Tipster dossier — settled-bet performance through 2026-06-05 22:16 UTC

Verdict
STRUCTURALLY LOSING
Small sample (59 bets) — anything below ~100 settled bets means CIs are wide enough to be near-useless. Calibration is negative: actual win rate 23.7% trails market-implied 27.5% by -3.8pp — picks have negative skill relative to fair odds.
Since last weekly snapshot: ROI: +2.5% (-21.5% → -19.0%) · Shrunk ROI: +2.7% (-18.9% → -16.2%)

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 2 bets57$-22.70-39.8%
Minus best 5 bets54$-33.70-62.4%

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.
