›Ranking: #31 vs #262 (better ranked)
›Recent form: 4/10 in recent matches
›Model 81% vs market 76% → the model sees it as MORE likely than the odds
The model makes A. Li the favorite with a 81% win probability, against K. Cross's 19% — a conviction read: the model sees the match clearly leaning one way. Converted to odds, that probability is worth about @1.23; the offered odds are around @1.32 (a 76% implied), slightly above the market, so the model is a touch more optimistic.
Several factors explain the number: #31 vs #262 (better ranked); 4/10 in recent matches; model 81% vs market 76% → the model sees it as more likely than the odds.
Read it with perspective. Our probability is calibrated — when the model says 81%, 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 19 out of every 100 times Cross 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.
