The market certainly seems to favour the Chinese youngster over the domestic hopeful. The match winner price opened at an average price of around 1.25-1.30 and hasn’t drifted significantly since.
Traders at the notoriously sharp bookmaker Pinnacle have bucked this trend however by backing the Italian relentlessly from an opening price of 3.75 down to just 3.10 (indicating a win probability of around 30%). This could suggest value at other bookmakers currently offering larger prices.
There has been consistent backing for the Italian at this particular bookmaker. This is important as they happen to be the only bookmaker where winners are permitted. This typically means there line is the sharpest aside perhaps from exchanges.
Overall indications are that the Italian Bonadio may offer value at a price above 3.20 however its the total games, sets and a specific asian handicap market that present the best value currently.
