Odds shown are implied by the model's own probability, not quoted from a bookmaker. Markets missing from this list are ones the numbers did not clear the bar on.

The reasoning

On the match result the model has Port Vale at 48 percent, with the draw at 27 percent. That is a lean, not a strong one, so the draw is a live outcome here. The model expects roughly 1.2 goals from Port Vale and 1.1 from Exeter City, a combined 2.3, which is around the average for a competitive fixture. Two markets clear our bar on this fixture: Port Vale or draw at 75 percent and Over 8.5 corners at 64 percent. The most likely exact scoreline is 1-1, though at 13.2 percent that is a long shot by the nature of the correct score market. It does not publish a pick on match result, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score here, which means the numbers did not clear the bar rather than that we forgot to look. A market with no pick is the model saying it sees no edge.
