Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +14.2 pts: our 53.8% against the market’s 39.6% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -1.6% expected value a unit at +140
  • 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.

The golf case

Technical provenance

forecast 5dec5cfe-e5c2-428c-a9a9-7d81670c7a8a; draw bf6a7add-afb5-4d9c-a624-217861fbf8ed

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 60.4%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +140 is 41.7%; our cushion past it is +12.1 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.
