Why No Tip?

No covered fixture had enough bookmaker consensus to price properly.

Paper trading only. A rejection is a recorded decision, not a missing update. · Open rejection log

Top 10 Rejected Leans

No ranked rejected leans were produced in this scan because no odds-covered market generated a priced candidate. That usually means the slate had too little bookmaker consensus in the tracked leagues, not that the system found ten hidden bets and hid them.

Paper trading only. The model needs a priced candidate before it can rank or reject it.

SETTLED · EV 3.6%

Tottenham v Leeds

Home DNB at 1.48. Post-review Spurs-side counter-signal. The straight 1X2 model overreacted to Tottenham injuries, but Spurs are in a relegation survival spot and Leeds are not under the same pressure. The cleaner expression is Tottenham draw-no-bet / Asian handicap 0 rather than Tottenham outright. Paper trading only; this does not cancel the existing Leeds away-win paper tip. Settled 1-1: draw-no-bet pushed, so no profit or loss.
