bookmaker's commission, also known as vig)

Example:
100 bets in equal amounts of $100 wagered per bet totals $5000. Assume you won 50% of the bets, you would have won on the winning games $5000 and on your losing games you would have lost $5500. The results would be a deficit of $500. Be that as it may the percentage needed to win is actually 52.4%.

Hypothetically, if you won 53 bets of $100 each, out of one hundred bets placed (53%). Your return on the winning bets is $5300 and the losing bets would total $5170.
Bottom line profit is $130 net.

The number you need to have a profitable season in betting Football or Basketball is fifty-three percent (53%) or better. Naturally this % changes according to the juice you lay.

Precisely why low vig offers are much stronger than any bonus in the long run.

This was posted by raiders at one point at another forum. Very good demonstration of the power of low juice:

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> The following is the percentage of games that you would have to win to break even.

1.02 - 50.496 %
1.04- 50.981 %
1.05- 51.22 %
1.07- 51.691 %
1.10- 52.381 %

If you play 1,000 games a year which is almost 3 games per day to break even you would need the following record.

1.02: 505-495 or 10 games over .500
1.04: 510-490 or 20 games over .500
1.05: 512-488 or 24 games over .500
1.07: 517-483 or 34 games over .500
1.10: 524-476 or 48 games over .500 <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
