B. Shelton vs A. Tabilo — prediction

The model makes B. Shelton the favorite with a 77% win probability, against A. Tabilo's 23% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.30; the offered odds are around @1.28 (a 78% implied), virtually the same as what the market prices in.

Several factors explain the number: #5 vs #30 (better ranked); 7/10 in recent matches; 31d vs opponent's 9d.

Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 77%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~65% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 23 out of every 100 times Tabilo wins. The model also tends to agree with the market, so the odds already capture almost all the edge: don't take it as a sure value. Watch out for: Returning from a long layoff (31d) — possible rustiness.
