Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +7.5 pts: our 57.5% against the market’s 50.0% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -4.2% expected value a unit at -111
  • 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 4fab4d58-09ed-4de1-9d2a-b46355e08285; draw 7552df87-4e28-42a3-a763-2af2bf978897

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 50.0%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at -111 is 52.6%; our cushion past it is +4.9 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.
