What the tier system means
Sportsedge sorts every pick into one of three risk profiles, calibrated against 60 days of historical performance. We don't hide losses, and we don't bury the tier that drags ROI — that transparency is the whole point.
Low Risk picks are heavy favorites where the model agrees with the market direction. They hit at roughly 78%, but the payouts are small. This is the foundation of bankroll preservation, not where you find big edges. Moderate Risk picks are balanced markets and mild favorites. The vig drag here is real — historically negative ROI in this band — and we tell you so. We include it because removing it would be cherry-picking, and the goal is an honest model, not a flattering one. Higher Risk picks are underdogs in the calibrated +130 to +180 band. Lower hit rate, around 41%, but historically positive ROI thanks to the price. This is where most of the actual edge lives.The shape of tonight's slate tells you something. A Low-heavy night means the model is mostly confirming consensus. A Higher-heavy night means the model and the market disagree more than usual — and disagreement is where edge tends to hide.
Why this is a research tool, not a guarantee
Every pick we publish is logged immutably the moment it goes live. We don't delete losing picks. We don't rewrite history when a tier has a bad week. The numbers above are pulled directly from our settlement database — same data we show on the public results page.
A single night's variance doesn't tell you whether a model is good or bad. The 1,500+ pick rolling window does. That's why we publish daily, but evaluate the model on rolling 30/60/90-day performance.
If you bet, bet small. The edge here is real but thin. Most bettors lose long-term. This is a tool for research, not a way to "make money every day" — anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something else.
