Ticket 1, graded 1 star: I'm long SMU on SMU @ Florida St. This is a filled ticket in the book, not a hypothetical. number 19 SMU Mustangs at Florida State Seminoles, Mon, Sep 7, 7:30 PM ET. SMU Mustangs are 0-0, Florida State Seminoles are 1-0. The book has it SMU Mustangs -3, O/U 53.5. Kalshi is paying 43 cents on Florida State Seminoles. ESPN from Doak Campbell Stadium. Entry was 54 cents. My CutbackPredict fair value is 60 cents, so that's 6 cents of edge at the trigger. Stop is 44 cents — I'm out, no debate. Target is 62 cents. Risk on the ticket is $0.70, 0.0 percent of bankroll, 7 contracts. Invalidation: Starting quarterback scratch, a line move of more than two points against SMU, or the contract trading through 46c before kickoff.. Why: FPI has SMU at 55c; the number implies 65c; the market is paying 58c.

Grading the book. LOU on Louisville @ Ole Miss, in at 14 cents, won for +$1.26. MISS on Louisville @ Ole Miss, in at 68 cents, won for +$1.08. MISS on Louisville @ Ole Miss, in at 85 cents, lost for −$1.22. MISS on Louisville @ Ole Miss, in at 68 cents, won for +$1.22. MISS on Louisville @ Ole Miss, in at 91 cents, lost for −$1.61.

Classroom time. Today's term is implied probability. A Kalshi contract pays one dollar if the event happens, zero if it doesn't — so a price of forty cents literally means the market thinks there's a forty percent chance. If your own number is fifty, and you can buy at forty, you're buying a dollar bill for forty cents of risk. That gap between your number and the price is the whole job.

Classroom time. Position sizing. I risk one to two percent of the bankroll on any single ticket, and the size comes from the stop distance, not from confidence. Entry minus stop, divided into the risk dollars — that's the contract count. A bigger edge gets the same risk, never a bigger risk. Sizing is what keeps one bad Saturday from ending the season.

Quick word on how I price all of this. Every fair value you hear on this show comes straight off the analytics at CutbackPredict.com — that's the model scanning the full college football board against live prediction-market prices, all day. If you're watching on the live stream page, the CutbackPredict buttons are right there on the main page. Click through, run the numbers on any game we're talking about, and see the same edge I'm seeing before the market moves. CutbackPredict.com.

Risk plan. Total capital at risk across 1 open tickets is $0.70, 0.0 percent of a $5915.18 bankroll. Quarter-Kelly on the model edge, hard cap two percent on any single ticket, and every stop is a resting order, not a feeling.

The private N F L desk runs alongside the college board, but those tickets are for paying members only. Membership is nineteen ninety-nine a month for the N F L package, or twenty-nine ninety-nine for the college and N F L combo, and it opens up the entries, stops, targets, sizing and the settled record. Cancel anytime.

That's the tape. Every price, record and line in this episode came off the live feeds, and every fair value came off CutbackPredict.com. Before you go — the CutbackPredict call-to-action buttons are right on the live stream main page; click through and run today's board yourself. This is a public practice bankroll and it's educational, not advice. The Oracle, out.
