Updated 9 October 2026: a pricing review of the original card. This edition now examines the numbers behind the six previously published selections. The original prices and schedule below are preserved for transparency; they have not been independently revalidated in this correction and should not be treated as current executable odds. Unsupported claims of a measured betting edge have been removed.
What the six prices demand
Picking a likely winner is only half the problem. At 1.36, the return is small enough that repeated success must exceed 73.53% just to break even in a win-or-lose market. The table separates the potential profit from the returned stake and makes the price hurdle explicit.
| Original selection | Recorded price | Break-even threshold | Stake | Profit if won |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dortmund win | 1.36 | 73.53% | €9 | €3.24 |
| West Ham win | 1.50 | 66.67% | €8 | €4.00 |
| Florida State +3.5 | 1.95 | 51.28% | €9 | €8.55 |
| Atlanta Dream win | 2.30 | 43.48% | €7 | €9.10 |
| Iowa +2.5 | 2.00 | 50.00% | €9 | €9.00 |
| Golden State +4 | 1.93 | 51.81% of non-push outcomes | €8 | €7.44 |
These thresholds come from 100 ÷ decimal odds. They are not model forecasts. For the whole-number Golden State +4 line, exactly a four-point defeat can return the stake under standard two-way spread rules; the stated threshold applies conditional on a non-push outcome. The actual bookmaker rules must be checked before settlement.
The original allocation
| Time (Ireland) | Event | Selection | Stake | Odds | Potential return |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19:30 | Borussia Dortmund v Werder Bremen | Dortmund to win | €9 | 1.36 | €12.24 |
| 20:00 | West Ham United v QPR | West Ham to win | €8 | 1.50 | €12.00 |
| 00:00 Sat | Louisville v Florida State | Florida State +3.5 | €9 | 1.95 | €17.55 |
| 00:30 Sat | New York Liberty v Atlanta Dream | Atlanta Dream to win | €7 | 2.30 | €16.10 |
| 02:00 Sat | Washington v Iowa | Iowa +2.5 | €9 | 2.00 | €18.00 |
| 02:30 Sat | Las Vegas Aces v Golden State Valkyries | Golden State +4 | €8 | 1.93 | €15.44 |
| Total / maximum return | €50 | — | €91.33 | ||
Total allocated: €50. Maximum return if all six win: €91.33, including stakes. Maximum profit: €41.33. Maximum loss if all six lose: €50. Those extremes describe payout mechanics; neither is a forecast.
Why win count alone is misleading
Suppose Dortmund, West Ham, Florida State and Golden State win, while Atlanta and Iowa lose. Returns would be €12.24 + €12.00 + €17.55 + €15.44 = €57.23: a €7.23 profit.
Now suppose Dortmund, West Ham, Atlanta and Golden State win instead, while Florida State and Iowa lose. Four selections still win, but returns fall to €55.78 and profit to €5.78.
A three-win day demonstrates the difference more sharply. Dortmund, West Ham and Golden State return only €39.68, losing €10.32. Florida State, Atlanta and Iowa return €51.65, making €1.65. The same 3–3 record can produce opposite outcomes. Price and stake matter as much as the count of winners.
Where the original reasoning needed more evidence
Dortmund and West Ham: a strong league position or recent home wins may support favouritism, but cannot establish the 73.53% and 66.67% success probabilities demanded by these prices. An injury list needs confirmed absences, likely replacements and an explanation of their effect; its length alone is not analysis.
Florida State and Iowa: taking points changes the settlement condition, but it does not create value automatically. Florida State +3.5 can win despite a three-point defeat; Iowa +2.5 loses on a three-point defeat. Any argument based on a quarterback injury requires a verified availability update and a clear treatment of the uncertainty. No calibrated cover probabilities were supplied in the original edition.
Atlanta: at 2.30 the price hurdle is 43.48%. A claimed two-game series lead is not a probability model for the next game, particularly if venue or player availability changes. The original article did not establish a measured edge over that hurdle.
Golden State: +4 is materially different from +3.5 because a four-point defeat may push. A price comparison is meaningful only when line, match period and overtime rules match. A team-news report from the previous game cannot confirm availability for this one.
What to retain from this card
The €7–€9 stakes are editorial allocations, not outputs from a validated staking model. Spreading selections across sports does not by itself prove diversification or profitability. Before a card qualifies for the verified record, every fixture, price timestamp, market and final result needs evidence. If a price cannot be verified, the correct allocation is no selection—not an assumed industry-standard price.
Correction to the results record
The former introduction carried a cumulative simulated profit of €18.95. That figure is unaudited, and the first edition included an explicitly assumed price. It is therefore withdrawn from this edition’s headline performance reporting. A verified replacement total is not yet available; it must not be reported as €0 or reconstructed from today’s odds.
