The Almanac's Take

The board is thin today — 143 lines are priced, but the model surfaced zero top plays, and there are no projections attached to any entry. With `bias_direction` set to high, any over probability the model does generate already runs warm, so the bar for a credible edge is higher than usual. Chasing marginal numbers into a model that's known to over-estimate hits overs at high predicted probabilities isn't a spot worth forcing. Nothing here clears a reasonable threshold; the hits board is a pass for now.

How we model these edges

Model method:
ml_monte_carlo
Approximation quality:
Reasonable
Bias direction:
Model edges on overs are biased high — real overs are slightly worse than reported.
Edge definition:
model_over_prob - no_vig(over_implied_prob)
  • ·Per backtest, the model over-estimates hits overs at high predicted probs (sharpness issue); remediation is the projection engine (`src/projections/hitter.py`), not the probability layer.
  • ·Probabilities come from a 1000-rep Monte Carlo on the per-PA outcome distribution. Lines outside the sim's threshold grid (very rare) fall back to the Poisson approximation — see the per-entry `model_over_prob_method` stamp.
  • ·Integer lines (e.g. line=2.0) are treated as 'over wins on ≥2', which slightly overstates over_prob vs sportsbook push rules. Half-point lines (X.5) — the near-universal case for these markets — are unaffected.
Planned improvement: Backtest the Monte Carlo `prop_probs` against realized outcomes over a full 2024-2025 sample and recalibrate the per-PA distribution if the residuals exceed ±2 pp at any decile bucket. See `scripts/backtest_props.py`.
