If they were honest, they'd adopt betting pool terminology rather than rootin' tootin' highfalootin' econ terminology. Then they'd call it a point spread. Then it wouldn't be an "inverted yield curve" it would be a "negative point spread." Because that's what's being discussed here - the idea that long-term bets pay worse than short-term bets which is an inversion of the natural order.
