At the time of writing bet365 had the head to head for South Sydney Rabbitohs is set at $1.68, and $2.20 for the Sydney Roosters, This sets the bookmakers implied probability for both teams as follows:
Rabbitohs
56.72%
Roosters
43.28%
Opportunity Bet
The bookies have priced this as a relatively even contest, giving the Rabbitohs a 56.72% chance of taking it out. But our analysis gives them a stronger edge at 61%, suggesting they’re actually a bit undervalued at the current price of $1.68.
With the Roosters sitting at 39% and priced at $2.20, the value’s not really on their side in this one. If anything, the Rabbitohs might still be offering a touch of value, with their true odds closer to $1.64 based on our numbers.
In summary: While it’s a tight contest on paper, our analysis shows the Rabbitohs hold a stronger edge than the bookies are giving them credit for. At $1.68, there’s still a small value opportunity backing Souths to get the job done.
What to do?
Interestingly the Roosters have dominated the Rabbitohs for the past two years, however, the Rabbitohs have had a pretty decent start to the year so far and are beating the Roosters in almost every single stat, while this looks like it has the potential to be a washout, we see the Rabbitohs taking this one by less than 12.
