FULL ANALYSIS
Bayesian fusion favors Florida 55.4% vs 49.5% market with Dixon-Coles 4.19-3.07 and expected 3.1-4.2, but whales are EXTREME $768,738 to home and sharps want under with RLM. OMEGA total 7.5 vs 5.5 drives over posterior 57.2%, directly opposed by sharp under +6.2% EV, so only Lean over and Lean away ML with PASS on juiced -258 home spread.
SHARP MONEY
Weak sharp edge 0.7% to away on ML and spread, no RLM; strong sharp signal to under on total diverges from Bayesian over
Recommended Sizing
