What the price required

At -135, this selection had to win 57.4% of the time simply to break even — that is what the price itself demanded, before any view about the event. The model put it at 52.3%, 5.1 percentage points below that line — which is why a selection like this is a marginal one.

What the model was risking

The same number says this was expected to lose about 48 times in every 100. A selection priced this way is not a prediction that the event will happen; it is a judgement that the market was charging too little for the chance that it would. Whether that judgement paid is recorded above, and every other time it has been made is in the public ledger.

How this report was produced

A sport-specific model simulates the event to a win probability, which is compared with the live market price; the selection is locked before the event starts and graded against official final data. Full method on the methodology page.
