The Almanac's Take

The board is thin today — 257 lines are live but no plays cleared the edge threshold, so `top_plays` is empty. Worth noting the methodology runs hot: a known high bias means model overs are inflated at elevated predicted probabilities, so even borderline entries that nearly surfaced deserve skepticism on the over side. There are also no projections attached to any entry right now, which strips out a layer of context the model normally leans on. Nothing here is worth forcing.

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`.
