Getting better at betting

Step 1 — Learn to think in probabilities

Decimal odds of 2.00 imply a 50% chance. If you cannot translate any odds to an implied probability in your head, you cannot evaluate a bet.

You do not need a PhD model. A simple Elo or xG-based projection for a single league will already beat most public markets in soft pockets.

Half-Kelly captures most of the long-run growth with a fraction of the variance. It is the standard professional approach.

Tag every bet by market, bookmaker, edge and result. Review weekly. Cut what does not work.
