Calibration significance

Expected vs observed by participant

Each synthetic participant’s margin-adjusted price-implied rate against its observed win frequency over 2,000 simulated events, with a 95% Wilson interval, a proportion z-test, and a whole-field chi-square goodness-of-fit. Because the pricing and performance models are independent, well-calibrated sides land inside the Wilson band.

Edge detection

Mathematical discrepancies

3 synthetic discrepancy signals detected (0 strong, 0 notable). Illustrative only — look-ahead signals are not realizable live edges.

  • Golfer 2: +EVlook-ahead

    Positive expected value per unit under the assumed true probability. Educational only — not a live edge.

    +1.24%

  • Golfer 3: priced vs fair

    The priced probability sits above the de-vigged fair line — the built-in margin you pay on this selection.

  • Golfer 2: priced vs fair

    The priced probability sits above the de-vigged fair line — the built-in margin you pay on this selection.

    +1.01%

Synthetic, look-ahead discrepancies — illustrative only. They use the simulation’s known true probabilities and are not realizable live edges.

Real-world use case

  • Reload a sport's statistics page with a different batch seed and check whether a flagged band stays significant — one-off flags are usually noise.
  • Compare a favourite band's tight Wilson interval against a longshot band's wide one to see why long prices need far more events before a deviation means anything.
