Estimate your win and loss chances for each. Try and calculate the percents of walking away up vs down on a single hand/spin. Multiply those by payouts for the EV calc components.

Start with fair games. No house edge so EV close to zero. Perfect for building understanding before factoring in the house's cut. Games like craps or roulette.

Factor how the house wins. EV lower means a bigger edge for the house. Size of the vig determining how much of a edge. Consider the percentage in calculations and comparisons.

Calculate at different bet sizes. Don't just do EV for one standard bet amount. Try $5, $25, $100 or more. Shows how EV changes but percentage house edge stays largely the same.

Check your math. Look up EV for different games versus what you get. Corrections make you better for next time. Consistency builds execution.

Time yourself. Try timing how fast you EV different games. Bracketing tries beating your record. Importance of estimation speed and confidence grows into analytical roles. Practice provides.
