WLWWL
THE RULE, RUN BACK OVER SIX SEASONS

Most matches release nothing at all.

Only a win releases budget, and the less expected the win the more it releases. Draws and losses release zero — 72 of these 228 matches did. Averaged out:

19.7%

of the match budget, released per match on average.

A match budget is 10% of the treasury when that match settles. A share of budget, not a return, and no guarantee of future results. #39 across clubs with six complete seasons in these four leagues, 2020/21–2025/26.

Buyback released = (1 − the market's pre-match probability) on each win, averaged over every match; draws and losses release nothing and the budget stays in the treasury. Average closing odds, de-vigged. Domestic league matches only, no cups. The treasury never bought back against these historical matches.
