Tipster dossier — settled-bet performance through 2026-10-28 08:33 UTC
A straight upward line = consistent profitability. Step-jumps = single fortunate bets carrying the curve.
Blue bars under orange = picks lose to market expectations.
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 | 178 | $-1.79 | -1.0% |
| Minus best 1 bet | 177 | $-26.79 | -15.1% |
| Minus best 2 bets | 176 | $-37.79 | -21.5% |
| Minus best 5 bets | 173 | $-55.99 | -32.4% |
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.
