No stops: a drawdown stop, a losing-weeks stop, a per-season cap, one leg per game and a cap on live exposure are not fields of lab.strategy/1, so the engine cannot apply them and none is offered.

Bet the under on every player prop market, the main line, priced at the close at the consensus of draftkings, fanduel, betmgm, de-vigged multiplicatively, paid at each book's posted juice, −110 where none is posted, over 1999–2024, regular-season weeks 1–18; 2025 is held out.

Staked 1 unit a bet, flat. Limits: 1 a player a week. A push is refunded; a player with no snap voids the bet. Judged on 2,000 resamples of whole weeks and 1,000 random rules of the same size.

Before anything runs

Not estimable yet

No replayed rule matches this one, so no result and no count is shown. Nothing runs from this page: the engine has replayed the 0 rules in the library, and a rule built here is compared with those, field by field.

Running a new rule on request is not built. When it is, the spec above is what it will be handed.

This rule’s address

Every control is in the address, so the link is the rule. Nothing is saved on this site.

Describe a rule in words Not connected yet

When it is connected, it will turn a sentence into a rule you can read and edit before anything runs. Today nothing typed here is read: build the rule with the controls instead.

4 rules replayed on this site so far. The more rules are tried, the more likely one clears zero by chance alone: with 4 tried, a 95% interval that allows for it spans about ±2.50 standard errors (Bonferroni), not ±1.96. The intervals on this page are the plain 95%.

The rule’s file, lab/nfl/presets/rush_attempts_unders.json, did not load. Nothing from it is shown.

Data format changed

This page can't read its data file.

lab/nfl/presets/rush_attempts_unders.json was published in a format this version of the site does not understand, so nothing from it is shown rather than something wrong.
