From my understanding, the odds for Pot2 (Arsenal and City) teams will never get better after the group draw.
City is already too short.
Arsenal will only improve their chances if they draw Benfica, in which case they are ****ed anyway.
For Port3 teams, the effect on their odds if they draw Atletico, Dortmund and Napoli will be higher than if they draw Porto, Leverkusen or Sevilha.
So, from where I'm seeing this, if you want to take Pool on this bet, I think it's +EV to wait for the draw before making your bet than to make it now and pray.
Tougher group? Get Better Odds
Softer group? Enjoy your life and lol at United when they can't get past Leverkusen.
If I want to take Benfica on a last longer, I'll wait to draw an English team, open my wallet to the deluded fans and collect the money.
Edit:
I just realised how wrong what I said about City is. NVM.
I believe point still stands for Pot3 teams, Pool and United.
