Do betting trends actually beat their own baseline?

Situational trends replayed walk-forward against the matched baseline — each team's own rate over exactly the matches the trend fired on.

AFL18,29153.6%56.6%-2.9
NFL17,16856.5%59.6%-3

The answer measured here is no. Across all four codes, situational trends hit at or below the rate the same teams were already achieving over the same matches, so the apparent edge is the baseline, not a finding. The comparison is against each team's own rate — never 50%, never the league average — because a trend that fires mostly on good teams will look predictive against any other yardstick.
