  • Model lean (not a default bet): Over 2.5
  • Model lean (not a default bet): BTTS Yes

How to use this
  • Focus on the Primary line when you want one actionable idea.
  • Do not parlay many thin-edge picks together; edges do not add reliably.
  • Treat longshots as optional, high-stake-sizing plays only.
