Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is −1.3 pts: our 9.6% against the market’s 10.9% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -17.4% expected value a unit at +700
  • 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 1, rank 4 of 147 priced sides this week; sealed at fanduel, the best major book (major books only, 2026-08-02); consensus of 4 books

The read as sealed, written before the gun and never edited after.

Technical provenance

forecast f6f9629c-c73c-4246-95fd-2343d691d65b; draw 37accb81-55bb-4506-aac0-ce915bbbbcab

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 89.1%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at +700 is 12.5%; our cushion past it is −2.9 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.
