Details
The market prices Sarah van Emst as a heavy favorite (1.182 => implied win probability ~84.6%) and Madelief Hageman as a sizable underdog at 4.47 (implied ~22.4%). We only have Hageman's profile: a long career with an overall win rate of 559/1066 (~52.4%) but recent form appears poor (multiple recent losses in the provided recent-match snippet). With no profile for van Emst, we conservatively estimate Hageman's true chance here at 18% based on her recent downturn versus her career baseline. At p=0.18 the fair decimal odds would need to be >= 1/0.18 = 5.556 to be +EV. The current price of 4.47 yields EV = 0.18*4.47 - 1 = -0.195 (≈ -19.5% ROI), so there is no value backing Hageman at available prices and we therefore recommend no bet.
Key factors
- • Career win-rate 559/1066 (~52.4%) indicates baseline competence but includes many levels and years
- • Recent form in the provided snippet shows multiple recent losses, lowering short-term win expectation
- • Market strongly favors the away player (1.182); without her data we must be conservative and that removes value on the underdog
