Sports that can join a priced card for Bank Builder · evaluated Fri, Oct 30

0 eligible legs · which sports qualify for priced cards
  • MLBno events
  • NFLnot eligible for priced cards
  • UFCnot eligible for priced cards
  • Premier Leaguenot eligible for priced cards
  • NBAnot eligible for priced cards

A sport enters only when its model has earned product eligibility for priced cards. The selector never requires a sport to appear, and a day with no qualifying card publishes no card. The Parlay Center's suggested-card lanes use their own rule (real posted prices, an official settlement path and enough priced games), shown on the Parlay Center. Model suggestions follow a separate rule, an official forecast frozen before the game, and carry no price.

Model suggestions · 2026-10-30

Model suggestion — paper only. No sportsbook price, no payout, not a bet. Each leg is the Official Forecast’s own pick, frozen before its game. Its accuracy over a large forward sample is not yet established. Joint probability = product of each leg's official forecast probability, legs from different games only (treated as independent across games). Tier = the published risk band of the model-fair price (1 ÷ joint). No sportsbook price is used.

No Bank Builder model suggestion today: a mixed card needs legs from two sports; today only Ligue 1 has a leg with a published probability. All model suggestions on the Parlay Center →

Why, card by card

Bank Builder suggestion · 2 legs, Low or Medium band, highest joint probability

No suggestion: a mixed card needs legs from two sports; today only Ligue 1 has a leg with a published probability.

NBA game winners

NBA-only cards from the official sides, tiered by the published Elo-derived game-winner estimate. One leg per game.

Bank Builder · 2 games, Low or Medium band, highest joint

No card: an NBA game-winner card needs 2 games with a published Elo-derived estimate; none has one.

Model Performance: the Elo rating’s game-outcome accuracy is not yet established — 71 regular-season games graded so far; the preregistration requires 300 before any accuracy claim. An estimate derived from the Elo team rating — not an independently validated probability, not a simulation result, and not a betting recommendation.

Watch the ladder climb toward $10K

A paper ladder: each lane climbs $100 → $10K in 5 steps, and a step advances only when every leg wins.

A historical record, not a strategy shown to work — two ladders have completed, on ten winning legs, far too small a sample to conclude anything repeats.

How the ladder works

each lane independent · a lost step stops that lane · a win rolls the paper return into the next step · most lanes stop before the top, and every stop is published
