Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +0.7 pts: our 1.7% against the market’s 1.0% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -12.6% expected value a unit at +13000
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

Published and graded, never staked.

The golf case

Technical provenance

forecast 61761071-1706-469d-8bcc-c7beb744e889; draw 20c8ba43-5b0b-4f30-8542-98fc79937363

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 99.0%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +13000 is 0.8%; our cushion past it is +0.9 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.
