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 likelihood of winning than the sportsbooks are giving it. This means the higher the edge, the better.

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