Thursday is a no-selection edition: €0 is staked and the full €50 fictional allocation remains unallocated. NFL, NHL and Europa League favourites were checked against exact named-book prices, official event information and event-specific probability estimates. Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and AC Milan all fall below their price-implied break-even thresholds. Unallocated money is not a stake and is excluded from returns and ROI.
All times are Europe/Dublin (GMT). Sources were opened through 06:08 on 5 November 2026. Each odds record below was observed at 05:00 GMT. Prices can move. This edition follows the site’s methodology: exact market evidence, official fixture and team sources, item-level settlement, separate audit statuses, explicit uncertainty and no carry-forward of the unaudited early archive.
Settlement check for 4 November
The Wednesday edition published no selections: €0 was staked and €50 remained unallocated. There is no event or market to settle, so returns are €0 and the ledger change is €0. This checked non-entry is neither a loss nor a void.

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.

| Event (Ireland) | Exact price and threshold | Comparative reasoning and decision |
|---|---|---|
| NFL Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens 01:15 Friday 6 November | Pinnacle: Jacksonville −494, decimal 1.2024, moneyline; observed 05:00 GMT across 20 books. Break-even: 83.16%. The official Ravens game page confirms Thursday 20:15 ET, or 01:15 GMT Friday. | Dimers estimates Jacksonville at 81.0%, 2.16 points below the threshold. The pro-Jacksonville case is unusually strong: the official Ravens injury report lists quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley out. The counterargument is price: the market already demands more than an 83% win rate. Injury shocks also make historical team data less representative, and the model’s update sensitivity is not disclosed. No selection. |
| NHL Chicago Blackhawks at Tampa Bay Lightning Official puck drop 00:00 Friday; odds metadata 00:10 | LowVig / BetOnline: Tampa Bay −385, decimal 1.2597, moneyline including overtime/shootout; observed 05:00 GMT across 18 books. Break-even: 79.38%. The official Lightning preview confirms Thursday 19:00 ET, or 00:00 GMT Friday. | Dimers estimates Tampa Bay at 72.9%, 6.48 points below the threshold. Tampa are perfect at home, and the official preview records Andrei Vasilevskiy at 14–1–0 with a .928 save percentage against Chicago. The countercase is hockey’s upset variance: the same model assigns Chicago about 27%, far above the 20.62% ceiling implied by −385. The official forward lines are also explicitly subject to change. No selection. |
| UEFA Europa League AC Milan v Ferencváros 17:45 | DraftKings: AC Milan −280, decimal 1.3571, 90-minute match winner; observed 05:00 GMT across 17 books. Break-even: 73.68%. The official UEFA fixture list confirms 18:45 CET, or 17:45 GMT. | SportScore estimates Milan at 68%, 5.68 points below the threshold. Milan’s home advantage and stronger squad support favouritism. Against that, the official Milan press conference says rotation is planned and contrasts Milan’s three competition points with Ferencváros’s nine. The exact XI is therefore a material uncertainty at this observation time. No selection. |
Timing note: the official NHL source gives a 00:00 GMT puck drop, while the odds record timestamps the event at 00:10. Both clocks are retained: the official time describes the event, and the provider time identifies the quoted price record.
Worked lesson: dramatic news is not the same as a good price
Jacksonville at −494 converts to decimal odds of 1 + 100 ÷ 494 = 1.2024. Its break-even probability is 494 ÷ 594 = 83.16%. Using the event-specific 81.0% estimate, expected return per fictional €1 would be 0.810 × 1.2024 = €0.9740: an expected loss of about 2.60 cents per euro if that probability were perfectly calibrated.
The Ravens’ quarterback absences are powerful information, but the relevant question is what remains after the market has repriced it. The 2.16-point shortfall between model and threshold is small enough that model error matters, yet it points in the wrong direction for a stake. The other favourites have wider shortfalls: Tampa Bay’s 72.9% estimate versus 79.38% required, and Milan’s 68% versus 73.68%. Declining all three is a price decision, not a prediction that every favourite will lose.
