Highlights

• • Estimated true probability (85%) slightly exceeds market-implied (83.3%).
• • Expected ROI is modest (~2%) at the quoted 1.20 price.

Pros

• + Market price is widely available and suggests a clear favorite.
• + Conservative probability still produces a small positive EV.

Cons

• - Edge is very small and can disappear with minor changes in assumptions.
• - No specific intel on surface, form, injuries, or H2H to confidently support the estimate.

Details

We have no external match data, so we apply conservative assumptions. The market prices João Graça at 1.20 (implied win probability 83.3%). Given the large price gap and typical tournament dynamics where heavy favorites at 1.20 are often significantly stronger than opponents, we conservatively estimate João Graça's true win probability at 85%. At that estimate the market offers slight positive value: EV = 0.85 * 1.20 - 1 = +0.02 (2% ROI). The home underdog at 4.20 implies ~23.8% and would require a substantially higher true upset chance (~24%+) to be a value bet; absent evidence supporting that upset likelihood, we do not back the home player. We prioritize the widely-available 1.20 price for our EV calculation and flag that the edge is small and sensitive to the probability estimate because there is no match-specific intelligence (surface, recent form, injuries, or H2H).

Key factors

• • Market-implied probability for João Graça is 83.3% (1.20 decimal)
• • We apply a conservative true-win estimate of 85% given lack of specific data
• • Small positive edge at current public price is sensitive to estimation error
