Highlights

• • Home must be ≥69.44% to be profitable at 1.44; we estimate 62%
• • No side shows positive EV under conservative assumptions — recommend no bet

Pros

• + Market correctly prices a clear favorite, reducing likelihood of overlooked value
• + Conservative approach avoids overbetting on incomplete information

Cons

• - Lack of match-specific data increases uncertainty in our probability estimate
• - If unseen factors (injury, surface advantage, recent form) exist, our conservative estimate could be wrong

Details

We have no match-specific data (form, surface, injuries, H2H) and therefore apply conservative assumptions. The market prices are Home 1.44 (implied 69.4% raw; 64.6% after normalizing for bookmaker margin) and Away 2.63. Using a conservative true-win estimate for the favorite (Betina Tokac) of 62.0% (we assume a modest favorite edge but not as high as the book's break-even), the break-even probability at the quoted home price (1/1.44) is 69.44%. Our estimated true probability (62.0%) is below that threshold, producing a negative expected value: EV = 0.62 * 1.44 - 1 = -0.107. The away side at 2.63 would require only ~38.0% to break even; however, our conservative view does not assign the away player that high a win probability given the favorite status, so that side also lacks value. Given both sides appear negative on EV under conservative assumptions, we recommend no bet.

Key factors

• • No independent data on form, surface, injuries or H2H — we use conservative baseline assumptions
• • Bookmaker break-even for home at 1.44 is 69.44% (market-implied ~64.6% after margin); our true estimate is lower (62%)
• • Away would need only ~38.0% to be profitable at 2.63, but our conservative priors do not support that high an upset probability
