- Draw: Adjusted (36.6%) > Implied (33.9%) → +2.7% EV

- Over 2.5 Goals: Implied (41.7%) vs. Underdog Rate (41%) → Fairly Priced.
4. Best Same-Game Parlay: "Bahia Win + Over 2.5 Goals"
Why This Combo?
- Bahia’s Attack: They’ve scored 2+ goals in 5 of their last 6 home games. With Atlético missing Rony and Everson, their defense is vulnerable.
- Over 2.5 Goals: At 41.7% implied probability, it’s priced as a coin flip. Given Bahia’s high-scoring form and Atlético’s leaky defense, the actual probability is likely ~50%, giving the Over a +8.3% EV.
Odds & Implied Probability:
- Combined Odds: 2.25 (Bahia) * 2.4 (Over) = 5.4 → Implied Probability: 18.5%
- Adjusted Probability: 52.2% (Bahia) * 50% (Over) = 26.1% → +7.6% EV
The Play: Bet Bahia to win and the Over 2.5 goals. If you’re feeling spicy, add the Under 2.5 Goals as a 3-leg parlay (but don’t—this is a math-based warning).
5. Runner-Up Play: "Atlético Win + Draw" (No, Really)
For the masochists who love a 3.5% EV edge in a 33.9% implied draw...
- Atlético Win + Draw: Combine their 35.2% adjusted win rate with the 36.6% draw edge.
- Combined Odds: 3.5 * 2.95 = 10.325 → Implied: 9.7%
- Adjusted Probability: 35.2% * 36.6% = 12.9% → +3.2% EV
Why? Because sometimes, the only thing more chaotic than Brazilian soccer is betting on a team that’s missing its best players to win and draw.
Final Verdict
Best Bet: Bahia Win + Over 2.5 Goals @ +7.6% EV
Second Best: Atlético Win @ +6.6% EV (if you’re a fan of "unbeaten streaks" and "key injuries").
Play it safe, or play it spicy—just don’t bet on the Under 2.5 Goals. That’s where the math goes to die. 🏟️🔥
