Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +11.6 pts: our 40.1% against the market’s 28.4% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: 0.4% expected value a unit at +250
  • It cleared the stake floor at tier C, 1u

A measured disagreement, sized to the doubt.

Technical provenance

forecast 366b084b-18bb-4d5b-98ed-9f59a24866e6; draw 65aac708-07d0-47d5-8348-d5beb034d16f

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 71.6%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +250 is 28.6%; our cushion past it is +11.5 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.
