What Is an Edge in NBA Futures Betting?

An edge occurs when Dimers' model projects the probability of an event to be higher than the best odds available. Essentially, it means that our NBA model projects a bet has a higher chance of cashing than the sportsbooks are giving it. That's why the higher the edge, the better for us.

Although an edge does not guarantee a win, consistently taking picks with a higher betting edge can increase your chances of being a profitable bettor in the long run. This is an essential aspect of being a successful sports bettor.
