Highlights

• • Away (1.35) implies ~74.1% — market is heavy on the favorite
• • Our conservative estimate (70%) yields −5.5% ROI at current odds

Pros

• + We avoid taking a likely market-favored but low-edge favorite in absence of data
• + Conservative stance protects bankroll from informational uncertainty

Cons

• - If inside information (injury, surface advantage) exists, our conservative estimate could miss genuine edges
• - Declaring no bet for many matches reduces short-term action/opportunity

Details

We have no external form, injury, surface or head-to-head information and must therefore be conservative and favor the market-implied expectation. The listed moneyline implies probabilities of ~33.3% for Leo Doukhan (3.00) and ~74.1% for Mateo Bivol (1.35). Given the information vacuum, we estimate Mateo Bivol's true win probability at 70.0% (0.70) — below the market-implied 74.1% to account for uncertainty and potential unseen factors. At that estimate the expected value on the away price 1.35 is EV = 0.70*1.35 - 1 = -0.055 (−5.5% ROI), so the favorite is overpriced relative to our conservative view. The underdog (home) implied probability would be ~30.0% by our estimate, and the current home price 3.00 (implied 33.3%) does not clear our required edge threshold either. Therefore we recommend no bet: neither side shows positive expected value at the current widely-available odds.

Key factors

• • No external data on form, surface, injuries or H2H — we apply a conservative estimate
• • Market strongly favors away at 1.35 (implied ~74.1%)
• • Our conservative true probability (70%) produces negative EV at current favorite odds
