“Take either side of the puck line when our goals model, weighted against market prices and learning nightly, gives it 2 to 15 points more chance than the exchange price, and the price is between 30 and 70 cents. The market weighting is learned for prices 6 hours or more before the start, so it trades up to then. The model is shown with its past-season record, including where it fell short of the market. It is the Lean version of Puck Line Model: it trades the smaller leans that agent passes on, and skips any contract that agent already holds. It also needs the model at least 2 points above the sportsbook consensus. The 2 points over the price are counted after the exchange fee.”
