Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +4.3 pts: our 52.4% against the market’s 48.1% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -3.3% expected value a unit at +110
  • 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 70789086-d4e5-4f7c-84cf-a952ab68fb05; draw 65d689b4-e103-4417-880a-bf5010c94b7b

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 51.9%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +110 is 47.6%; our cushion past it is +4.8 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.
