Analysis
Summary: No value on the favorite at 1.356 — implied odds are richer than our conservative estimate of the home pair's win probability given the research provided.
Highlights
- • Implied home win probability: 73.7% (no value vs our 65% estimate)
- • Required minimum decimal odds for value: 1.538; current price 1.356 is too short
Pros
- + Home team are recognized doubles players historically (potential baseline edge)
- + Match surface is hard, which both sides have experience on
Cons
- - Provided career data for Salisbury/Skupski is fragmented and does not clearly justify a >73% win probability
- - Machac's extensive recent hard-court match play and Vocel's mixed form create uncertainty and reduce edge
Details
We compared the bookmaker-implied probability for the home team (1 / 1.356 = 73.7%) to our internal estimate of the true win probability (65%). The research provided includes only fragmented career/doubles records for Salisbury and Skupski that do not convincingly demonstrate dominance on hard courts in doubles, while Machac has substantial recent match volume on hard courts and Vocel has a mixed record. Given the limited doubles-specific data and contradictory signals in the supplied profiles, we do not have confidence that the true probability exceeds the implied 73.7%. At our estimated 65% true win chance, the bet on the home side at 1.356 yields negative expected value, so we recommend no wager.
Key factors
- • Bookmaker-implied probability (73.7%) exceeds our estimated true probability (65%)
- • Research shows limited or inconsistent doubles-specific data for Salisbury/Skupski in the provided sources
- • Machac has high overall match volume and recent hard-court activity; Vocel has mixed results — suggests underappreciated upside for the away pair
