The Betting Edge
Unibet’s implied percentages overstate Melbourne Storm at 78.93% versus our model’s 65.18%, and understate the Cowboys at 21.07% versus our model’s 34.82%. In other words, the market has the Storm far too short. The Cowboys carry real value at $4.50–our model gives them a much higher chance than 21%. Back the Cowboys head-to-head as your top play.
