🪙 The toss market
The toss is priced as what it is — a coin. Both sides trade at effectively even money (1.92–1.95): a 50/50 event with margin on top, no value by construction. The bettable question is what follows — bat or bowl first, and how each branch reprices the match at this ground.
🏟️ What the toss means at Headingley, Leeds
- ▸ If Sunrisers Leeds end up chasing: our model moves them to 58.8% — fair odds 1.70 (WEL 2.43)
- ▸ If Sunrisers Leeds bat first: 60.8% — fair odds 1.64 (WEL 2.55)
A pre-toss match price averages both branches. On a ground like this, the toss itself creates — or kills — match-market value the moment it lands.
