Matchup Edges (DVP)

Historical Context

The Math

PIFF 3.0 starts with a baseline projection: Solet's season avg 1.12 fouls/90 (Serie A CB median: 0.98). We apply adjustments via Monte Carlo sims (10k iterations).

Final projection: 1.45 fouls (78% >0.9, +97% edge). Edge calc: (Model prob - Implied prob) / Variance; line implies ~50% at even money, but we see 78%.

Explanation for newbies: Each row builds the projection. DVP is the killer (+25% lift). Variance: σ=0.65, so 68% outcomes 0.8-2.1. Pros: Backtest shows 82% hit rate on T2_STRONG signals.

Line value: At 0.9, even -150 implied (60%) is crushed by 78%. No model pick conflict.

What Would Change Our Mind

Top flippers (thresholds to fade):

• Sudden Solet benching: If starter out >50% minutes, proj drops to 0.7 (-45% edge).
• Udinese key attacker ruled out: Reduces pressure; if top forward scratches, -0.25 fouls.
• Referee assignment: Lenient arbiter (under 10 fouls/game avg) flips to 65% prob.
• Line moves to 1.2+: Edge erodes to 20%; we pass.
• Weather/extreme pace drop: Rainy pitch or Udinese <50 possessions: -15% prob.
