Do not paste vague summaries. Do not ask the AI what to bet. Do not accept an answer that ignores exact wording, timing, resolution source, counterarguments, or No-Play discipline. The output is a mirror, not a verdict.
Gap analysis with public story, contract story, divergence, and slowdown note.
Headline Trap
1–2 and 8: title, exact wording, likely crowd mistake
Biden Debate Collapse
Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or your preferred AI tool. OddsXray gives the workflow; your AI tool does the writing and analysis.
Compare the public headline to the actual market contract. Headline/public story: [paste] Market title and wording: [paste] Tell me: 1. What the public story implies 2. What the contract actually resolves on 3. Where the two diverge 4. How a casual trader could overreact 5. Whether emotion is distorting interpretation 6. The one sentence warning label I should remember No trade recommendation. Diagnose the gap.
After the AI answers, force it into a final structure: exact contract read, main uncertainty, best counterargument, trap label, verification checklist, and whether Wait or No-Play is cleaner than forcing action.
Use this prompt alongside the worksheet so your market read stays attached to exact wording, resolver, timing, edge cases, crowd mistake, and a written decision note.
