Details
We compare the bookmaker prices to our estimated win probability. The market makes Aleksa Ciric an overwhelming favorite at 1.04 (implied 96.15%). Based on Ciric's limited pro sample (16 matches, 10-6) and the sparse recent-match data provided — with no information on opponent Theo Coats, injuries, or clear surface advantage — we estimate Ciric's true win probability at ~92.0%. That is materially below the implied 96.15% required to make a 1.04 price profitable. At our estimate the EV on the 1.04 price is negative (EV = 0.92 * 1.04 - 1 = -0.043), so there is no value in betting the favorite. The away price (11.0, implied ~9.09%) would require Ciric's true win probability to be below ~9.09% to be valuable, which is implausible given the available data. Given the heavy market skew and limited opponent info, we do not recommend taking either side at current prices.
Key factors
- • Market implies 96.15% for the home (1.04) which is above our 92% estimate
- • Aleksa Ciric has a very small pro sample (16 matches) making probability estimates uncertain
- • No usable information provided on opponent Theo Coats, injuries, or head-to-head
