Highlights

• • Kingsley is the stronger player by record and form
• • Current market price for Kingsley implies too-high certainty; EV is negative at available odds

Pros

• + Clear favorite with a much better career record
• + No red flags (injury or surface mismatch) in the provided data to justify a large upset probability

Cons

• - Market has compressed the price to near-certainty (1.052), leaving no betting value
• - Small sample issues and noisy recent-match stats mean we must be conservative on the true probability

Details

The market prices Cannon Kingsley at 1.052 (implied ~95.2%). From the available profiles, Kingsley (23-21 career) is clearly the stronger player versus Thijmen Loof (2-13), but the data do not support a ~95% true win probability. We estimate Kingsley's true win probability at ~90% given form and sample sizes; at that probability the fair decimal price would be ~1.111. Using the current price (1.052) produces negative expected value (EV = 0.90 * 1.052 - 1 = -0.053), so there is no positive-value bet on Kingsley at available prices. Loof's long losing record and limited sample make him an unlikely value play at 10.02. Therefore we recommend taking no side unless odds for Kingsley worsen to at least 1.111 or better.

Key factors

• • Cannon Kingsley has substantially more match wins and experience (23-21) versus Loof (2-13)
• • Surface exposure is comparable (both have played clay and hard), so no strong surface edge for the underdog
• • Market-implied probability (95.2%) exceeds our conservative true probability estimate (90%), removing expected value at current prices
