Details
We view the current market as overstating Taylah Preston's edge. The provided profiles show essentially identical career spans, surface experience (clay/hard), season records (10-21) and recent form (both with recent losses), with no clear injury or matchup advantage for Preston. The market-implied probability for Preston at 1.35 is ~74% while Micic at 3.00 implies ~33.3%. Given the near-identical data and lack of evidence supporting such a large gap, we estimate Elena Micic's true win probability at 40%. At that probability the fair decimal price is 2.50; the offered 3.00 therefore offers value. Calculation: EV = p * odds - 1 = 0.40 * 3.00 - 1 = 0.20 (20% expected ROI). We use the current moneyline 3.00 for the EV calculation.
