Detaljer

We compare the market-implied probabilities (Illinois ML 5.20 -> implied 19.23%; Ohio State ML 1.14 -> implied 87.72%) to our conservative estimated true probabilities. Given the likelihood of variance in a single NCAA football game, home-field effects, and the non-zero upset frequency in college football, we estimate Illinois's true win probability at 22%. At the quoted home decimal price of 5.20 this implies positive value: EV = 0.22 * 5.20 - 1 = +0.144 (14.4% ROI). The away price (1.14) is too short relative to our estimated away probability (78%) and offers no value. We acknowledge high uncertainty because no injury/form/H2H data were available; this recommendation is driven strictly by the gap between our conservative probability estimate and the market-implied probability for the home underdog.
