Model accuracy
Walk-forward backtests: every prediction was made before the result was known. The dashed marker on each bar is 52.4% — break-even against standard -110 vig.

Full NCAAB track recordThe honest verdict
A competent forecaster that roughly matches the Vegas line on prediction error — but with no demonstrated betting edge. None of the four models clears the 52.4% needed to beat the spread long-term, and the edges that existed in older eras have decayed as markets got sharper. Good enough to follow for fun; not a way to make money.
