No-vig / de-vig
The price a book posts includes its margin (the vig). De-vigging removes that margin proportionally so the probabilities sum to 100 percent, leaving the fair number underneath. Works on any market: a CFB total at 51.5, a spread at -110 both ways, a moneyline pair like -165 / +140. Your read only beats the book if it beats the fair price, not the posted one.
qᵢ = raw implied prob · Overround M = Σ qᵢ · Hold = (M − 1)/M · Fair pᵢ = qᵢ / M
