FATIGUE
A: 8 matches/14d, 657 court-min, back-to-back 5, last 07-21
B: 7 matches/14d, 649 court-min, back-to-back 3, last 07-21
Court-time diff 8min, matches diff 1 -> Roughly equal, BUT A carries the
heavier back-to-back load (5 vs 3).
NARRATIVE
LETDOWN (A): won a Final 07-20, 2 days ago -> classic underdog trap on the
favourite normally, but here A IS the dog. Letdown + fatigue land on A.
Venue: A on a deep Hamburg run but off a Iasi title against soft field.
VERDICT — PASS
The only edge is a model-over-market read on dog A (+8.5% book). The
qualitative picture contradicts it: A is the more fatigued side (b2b 5) AND
is in a letdown spot after a title vs weak opponents, while B has beaten
Strong opposition (Charaeva DOM) and is the deserved favourite. Commission-
adjusted Betfair edge on A only ~4.6% (<5%, min 2.50) and unvalidated.
Alt markets thin: total over ~+1% at line 21.0, handicap model null.
Model disagreement without qualitative confirmation -> no bet.
