Washington MysticsvsPortland Fire

Mystics–Fire Asian handicap: Unibet quoting 2.8% soft to sharp consensus, 38 hours from tip-off

What happened: Final score: 56–75. This one lost. A real edge is a long-run average, not a per-bet promise — we publish every outcome either way. The market agreed with the signal: the price closed +0.0% better than where the edge was flagged (positive closing-line value — the strongest sign the edge was real). For the record: the flagged price stayed live for about 38 hours after detection before the edge closed.
