Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +13.4 pts: our 61.3% against the market’s 48.0% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -3.8% expected value a unit at -105
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

A big raw disagreement is not automatically a bet. The market gets a vote: after our number is blended into the devigged consensus and charged for doubt, what is left has to carry a full unit. Here it did not, so the pick published as a No Play and is graded for calibration only.

Published and graded, never staked.

Technical provenance

forecast 832e1322-a366-438c-970e-ee2c2a3fdd7c; draw cae8bffe-9ed7-466b-a874-39c30d879ec6

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 52.0%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at -105 is 51.2%; our cushion past it is +10.1 pts
  • It settles over the full tournament; a missed cut ends it early and variance runs all four days

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