Short Open started with a simple model: short the consensus, know the open. The goal is not to scream picks. It is to understand when the public has pushed a number away from its cleanest price.

The market is the starting point. Price is the discipline. Every read starts with player tendencies, line movement, ownership, matchup context, and what the number looked like at open.

This is our betting research: simple to read — data is a book, instinct tells the story.
