Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +16.6 pts: our 59.7% against the market’s 43.1% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -1.2% expected value a unit at +120
  • 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 f51710df-3df9-41de-9000-8c371d21675d; draw c269471e-a342-47a5-96e4-8f76166a9cd7

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 56.9%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +120 is 45.5%; our cushion past it is +14.3 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.
