Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is −2.4 pts: our 44.3% against the market’s 46.8% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -3.6% expected value a unit at +120
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

Published and graded, never staked.

Technical provenance

forecast 7fa71f3f-3086-4263-b8c4-97aeab98cd17; draw acfb825d-3d7a-4a6d-8935-fc7481f8a715

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 53.2%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +120 is 45.5%; our cushion past it is −1.1 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.
