Friday is a no-selection edition: €0 is staked and the full €50 fictional allocation remains unallocated. Current prices were verified across NBA, NHL and college football, while MLB’s conditional World Series Game 6 no longer exists. None of the live candidates cleared its break-even threshold with an independent, defensible probability margin. Unallocated money is not a stake and is excluded from return and ROI calculations.
All times are Europe/Dublin (GMT). Sources and prices were opened between 05:57 and 06:00 on 30 October 2026; the quoted FanDuel snapshots are timestamped 05:00 GMT and can move. This edition follows the site’s methodology: exact markets and timestamps, official fixture/result evidence, item-level settlement, explicit counterarguments, dated corrections and no carry-forward of the unaudited early archive.
First: settlement of the 29 October selection
Thursday’s published edition staked €6 on the Boston Bruins moneyline, including overtime and shootout, at FanDuel decimal 1.9615. The official NHL recap dated 30 October records St Louis’s 4–1 regulation win. Boston therefore lost; the settlement does not require any tie-break or overtime interpretation.
| Selection | Stake | Recorded odds | Official result | Return | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boston Bruins moneyline, including overtime/shootout | €6.00 | 1.9615 | Loss, 1–4 | €0.00 | −€6.00 |
Settlement arithmetic: a losing straight moneyline returns €0, so €0 − €6 = −€6.00. The quoted potential €11.77 return was conditional on Boston winning and is not counted.
Verified running record
The verified subset now contains 45 settled singles: 23 wins and 22 losses; €387.00 settled stakes; €391.89 returns; verified net +€4.89; ROI 1.26%. Arithmetic: €391.89 − €387.00 = €4.89, and €4.89 ÷ €387.00 = 1.2636%, shown as 1.26%. Today has no pending selection. This audited subset starts on 9 October and excludes the unaudited early archive, including the assumed 1.89 Kansas City price from 20 September.

Cross-sport screen: exact prices and rejection reasons
| Sport / event (Ireland) | Event and price evidence | Threshold and decision |
|---|---|---|
| NBA: New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers Scheduled 23:30; odds feed 23:40 | official NBA fixture; FanDuel Knicks −126 / 76ers +108, observed 05:00 GMT; decimal 1.7937 / 2.08. Consensus-based estimate: Knicks 52.9%. | No selection. −126 needs 55.75%, 2.85 percentage points above the estimate. The model explicitly says it applies no independent adjustment to the de-vigged market consensus. |
| NHL: New Jersey Devils at Vegas Golden Knights Scheduled 22:08; odds feed 22:10 | official Devils preview; FanDuel Devils −106 / Vegas −113, observed 05:00 GMT; decimal 1.9434 / 1.8850. Consensus-based Vegas estimate: 51.1%. | No selection. Vegas −113 needs 53.05%. The official preview also leaves Carter Hart’s availability unresolved; a goalie decision can materially move an NHL price. |
| NCAAF: Tulane at Charlotte 23:00 | official Tulane event page; FanDuel Tulane −360 / Charlotte +280, observed 05:00 GMT; decimal 1.2778 / 3.80. Consensus-based Tulane estimate: 74.5%. | No selection. −360 needs 78.26%, 3.76 points above the estimate. Tulane’s two recent head-to-head wins are form context, not a calibrated probability. |
| MLB: conditional World Series Game 6 Would have been 00:00 Sat | The official MLB final bracket records Milwaukee’s 4–1 series win; the official Game 5 page records the 4–1 clinching score. | No event and no price. Game 6 was conditional and was removed when Milwaukee clinched. A stale schedule entry or earlier series price cannot be repurposed into a fictional selection. |
Worked lesson: line shopping does not create independent evidence
The Knicks illustrate the distinction. FanDuel’s −126 converts to decimal 1 + 100/126 = 1.7937, requiring 1/1.7937 = 55.75%. The opened comparison page listed a cheaper BetRivers −112, decimal 1.8929, requiring 52.83%. Shopping the price reduces the threshold by 2.92 percentage points.
But the displayed 52.9% Knicks estimate is explicitly the de-vigged book consensus with no independent model adjustment. At −112 its nominal cushion is only 52.90% − 52.83% = 0.07 percentage points. Expected return per €1 would be 0.529 × 1.8929 = about €1.0013 before estimation error: roughly 0.13%, far below normal line movement and uncertainty.
A better price is useful only when an independently supported probability still clears it by a credible margin. Here the “estimate” and the market are effectively the same input, so treating their tiny difference as measured value would double-count the same information. The defensible action is €0 staked.
