Details

We estimate Bruno Kuzuhara is the clear favorite but his recent record (26-30) and mixed qualifying results temper his absolute probability. The market price of 1.06 implies a 94.3% win probability; our best estimate (85%) is substantially lower, producing a negative expected value at current odds. Given the limited information on Marvin Spiering and no evidence that Bruno is >94% likely to win, there is no value to back either side at the quoted prices. To produce positive EV on Bruno we would need a decimal price ≥ 1.176, which is well above the current 1.06.

Key factors

• • Bruno Kuzuhara is heavily favored in the market (1.06) but has a sub-.500 overall record (26-30)
• • Recent results show mixed qualifying-level outcomes rather than dominating wins
• • Very limited/no verifiable data on Marvin Spiering in the provided research, increasing uncertainty
