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.

Minus best 1 bet67$-15.90-23.7%
Minus best 2 bets66$-20.30-30.8%
Minus best 5 bets63$-29.60-47.0%

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.
