Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is −1.2 pts: our 49.8% against the market’s 51.0% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -2.6% expected value a unit at -102
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

Published and graded, never staked.

Technical provenance

forecast 7bb19ba1-fe1d-4d76-b66d-85526c255ace; draw 0bd81b83-b65e-4605-90f5-8387b59c8320

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 49.0%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at -102 is 50.5%; our cushion past it is −0.7 pts
  • One round of golf settles it; eighteen holes of variance can erase an edge this size without the number being wrong

Edges this size lose often. The record, not any one pick, is the product.
