Highlights

• • Market price 1.13 implies 88.5% — we estimate 90%
• • Small but positive expected value (≈0.017 per 1 unit staked)

Pros

• + Market strongly favors the home pair — reasonable to expect a high win probability
• + Available decimal odds (1.13) slightly exceed our conservative fair price (1.111)

Cons

• - Edge is very small — vulnerable to unreported factors (injury, withdrawal, surface mismatch)
• - Single-match outcomes are high variance; small positive EV may be lost to variance

Details

We have no external match-specific data (surface, injuries, H2H or recent form) and must therefore make conservative assumptions. The market price of 1.13 implies an implied probability of ~88.5%. Given the heavy market favoritism toward M. Hoedt/S. Leon and absent contradictory information, we conservatively estimate their true win probability at 90.0%. At that probability the fair decimal price is 1.111; the available price of 1.13 is slightly higher and therefore offers positive expected value. This is a small edge (about 1.7% ROI) and assumes no hidden factors (injury, withdrawal, or strong unreported form swing) that would materially alter the true probability. Because the margin is slim and singles are high-variance, we flag this as only a marginal value opportunity.

Key factors

• • No external research available — conservative assumptions only
• • Market-implied probability (1/1.13 ≈ 88.5%) vs our conservative estimate (90%)
• • Small positive edge but single-match variance and unknowns increase risk
