Did the Market Get It Right?
Heavy money on both win lines was buried together: the match ended in a draw and those positions went to zero. It is a neat illustration of how unforgiving three-way markets are — you must judge not only who is stronger, but whether they are strong enough to actually win. In a contest where the result was always likely to be tight, the draw deserved a higher price than the market was willing to give it.
