Lord1Egypt Argus Edge — Prediction Market Betting Engine
The complete Argus strategy for finding and exploiting edge in crypto prediction markets.
Core Formula
Edge = our_P(win) - market_implied_P(win)
Bet when: edge ≥ 10% AND fresh market (<30 min old) AND TA score ≥ ±2
Kelly stake = (edge × bankroll) / odds
Strategy Rules
Freshness Guard
- Skip markets >92% consensus (dead signal, L020)
- Prioritize markets <30 min old (primary window)
- Primary bets WR: 77.8% vs overall 56.6%
Counter-Consensus Rule (L023)
TA score ≥+1 + market DOWN >80% + ≥20 min remaining → bet UP (counter-consensus has positive EV, validated at 5x+ payout)
