ALT MARKETS (Betfair)
AH A -2.5: 1.83 vs model cover 50.6% → negative edge. B +2.5: 2.10 (impl 47.6%) vs 49.4% → +1.8%, thin.
Total 21.5: Over 1.93 vs 49.1% → negative. Under 2.00 vs 50.9% → +0.9%, thin.
VERDICT: PASS
The 9.3% "edge" on B is ELO-only; ML sides with the market. The qualitative case that would validate B — Parks' heavy week and surface switch — is fully offset by Havlickova's dreadful form (1W in 7, losing to sub-1500 ITF players). Fatigue edge with no form floor on the other side is not a bet. Alt-market edges (+1.8% B+2.5, +0.9% Under) are below the bar. No stake, any market.
