Every play above comes from the OddsShopper +EV board: the fair odds column is the de-vigged true price (the market's honest read with the book's margin stripped out), and the edge is how much the best takeable price beats that fair number. A +4% edge means the book is paying you 4% more than the fair price says the outcome is worth.
