Index Play EV Bonus

[shark]

Does any one know the approximate EV bonus you get from using the I18, and also a more comprehensive set of index plays (100+). I was under the assumption that the full set of indices as outlined in Wongs PBJ gives you about 10% bonus and the i18 about 80% of that, or 8% bonus alone.

This is going to be an unsatisfying answer, but it really depends. It depends on your EV and your bet spread. If you're playing with an EV of +0.01 to +0.02, then you're probably going to add +0.001 to +0.005 on top of that, so anywhere between 5% and 50% of your win rate.

Depends on a lot of things. If you have a stronger PE count, your index plays will be stronger. Deeper pen will make them stronger.

For a professional who is playing shoe games, you should probably learn more than IL18. Maybe 40 plays. A part-timer on shoes doesn't really need to worry about it. IL18 is fine.

A pro on good pitch should consider more index plays, however.
