Verdict
STRUCTURALLY LOSING
Small sample (12 bets) — anything below ~100 settled bets means CIs are wide enough to be near-useless. Calibration is negative: actual win rate 16.7% trails market-implied 24.8% by -8.1pp — picks have negative skill relative to fair odds.
Since last weekly snapshot: ROI: +2.2% (-18.0% → -15.8%) · Shrunk ROI: +1.2% (-14.8% → -13.5%)

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.
| Subset | N | P/L | ROI |
|---|
| Full record | 12 | $-1.90 | -15.8% |
| Minus best 1 bet | 11 | $-9.90 | -90.0% |
| Minus best 2 bets | 10 | $-10.00 | -100.0% |
| Minus best 5 bets | 7 | $-7.00 | -100.0% |
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.
