 "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 6 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 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 USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 21 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 jurisdiction per month: handle, gross revenue and hold percentage, each an observation sourced to that regulator's own report. This is the audited answer to the question the calculator only estimates - what the margin really costs a bettor over a month - and nobody has put it beside a de-vig tool. The derivation: hold by operator ranked across every state that reports by brand, the same operator's hold compared across jurisdictions, the trend since legalisation, and the gap between the vig computed from posted prices and the hold the operator actually realised, which is a figure this venture would be the first to publish",
