    What is the Poisson Calculator?

    Counting stats — strikeouts, threes made, shots on goal, receptions — roughly follow a Poisson distribution. Given just a projected average, Poisson tells you the probability of clearing any prop line, which converts directly into fair odds you can compare against a book's price.

    How to use it

    1. 1.Enter your projection for the stat (season average, recent form, or a model output).
    2. 2.Enter the prop line the book is offering.
    3. 3.Compare the fair odds against the book's odds — bet the side getting better than fair.

    Example

    Project a player at 2.7 threes per game against a line of 3.5: Poisson says the over hits about 28.6% of the time, so fair odds are roughly +250. A book offering +280 on the over is +EV.
