8 games covered, one play
We make no claim that these plays win. Two pre-registered studies, both published in full, found this market cannot be out-forecast at the moment we can act: a market-blind model lost to the de-vigged consensus in every season and market tested, and buying the best available price returned less than the vig it was paying. So this is not sold as an edge. It is sold as process and receipts — the whole slate reasoned through from market prices, one play we would actually act on, and every one of them graded here in public, win or lose. Football is staked at zero units.
Record reset disclosed: pre-launch test history.
Official cohort starts September 11, 2026 under fp-v0.4; earlier boards retain their original rules.

No market
Every game we could not cover, with the reason. Published in full at all times: a game we cannot cover is a game we have no play on, so this leaks nothing and it is the proof that nothing was quietly dropped.
