Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +9.1 pts: our 34.8% against the market’s 25.6% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -1.9% expected value a unit at +270
  • 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 ccecd35a-c7e6-45c1-93f2-dc4f9281c4f7; draw eeb15438-8b0a-44ad-9ab9-16bdd68a9dfa

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 74.4%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +270 is 27.0%; our cushion past it is +7.7 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.
