Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +10.1 pts: our 55.2% against the market’s 45.1% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -2.1% expected value a unit at +110
  • 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 8a5b5d5b-2353-4f74-9d96-640a64020039; draw 60060b55-13cc-402c-8f47-110146f9f0c9

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 54.9%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +110 is 47.6%; our cushion past it is +7.5 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.
