Game Analysis

Bayesian posterior pegs Real Madrid win at 78.7%, neutral vs de-vigged market but raw odds imply only 57% breakeven for -135. Moderate whale volume ($20k, 100% away) and Kalshi 80.5% provide Tier 2 confirmation on away side. Poor data (32% available) caps conviction; prefer ML to spread due to -145 juice; totals avoided historically.
