At the time of writing bet365 had the head to head for Parramatta Eels is set at $2.40, and $1.58 for the St. George Illawarra Dragons, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
Eels
39.70%
Dragons
60.30%
Opportunity Bet
In this case, the bookies and our model are pretty closely aligned. The Dragons are rightfully favoured, with our numbers giving them a 62% chance compared to the bookies’ 60.30%. The Eels are sitting at 38%, not far off the implied 39.70% from the market.
That means there’s not much edge to work with here. The current odds of $1.58 for the Dragons and $2.40 for the Eels are more or less in line with our expectations. It’s a fairly priced market, so there’s no clear betting opportunity jumping out.
What to do?
The Eels haven’t been having a great start to the season, and while the Dragons aren’t exactly sitting at the top of the ladder themselves, the Dragons are well in front when it comes to stopping the other team from scoring. The Dragons should take this one pretty easily, the head to head doesn’t hold much value, we think the Dragons at $3.40 is a solid option.
