Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is −18.2 pts: our 71.3% against the market’s 89.5% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -4.4% expected value a unit at -1000
  • 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

Technical provenance

forecast 4fab4d58-09ed-4de1-9d2a-b46355e08285; draw 7552df87-4e28-42a3-a763-2af2bf978897

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 10.5%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at -1000 is 90.9%; our cushion past it is −19.6 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.
