Model lenses

The same numbers read in different ways by one model. These are not separate tipsters, and none of them is a tip.

The CalibratorRaw model read: 56.2% on Over / Under 2.5 Goals, graded against real out-of-sample results, no odds attached.
The TacticianSees an open, higher-tempo game from the 56.2% over 2.5 read.
The ScoutManchester United are the model’s pick on the result at 56.7%, a lean on probability, never on price.
The RealistThis one sits near a coin-flip, the honest read is low conviction, no strong lean.
