Fantastic post.

Am I reading this correctly? ... that if Gorst was sold under value, and had sold at your projected "real value," he would need to win the event to have a net positive, and finishing second would be a break-even proposition (within a few hundred dollars, I suppose, given that if he sold for more the total payouts would be slightly different).

What about DQH? Last match I saw him he was playing excellently, made maybe 2 mistakes the whole match and shot lights out the rest of it

Using base fargo ratings, a simulation of 100,000 events shows the following expected values vs. actual cost for the top 20 rated players:

View attachment 907166

Chohan (+23k), Gomez (+21k), Lunda (+12k), and Hall (+10k) were the most overpriced compared to their ratings, while Teutscher (-22k), Gorst (-18k), Garcia (-8k) and Magi (-7k) were the most underpriced.

If you give extra rating points to the players listed in this thread as specialists (50 for Chohan, Gomez, Hall, Lunda and 25 for Roberts, Compton), then the value matrix changes considerably.

Now there are only two five-figure discrepancies, for Teutscher (-15k) and Morra (+14k). So overall the Calcutta seems to have been priced pretty well if you believe those adjustments, which is what you'd expect for the kind of informed money flying around in this setting.

Holstein, we rescued it when he was 4, now a little over 5.
Sort of a funny name, we thought of changing his name but it grew on us.View attachment 907148View attachment 907149
