NBA EV Tables

Pre-calculated break-even juice for common scenarios

How to Read These Tables

The Break-Even Juice shows the maximum juice where buying is still +EV. If the book charges less than this, buying is profitable.

BUY (At -110)
Break-even ≥ -110. Profitable at standard juice.
Always Buy
Break-even -120 or better. Worth it almost always.
Usually Buy
Break-even -130 to -120. Worth it at most books.
Sometimes Buy
Break-even worse than -130. Only if you get a discount.
The Math: Buy if juice cost < push probability value. Example: Buying -3 → -3.5 at -110 juice (10¢ cost). If push probability on 3 is 8%, and you bet $100, push saves you ~$8. Break-even is when cost = savings.
