NAVI Junior’s roughest losses are a warning

Pick Ideas

Price-sensitive SAW moneyline

SAW is the lean, but avoid paying an overly short price: recent prediction-market indications have put the team around 75–80% to win, equivalent to roughly 1.25–1.33 decimal odds before accounting for margin. Consider the bet only if the offered price clears your own estimate of fair value.
