Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +10.2 pts: our 51.6% against the market’s 41.4% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -0.2% expected value a unit at +135
  • 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 bb8b55ea-baec-4a3f-8c60-9586dc3818b7; draw 26db6581-d5b4-48b1-b0b7-b2ef9985b34f

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 58.6%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +135 is 42.6%; our cushion past it is +9.1 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.
