Every result public.
Full Match Day -2 report attached.
We passed on the Rams Super Bowl market at 12% because the edge was too thin.
The division market was different.
Same team. Better price. Cleaner expression of the thesis.
Buy the mispricing.
Update the fair value.
Sell the repricing.
π¨ PTS NFL WEEK 4 UPDATE π¨
Two division moves worth highlighting:
π¦ Atlanta Falcons β NFC South
Entry: 24%
Current market: 39%
Contract move: +62.5%
π Los Angeles Rams β NFC West
New position: 28%
PTS fair value: 32β34%
Position size: 1.0% of bankroll
The market has caught up fast on the Falcons, but the underlying division picture improved too β so weβve raised fair value and are holding the full position for now rather than trimming simply because itβs profitable.
π PTS Scorecard
Closed-position ROIC: +60.7%
Open positions: 5
Capital deployed: 7.75%
Cash reserve: 92.25%
Still the same framework:
Buy the mispricing.
Add only when the thesis still holds.
Sell the repricing.
π¨ PTS NFL WEEK 3 UPDATE π¨
π¦ββ¬ Baltimore Ravens β Super Bowl
Original entry: 7%
Added: 6%
Blended entry: ~6.6%
Current market: 8%
Total position: 2.5% of bankroll
The thesis held while the price fell, so we added. One win later, the market repriced back toward fair value.
β‘ Chargers β Super Bowl
Current market: 1%
No add. The price fell, but the underlying information changed too. PTS fair value was cut sharply, so weβre holding rather than blindly averaging down.
π¨ PTS POSITION UPDATE β BALTIMORE ADD π¨
π¦ββ¬ Ravens β Super Bowl Winner
Original entry: 7%
Added today: 6%
New total position: 2.5% of bankroll
Blended entry: ~6.6%
PTS fair value: 8.5β9.0%
The market moved lower. Our thesis didnβt.
So we added.
π¨ PTS NFL β WEEK 2 MOVES π¨
π Cincinnati AFC North
Entry: 31%
Trim: 50% at ~48%
Realized return on trimmed half: ~+55%
Cincy moved to 2-0, Baltimore slipped to 1-1, and the market repriced almost exactly into our updated fair-value range.
BUY ALERT
π¦ββ¬ Baltimore Ravens β Super Bowl Winner
Entry: 7%
PTS fair value: 8.5β9.0%
Position size: 1.5% of bankroll
The Week 2 loss reopened a discount we think is too large relative to Baltimoreβs underlying team quality.
Why Cincy?
We see a real gap between the market and our division fair value, and weβre willing to buy before todayβs Houston game rather than wait for a βperfectβ entry that may never come.
β οΈ Main risk: Baltimore remains the divisionβs toughest obstacle.
β οΈ Houston matchup
π¨ PTS NFL POSITION #4 β CINCINNATI π¨
π Bengals to win the AFC North
π Polymarket entry: 31%
π PTS fair value: 35β36%
πΌ Position size: 1.5% of bankroll
Why Detroit?
The market has punished the losses, but the offense still looks like a contender-level unit. We think the selloff has gone too far relative to their underlying championship probability.
β BUY at 3%
PTS NFL Position #3. Buy the mispricing. Sell the repricing.
π¨ PTS POSITION ALERT β DETROIT
π¦ Detroit Lions β Super Bowl Winner
π Polymarket entry: 3%
π PTS fair value: 4.75%β5.0%
π Estimated edge: +1.75 to +2.0 pts
πΌ Position size: 2.0% of bankroll
π¨ PTS POSITION UPDATE β BUFFALO CLOSED π¨
𦬠Bills Super Bowl Winner
Entry: 8%
Exit: 13%
Return on position: +62.5%
Our original PTS fair value was 10.5%. Once the market pushed well through that level, we took the gain and moved on.
Buy the mispricing. Sell the repricing. π
That disconnect is exactly what weβre looking for.
π Portfolio: 4% deployed
π° Dry powder: 96%
π Next up: Detroit, Houston, Baltimore, Seattle, Denver
PTS isnβt about picking winners. Itβs about buying probabilities when the market gets them wrong.
BUY ALERT
β‘ Position #2 β LA Chargers SB Winner
Entry: 3%
PTS fair value: 4.25%
Position size: 1.5% of bankroll
Why LAC?
Polymarket sold them off hard after Week 1, while DraftKings still sits around +2000 and the Chargers are -7 this week.
