Why this made the card

  • The raw disagreement is +3.7 pts: our 56.3% against the market’s 52.6% with the juice removed
  • The edge survives the blend into the market: -5.5% expected value a unit at -125
  • 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 046882b9-8d2d-4a63-89f4-e18fd2e8816f; draw b7a33081-6791-4e2b-9d55-4176a5ebc013

What can beat us

  • The market holds the other side at 47.4%; we are the disagreement, not the consensus
  • Break-even at -125 is 55.6%; our cushion past it is +0.7 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.
