Mia Ristic vs Nina Vargova

Highlights

• • Research shows both players with 10-21 records and no clear edge
• • Away at 3.04 > fair odds of 2.00 given our 50% estimate

Pros

• + Large positive EV at current market price (≈+52% ROI on a 1-unit stake)
• + No documented evidence in the research that justifies the market favoring the home player so strongly

Cons

• - Research is sparse and nearly identical for both players; we may be missing factors that justify the market line
• - High variance: a coin-flip estimate may be wrong and the market could be pricing invisible information (form, fitness, seedings)

Details

We find a clear pricing discrepancy: both players' limited profiles show near-identical records (10-21) and similar recent form in the available data, offering no objective reason to assign a large edge to the home player. The market prices Mia Ristic at 1.341 (implied ~74.6%) while Nina Vargova is priced at 3.04 (implied ~32.9%). Given the parity in the provided records and lack of surface/injury/H2H differentiation in the research, we treat this as roughly a coin-flip matchup and estimate Nina's true win probability ≈ 50%. At that probability, the fair price for Nina is 2.00; the offered 3.04 therefore contains value. Using p=0.50 and current decimal odds 3.04 yields EV = 0.50 * 3.04 - 1 = +0.52 (52% ROI). We acknowledge high uncertainty due to sparse, identical data for both players and no surface-specific breakdown, so this is a high-risk value play rather than a low-variance prediction.

Key factors

• • Provided profiles show near-identical records and recent results for both players
• • Market heavily favors home (1.341) despite no clear evidence of superiority in the research
• • High uncertainty from limited, identical data and missing surface/H2H details
