Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 57%, that outcome happens roughly that percentage of the time, with ~64% out-of-sample accuracy — but being the favorite is not being the winner: roughly 43 out of every 100 times Joint 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.
