Verdict
STRUCTURALLY LOSING
Calibration is negative: actual win rate 23.9% trails market-implied 31.8% by -7.9pp — picks have negative skill relative to fair odds. Bayesian-shrunk ROI (regressed toward -13% population baseline by sample size) is -25.7% — a more honest expectation than the raw -30.5%.
Since last weekly snapshot: ROI: -4.3% (-26.2% → -30.5%) · Shrunk ROI: -2.9% (-22.8% → -25.7%)

What's driving the ROI?

Strip away the top winning bets and see how the picture changes — a stable record degrades gracefully, a lucky record collapses.

Minus best 2 bets132$-52.37-39.7%
Minus best 5 bets129$-64.17-49.7%

If stripping the top 2 wins materially changes the ROI, the headline number is being held up by a couple of fortunate longshots — not stable skill.
