Match Info
Analysis
Summary: Data is insufficient to justify value on either side at current market prices; the favourite (O'Connell) is slightly overpriced relative to our conservative win probability estimate, so we recommend no bet.
Highlights
- • Market implies ~67.9% for O'Connell; our estimate is 64%
- • Break-even odds for our estimate are 1.563, higher than the available 1.474
Pros
- + Market favors O'Connell, which aligns with a reasonable expectation that the home/favorite is stronger
- + Eubanks' recent losses and sub-.500 season performance temper confidence in the away side
Cons
- - No provided data on O'Connell in the research increases uncertainty around our probability estimate
- - Edge is small; current odds do not meet our minimum required price for positive EV
Details
We compared the market price (O'Connell 1.474 implied ~67.9%) to our assessment of the match. The research available is limited to Eubanks' profile (27-29 on the season, recent losses including hard-court Challenger and US Open) and the match is on outdoor grass. Given Eubanks' marginal recent form and grass experience but lacking any specific performance data for O'Connell in the provided research, we assign O'Connell a true win probability of 64%. That implies required fair odds of 1.563. The current market odds of 1.474 are shorter than our required odds, producing a negative expected return (EV = 0.64 * 1.474 - 1 = -0.057). Because the market price does not offer positive expected value under our conservative estimate and data limitations, we recommend no bet.
Key factors
- • Market-implied probability for O'Connell (1.474) is ~67.9%, above our 64% estimate
- • Eubanks' season record is slightly below .500 (27-29) with recent losses, limiting his momentum
- • Research contains no O'Connell-specific data, increasing estimation uncertainty
