Expected Closing

Expected CLV -2.0pp
Why

Panama has a closing edge of 32.86 percentage points and strong steam signals, with the model probability of 40.55% far exceeding the market's 7.69%. The sharp repricing suggests value in the home side. Main risk: Elo differential favors England, and the low volatility may limit upside.

Why

The home side's odds have shortened due to steam, but the away team (Sutherland Sharks) has a higher Elo rating and decent xG metrics. The market and model probabilities for the away side are nearly aligned, suggesting value in fading the home side. Main risk: Limited historical data on similar fixtures.

Why This Matters

Every bettor has a theory.

  • Follow the market.
  • Fade the market.
  • Trust only high-confidence picks.
  • Look for recurring patterns.

We track each approach publicly and measure the results over time.

The goal is simple:

Which ideas actually beat the market?

Example Betting Hypotheses

  • Following major market moves reveals useful information.
  • Betting against popular market sentiment creates value.
  • Fewer high-conviction bets outperform high-volume betting.
  • Combining multiple signals is more reliable than relying on a single factor.
  • Recurring market patterns can be identified and exploited over time.
  • Consensus opinions outperform individual opinions.

The Championship does not assume any of these ideas are true.

The purpose is to test them publicly.
