Price history

de-vigged probability space

Plotted in implied-probability space rather than raw American odds. American odds jump across the -100/+100 boundary, so a chart drawn directly on them distorts distances; the axis is labelled back in American odds so it still reads like a betting chart.

Board price moved from +105 to +112 across the sampled window, against a model fair price that moved from +119 to +118 and a sharp consensus that moved from +117 to +116. All readings are listed in the table below the chart.+120+112+104-60m-45m-30m-15msnap

Consensus

weighted sources

No single book is treated as the answer. The fair estimate is a weighted blend, and the weights are part of what makes the estimate a model output rather than a quote.

Book dispersion

Where the sampled books actually sit. A stale quote frequently looks like the best number on the board, which is exactly why it is marked rather than silently included.

First movers

order carries information

No book led this market in the sample. Every sampled book moved together, which is itself a signal: there is no disagreement to exploit.

Playable threshold

where the label changes

The same market at a different price is a different decision. This is the price at which the demo model's label changes, which is a more useful thing to know than the label at one price.

Reasoning

market → state
  1. Market

    Every sampled book agrees inside two cents of price. Agreement this tight usually means the market has already done the work.

  2. Consensus

    The board price is worse than both the sharp consensus and the model fair price. There is nothing to buy here.

  3. Expected value

    The entire EV band sits below zero. This is the ordinary case: most rows on any board are PASS.

  4. State

    Score 41. Labelled PASS. Showing the PASS rows is deliberate — a board that only displays BET rows is a highlight reel.

This is the same sequence described on the methodology page, applied to one row.

Decay

How long this would last

An edge is not a fixed quantity waiting to be collected. It decays as the market absorbs whatever produced it, whether or not anyone acts.

Why half-life is scored, not just reported

A large edge that decays in three minutes is usually worth less than a small one that holds for twenty, because the time it takes to notice, check, and act is not zero. Persistence is a scoring component for that reason.
