Key lesson: in this game, every "press the upside" path ended at −$15. Every "save bankroll" path ended at $0 or near it. The optimizer didn't beat Dale this time — they both struck out on the same legs. The real win was the hedge/cash-out branch, which the lab flagged correctly from halftime onward.
Operating Rules
What this panel optimizes for
- Source pool stays Uncle Dale’s picks; optimizer changes structure, not thesis.
- 3-leg cards beat 8-leg lottery tickets for trackable probability.
- “All Gas” prioritizes max gross payout and accepts wipeout risk.
- “Lock Win” uses hedge sizing to recover stake/floor first.
- Same-game correlation is noted manually; don’t multiply leg probabilities blindly.
