Verdict

STRUCTURALLY LOSING

Small sample (2 bets) — anything below ~100 settled bets means CIs are wide enough to be near-useless. Calibration is negative: actual win rate 0.0% trails market-implied 23.4% by -23.4pp — picks have negative skill relative to fair odds. Bayesian-shrunk ROI (regressed toward -13% population baseline by sample size) is -16.3% — a more honest expectation than the raw -100.0%.

Since last weekly snapshot: ROI: -50.5% (-49.5% → -100.0%) · Shrunk ROI: +7.1% (-23.4% → -16.3%)

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.
