- • Current favorite odds (1.407) imply slightly more than our win estimate, producing negative EV
Pros
- + Clear analytical edge that Kingsley is the better player based on records provided

Details
We view Cannon Kingsley as the stronger player on hard based on the provided profiles (Kingsley 27-21 career vs Bigun 9-15) and recent activity; we estimate Kingsley's true win probability around 68%. The market price (Away 1.407 -> implied ~71%) is slightly shorter than our estimate, producing a small negative edge at current quotes (EV ≈ -0.043 for a 1-unit stake). The home price (Bigun 2.84 -> implied ~35%) would require a much higher perceived upset probability (~32%) than we assign to offer value (min required odds ~3.125 at our underdog probability). Given both sides are negative expected value versus our model, we recommend taking no bet.
Key factors
- • Cannon Kingsley has a materially better career win rate and far more matches (27-21 vs 9-15)
- • Both players have recent matches on hard courts, so surface does not materially favor the underdog
- • Market prices the favorite a bit too short relative to our 68% estimate, leaving a small negative EV
