Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +9.7 pts: our 46.6% against the market’s 36.8% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: 0.1% expected value a unit at +165
  • It cleared the stake floor at tier C, 1u

A measured disagreement, sized to the doubt.

Technical provenance

forecast 753fec5a-b80a-491e-8697-764e285e7686; draw 6970b9d9-4791-4ad7-8d03-7849d84187c0

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 63.2%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +165 is 37.7%; our cushion past it is +8.8 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.
