# Case study: adverse selection, caught on tape Switzerland–Colombia · a settled draw

The credibility keystone. In this settled game, a passive “underbid & hold” maker got filled on the two losers as they bled to zero and was skipped entirely on the winner (the draw) as it climbed away. You get filled exactly when you're wrong. That's why the real edge is in the entry — quoting into balanced flow — not holding to settlement.
