Where the data disagrees with the market

Edges are the gap between the model's probability and the de-vigged market probability. Higher edge = more potential value. ⚠ = low data confidence.

Things to consider

Model and market disagree by 18.8pt toward Dallas Davison — but confidence is low and the market may know something the data does not. Lines move for reasons: injuries, weight miss, camp news. Check BKFC weigh-in results before betting.

Pat Casey is 10 years older. In bare knuckle, hand durability and cut vulnerability decline fast past 35 — this is a meaningful physical gap.

Things to consider

Model and market disagree by 17.5pt toward David Burke — but confidence is low and the market may know something the data does not. Lines move for reasons: injuries, weight miss, camp news. Check BKFC weigh-in results before betting.

David Simpson is 6 years older. In bare knuckle, hand durability and cut vulnerability decline fast past 35 — this is a meaningful physical gap.

David Burke has a 3" reach advantage — extra distance to land clean jabs and stay outside the pocket unless David Simpson can force infighting.

Tray Martin has finished 100% of BKFC wins by KO — elite finish rate. Going to the cards neutralizes this edge.

Things to consider

Shane Jordan is making their BKFC debut. The gap from gloved boxing/MMA to bare knuckle is real — cuts, hand swelling, and 2-minute rounds all favor Daniel Pettit's experience.

The PropsBot model is a transparent factor-based scoring system — not a black box. For every bout we score the two fighters on ten+ dimensions, combine via weighted sum, and convert to a probability via a logistic function. That model probability is then compared to the de-vigged moneyline from the market to flag potential value.

Per-factor accuracy from our point-in-time backtest (skipped where data is thin):

Recent Form (n=122)
58.2%
BKFC Record (n=132)
56.1%
Height (n=125)
52.0%
Reach (n=152)
52.0%
Age (n=175)
50.9%

Each factor's edge strength is its own sub-score — a 1" reach gap barely moves the needle; a 6" gap is meaningful. Missing data drops a factor's weight to zero rather than guessing.

Be honest with yourself: 59.0% accuracy on toss-up-filtered picks means we're wrong roughly 4 out of every 10 bets we recommend. The model is a decision aid, not a crystal ball. BKFC intangibles (cut depth, weight cut, camp news, injuries) aren't fully captured. Never bet more than you can lose on a pick without confirming with additional research.
