Every figure, with its source

One row per published figure: the figure as the source's own page publishes it, the page, and the day it was read. A figure that is not on a page we read is not on this one.

Read in full, publishes no figure

23 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

2 of the 25 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 23 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 9 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 99 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per operator per market type: the explicit fee where the operator publishes one (Polymarket's taker and maker table, Kalshi's fee formula, an exchange's commission percentage, PredictIt's profit and withdrawal fees) and - for every sportsbook, none of which publishes a margin - the OVERROUND computed from that operator's own posted prices on identical markets, which is the only way the number exists at all.

The derivation nobody publishes: the vig by operator, sport and market type side by side with the fee, restated as one comparable cost of taking a position, and the fair no-vig probability our calculator returns beside the operator's implied one; plus the measured share of operators that publish any cost figure at all, which this harvest already answers - of the operators read, the CFTC-regulated venues and the exchanges publish a fee schedule and not one traditional sportsbook publishes a margin

99 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
