Highlights

• • Home implied probability ~86.96% vs our estimated 86.0%
• • Required decimal to be profitable ≈ 1.163; current 1.15 is below that

Pros

• + Market consensus clearly favours home, suggesting a likely winner
• + Clay surface known (no adverse surface surprise)

Cons

• - Insufficient supporting data (form, injuries, H2H) to justify improving the home probability
• - Price is very short — small misestimate turns any apparent edge into a loss

Details

We view the market price (home 1.15 / away 4.90) as heavily favouring the home player but, given the limited research available (only surface = clay, no form, ranking, injury or H2H data), we cannot justify a true probability materially higher than the market-implied figure. The implied probability from the home price is ~86.96%; after accounting for uncertainty and lack of corroborating information about form or matchup advantages on clay, we estimate the home win probability at 86.0%. At that probability the fair decimal for the home win is ~1.163, which is higher than the current 1.15 offered, so there is no positive expected value at available prices. Because the information set is sparse, we prefer to pass rather than chase a very small edge on a short-priced favourite.

Key factors

• • Market heavily favours the home player (short decimal) leaving little room for edge
• • Only known variable is surface (clay); no form, injury, or H2H data to justify raising true probability
• • Current price (1.15) is below our fair threshold (1.163) making the bet negative EV
