Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +16.6 pts: our 59.5% against the market’s 42.9% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -0.8% expected value a unit at +125
  • 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 ef573a2a-e196-41cb-af15-4248f0f5bc08; draw 02b13ad6-91cb-4400-b415-dff9ee08957e

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 57.1%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +125 is 44.4%; our cushion past it is +15.1 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.
