Base rates beat narrative
For almost every question you can trade, the best starting estimate is how often this kind of thing has happened before. The narrative tells you why this time is different. The base rate tells you how often "this time is different" turns out to be true.
The favourite-longshot bias, and why cheap shares are usually expensive
Across prediction and betting markets generally, longshots are overpriced and heavy favourites are mildly underpriced. It is a structural bias, it does not require you to know anything about the subject, and it is smaller and lumpier than it first looks.
When outcomes do not add up to a dollar
In a market with mutually exclusive outcomes, the prices should sum to $1.00. When they do not, there may be a trade - and the gap is almost always smaller than the cost of taking it, for reasons that are visible before you commit anything.
Information versus opinion: the filter
An edge requires knowing something the price does not already reflect. A written test that separates information from opinion is the difference between a process and an expensive hobby, and most trade ideas fail it in under a minute.
