🚨 UPSET ALERT! (What - no way - really? See below what this means)

  • Meaning: “UPSET ALERT” flags games where the model thinks the underdog has a meaningful chance to win outright.
  • How it’s determined: Our model’s upset logic triggers when the underdog’s win probability crosses an internal threshold (e.g., around 35–40%+), even if they’re not the favorite on ML/ATS.
  • Use it as: A heads-up to consider underdog ML sprinkles or to be cautious laying points with the favorite.
