NARRATIVE
LETDOWN: Bueno won a Final 1d ago (0-2d window) — live letdown spot.
VENUE: Bueno 2-0 at Estoril (just won the title here) — momentum his.
Pereira: hard→clay surface switch off a 4-matches-in-6-days hard-court week.
VERDICT — PASS
ML model shows dog value (43.6% vs 31.7% book implied), and the letdown spot is
real, but the qualitative read does NOT validate it: Pereira is more fatigued
(583 vs 490 min), switching surfaces, and a class below. ELO sides with the
market. Betfair 1.03/1.03 = zero liquidity — no executable price; per pricing
discipline, illiquid small-event ML is the losing segment. Skeptic wins: pass.
