Highlights

• • Away implied probability ~98.04% vs our conservative estimate 98.0%
• • Expected value at current favorite price is marginally negative (-0.0004)

Pros

• + Heavy favorite; low variance outcome expected
• + Market price is consistent with a dominant expected favorite

Cons

• - Lack of match-specific information increases uncertainty

Details

We conservatively assume the market price on Matthew William Donald (away) is nearly fair given no independent data. The bookmaker odds imply an away win probability of 1/1.02 = 98.04%; based on the absence of form, injury, surface or H2H information we estimate a true probability of 98.0% (0.98) for the away player — a conservative figure that gives no meaningful edge. Calculating EV at the quoted away price: EV = 0.98 * 1.02 - 1 = -0.0004 (slightly negative). The home price (15.0) implies ~6.67% but would require a far higher true upset probability to become attractive; using a conservative 2% upset chance yields EV = 0.02 * 15 - 1 = -0.70. Given the near-zero edge on the favorite and the large negative EV on the underdog, we do not recommend a side at current prices.

Key factors

• • Market strongly favors the away player; implied probability ~98.04%
• • No independent match data (form, surface, injuries, H2H) — we use a conservative estimate
• • Small difference between our estimated probability and market price results in essentially zero edge
