Calculating expected value for a betting event given: Decimal Odds, Stake, Potential Profit, & Implied Probability?

43 Views Asked by At

I am trying to get the expected value of a bet on a UFC money line fight (betting which fighter will win)

decimal odds at: $1.6$

Stake: $$30$

Potential Profit ($PP$): $(1.6 * 30) - 30$

Implied Probability of Win ($Pw$): $(1/1.6)$

Implied Probability of Loss ($Pl$): $1 - (1/1.6)$

Given the formula of E(x) is: $(Pw*PP) - (Pl * Stake)$

I keep on getting zero, so I am doing deff. doing the probability of a loss incorrectly.

How would I go about doing this?
