Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +4.5 pts: our 53.3% against the market’s 48.8% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -0.6% expected value a unit at +108
  • 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.

A measured disagreement, sized to the doubt.

Technical provenance

forecast 85e895f2-2ef4-4d16-a46f-e8ff3473131a; draw dd7c9e8d-4228-4fb4-ab19-b8198a3479ed

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 51.2%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +108 is 48.1%; our cushion past it is +5.2 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.
