Underdogs covered the runline 10-4 and won outright 11-3 across 14 graded games. Below: the slate result, the plays our models fired — full stake and reduced (provisional) stake — and the games our discipline guard told us to pass.

Actionable plays we fire pre-game: full-confidence (Rule A/B) plays at standard stake and provisional (line-cooling, Rule C) plays at reduced stake. Provisional plays carry a smaller stake while that model is still proving out.

How to read this: the totals above are season-to-date and include our pre-launch backtest (Mar 27–May 11), when these rules were still being fit to past data — so they overstate what was bettable in real time. The honest out-of-sample record, since the rules locked on May 12: full-stake plays 17-15 (53.1%), reduced-stake plays 66-31 (68.0%). Records are recomputed straight from our logged game-by-game data every night. Stand-down (WATCH) results — 6-4 this season — are excluded entirely, even though they'd improve the headline.
