Verdict
STRUCTURALLY LOSING
Small sample (28 bets) — anything below ~100 settled bets means CIs are wide enough to be near-useless. Calibration is negative: actual win rate 17.9% trails market-implied 31.4% by -13.5pp — picks have negative skill relative to fair odds.

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 | 28 | $-13.80 | -49.3% |
| Minus best 1 bet | 27 | $-17.80 | -65.9% |
| Minus best 2 bets | 26 | $-20.00 | -76.9% |
| Minus best 5 bets | 23 | $-23.00 | -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.
