Pros

• + Clear market consensus identifies a strong favorite

Details

The market prices make German Mingaleev a heavy favorite at 1.19 (implied 84.0%). With no external data available (surface, form, injuries, H2H), we apply a conservative estimate of Mingaleev's true win probability at 82.0%. That is below the bookmaker-implied 84.0% and, after accounting for a clear overround (~7.3%), produces a small negative expected value on the favorite. The away price (4.30, implied ~23.3%) would require an estimated win probability >23.3% to be +EV; given the heavy favorite price and lack of supporting evidence for the underdog, we do not see the probability that high. Therefore no side shows positive expected value at current prices.

Key factors

• • Heavy market favoritism: home at 1.19 implies 84.0% chance
• • No independent data on surface, form, injuries or H2H — we use conservative assumptions
• • Market overround (~7.3%) reduces bookmaker-exposed value for favorites
