Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +1.9 pts: our 32.7% against the market’s 30.8% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -3.7% expected value a unit at +220
  • It did not clear the stake floor after doubt: published as a No Play, graded, never staked

Published and graded, never staked.

The golf case

revision 8, rank 5 of 1106 priced sides this week; sealed at fanduel, the best major book (major books only, 2026-08-02); consensus of 6 books

Technical provenance

forecast 534314f6-8a1b-4c48-ac91-953a6984c355; draw 273ebd6e-ea10-4668-9f35-e21502b196b0

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 69.2%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +220 is 31.3%; our cushion past it is +1.4 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.
