Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +13.5 pts: our 61.3% against the market’s 47.8% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -2.1% expected value a unit at +100
  • 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 12ae0a28-dc99-43e1-9283-1034010fc926; draw 010ea83a-e459-43b2-8b7b-ad6901a767db

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 52.2%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +100 is 50.0%; our cushion past it is +11.3 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.
