Model vs marketWhere the model and the market disagree

The model has the Bruins at 51.2%. Polymarket priced them at 49.5¢ at the mid, with the best ask at 50¢. That's +1.7¢ of edge at the mid and +1.2¢ at the ask, and the ask is the number that matters because it's what you would actually pay.

BooksWhat the books say

The DraftKings line was VGK -118 with the total at 6.5, which de-vigs to 48.3% on the Bruins.

The model sits 3.0 points above the no-vig book number on the Bruins.

AvailabilityWho's in, who's out

VerdictThe call

No lean. The best the model could find was +1.2¢ on the Bruins at the ask, short of the 3.0¢ needed. Passing on thin edges is part of the process, not a dodge.
