Calibrated NBA forecasting

Game and season probabilities, scored against the closing line. The model does not carry market features, so it is measured against the market rather than trained on it — and it loses, by a known and published margin.

historical walk-forward; not a live published record — the closing line is better (paired bootstrap 0.00712, 95% CI [0.00573, 0.00849]), which is the expected result for a model that carries no market features. Why the market is the benchmark
