Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +12.9 pts: our 57.2% against the market’s 44.2% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -1.2% expected value a unit at +120
  • 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 80c24d52-15f5-4f97-be3f-3a35e7295831; draw 6778652a-55e6-4c20-8d57-6e7fab26746e

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 55.8%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +120 is 45.5%; our cushion past it is +11.7 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.
