The expected value, positive or negative, is a mathematical calculation using these three variables. The amount of which determines the size of a single bet (bet); shares and the amount wagered determine the payout if successful; The predictability determines the frequency of success. Finally, the frequency of success times the payout minus the amount wagered equals the "expected value" The skill lies in understanding and manipulating the three variables, so that the "true" value is positive on a series of bets.
