VERDICT: PASS
The 4.7% "value" on Niemeier exists only because ELO is below market; ML points the opposite direction (71.1% A). A B-side bet needs qualitative validation and Niemeier supplies the opposite: 3-7 in 10, zero dominant wins, recent losses to 1500-level opposition. Avdeeva's own form is shaky (2 straight losses, heavy 14d load), so no case for laying 1.44 on A either. Contradicting models + no qualitative confirmation on either side = efficient enough. No alt markets priced. Pass.
