The Value Philosophy
True value betting isn't about finding underdogs - it's about identifying when the market has mispriced any fighter, favorite or underdog.
Core Value Principles
Mathematical Edge
Every bet must have positive expected value (+EV) based on model confidence vs market odds. No exceptions, no hunches.
Conservative Thresholds
Minimum 4% edge required before placing any bet. This filters out marginal opportunities and focuses on clear value.
Volume Discipline
Quality over quantity - averaging 3-4 bets per event ensures only the strongest opportunities make the cut.
Market Inefficiencies
Focus on fights where public bias, name value, or recency bias create pricing errors the model can exploit.
Risk Management
Conservative Kelly sizing (ΒΌ Kelly) ensures survival through variance while capturing long-term edge.
Steady Growth
Target consistent 3-5% monthly returns rather than home runs. Compound growth creates wealth.
