Details
We find value on Michael Geerts (away). The market prices Federico Cina at 1.37 (implied 73.0%), which is materially higher than Cina's career win-rate (46/69 = ~66.7%) and higher than a reasonable matchup estimate after comparing both players' records and recent form. Michael Geerts has a solid career record (42-33 = ~56.8%) and recent Challenger hard-court activity, so a fair estimated probability for Geerts in this head-to-head is around 40.0%. That implies fair decimal odds of 2.50; the available price of 3.00 therefore offers positive expected value. EV calculation used: EV = p * decimal_odds - 1 = 0.40 * 3.00 - 1 = 0.20 (20% ROI per unit staked). We used the quoted market price of 3.00 for the away side when computing EV.
Key factors
- • Market implies 73% for Cina which exceeds his observed career win-rate (~66.7%)
- • Geerts' career win-rate (~56.8%) and recent hard-court activity suggest a stronger chance than the market-implied 33%
- • No clear injuries or disqualifying form shown in the provided research, so discrepancy appears market-driven
