Fair odds for every market

How to use this

Fair odds is the lowest price worth taking. It is where a bet breaks even. If your bookmaker offers a bigger number than the fair odds here, the model says that's value. Shop around: the same bet is often priced differently across books.

Probabilities and fair odds are derived from the model's full score-line distribution (expected goals: home 1.60, away 0.90). Half-time and HT/FT markets use a 45/55 first-half split. These are model estimates, not a betting guarantee.
