Where the Model Disagrees with the Odds: Magesi vs Richards Bay
The strongest value appears on the draw outcome, where the model's probability is meaningfully higher than the implied odds. The under 2.5 market, while highly likely, is priced prohibitively short and offers little value. Double chance for the home side also looks reasonable given Richards Bay's away struggles.
