Devigging (or de-juicing) removes the sportsbook's built-in margin from the odds. This reveals the bookmaker's implied "fair" probability for each outcome, which you can use to identify value bets.
Multiplicative is the most common and works well for most markets. Power method is more accurate for lopsided odds. Shin method models the presence of informed bettors and is popular in academic literature. Additive is the simplest approach that distributes the overround equally.
Once you have the fair probability, compare it to the implied probability of the odds you can actually bet. If the book offers odds that imply a lower probability than the fair probability, the bet has positive expected value (+EV).
Each method makes different assumptions about how the bookmaker distributes margin. Multiplicative assumes proportional distribution, additive assumes equal distribution, power adjusts by odds magnitude, and Shin accounts for informed money. The differences are usually small for balanced markets.
