Verdict

STRUCTURALLY LOSING

Small sample (20 bets) — anything below ~100 settled bets means CIs are wide enough to be near-useless. Calibration is roughly neutral: actual win rate 30.0% vs implied 31.7% (-1.7pp). Picks track market expectations. Recent 30d (ROI +5.6%) is materially better than the prior 60d (-50.4%) — trending up, but expect mean-reversion.

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	20	$-5.60	-28.0%
Minus best 1 bet	19	$-9.10	-47.9%
Minus best 2 bets	18	$-10.35	-57.5%
Minus best 5 bets	15	$-13.40	-89.3%

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.
