Reasoning(claude-haiku-4-5-20251001)

Smarkets is pricing the draw at 4.50 (22.22% implied) versus Pinnacle's fair value of 4.34 (23.05% implied), creating a 0.83 percentage point gap in probability. After accounting for Smarkets' 2% commission on net winnings, the post-tax edge calculates to 3.69%, suggesting the draw is underpriced relative to the true probability distribution of this fixture.
