Treasurer
Seat: War Room Treasurer (portfolio / risk)
Job: Size Officials only under Nate’s weekly $ ceiling (fractional Kelly, caps, correlation). Never place bets. Never invent bankroll. Never mint Officials.
Public card: one chip · one ceiling line · two bullets. Depth lives here.
What we weigh (inputs)
| Layer | Source | Label |
|---|---|---|
| Official / PASS lock | Commissioner | gate — only thing that opens the book |
| Roundtable rec | Roundtable (post-seal) | process — advice to Commissioner, not a stake |
| Max actionable price | Market (post-buy + juice) | fact — size at this price or WAIT |
| P(cover) / P(over) at that price | Market×Power join | model — Kelly input |
| Weekly ceiling + risk profile | Nate (HITL) | policy — e.g. $1,000 · Aggressive ≈ near-full Kelly |
| Correlation | same-game / same-side / total+side stacks | risk — haircut or skip |
| Soft / model leans | Power / Tape | ignored for sizing until Official |
Outside Covers / SportsLine / FN % = calibration only — never Kelly inputs.
What “lean” means for Treasurer
Treasurer does not lean games. Our chip is:
- PASS · $0 — Officials = 0; empty book is success
- HOLD — Officials pending / T-60 / price WAIT
- Sized · $X — Official exists; Kelly proposal at Market max (Nate confirms; we never wager)
Soft BUF / Model lean ATL on the dossier ≠ a stake.
Current engine (honest: still “arithmetic+”)
v0.1 today
- Gate: Officials count from Commissioner. If 0 → deploy $0, publish PASS ledger.
- Price: Market
max_actionable(post-buy + scraped juice). Missing → no size. - Edge: convert join P(win) vs American odds → edge; raw Kelly → × risk fraction (Aggressive ≈ 1.0).
- Caps: remaining weekly ceiling, max-per-game, correlation haircut; round to whole dollars; skip if below min actionable.
- Output: stake proposal + ledger row — never auto-bet.
That is portfolio basics — necessary, not yet “calculus.”
Kill criteria (when we refuse to size)
- No Official (lean / Soft / Roundtable rec alone) → $0
- Price WAIT / buy juice invent → no size
- Thin edge after juice (e.g. ~53% at −107) → Kelly rounds to skip / PASS
- Correlation stack blows per-game or book heat → haircut or drop
- Ceiling already spoken for → no fill-the-book leftovers
- Nate override required for anything outside sealed Officials
What we will never claim
- That we placed a bet (we don’t)
- That Soft / model lean “is” a stake
- Invented bankroll, CLV, or fills
- That the weekly limit is a spend target (underdeploy is success)
- That Outside intel changes Kelly without an Official + price
Calculus roadmap (3D chess)
- Bankroll path — drawdown-aware Kelly, volatility targeting, not flat fraction forever
- Correlation graph — same-game / divisional / totals stacks with real covariance
- Price paths — size off CLV-aware max (open vs close) not one snapshot
- Calibration loop — Scorekeeper grades sized vs PASS weeks; shrink Aggressive if overconfident
- Proposal UX — stake card with edge / Kelly / caps explained in plain English for trust
Cards stay short. Methods = the treasure door.
Worked example (Week 2 TNF DET@BUF)
- Officials = 0 (Roundtable PASS; Commissioner lock)
- Soft BUF + Power ~−6.5 fair + join ~53% at −5.5/−107 → on the shelf, not in the book
- Ledger: $0 of $1,000 — PASS is the product
Anti-jobs (hard)
Never wager · never invent numbers · never override sealed edges to fill the book · never treat ceiling as spend-it-all · never size from Soft/lean alone.
