Expected Closing

Why

The match between Gold Coast Knights and Lions shows a positive historical CLV rate of 52% and a pattern similarity of 54.7%. However, the sharp repricing and closing edge of 5.67 percentage points are offset by the negative Elo and xG differentials for the draw. Main risk: The market's sharp movement may still indicate value, but the underlying metrics suggest a lower likelihood of a draw.

Expected CLV +0.2pp
Why

Avai has seen significant steam with odds drifting from 3.5 to 4.75, but the model probability of 12.37% is well below the market probability of 21.05%. This indicates an overheated market on Avai. Main risk: Botafogo SP's form and the low volatility in this match could still lead to a surprise result.

Why

Melbourne City II has been steamed with odds drifting from 1.83 to 2.35, but the model probability of 35.17% is below the market probability of 42.55%. The negative closing edge and low volatility suggest the market has overreacted. Main risk: Melbourne City II's potential quality despite the negative Elo differential.

Why

Ghana's odds have lengthened significantly from 6.25 to 8.5, but the model probability of 9.02% is still below the market probability of 11.76%. The market appears to have overreacted to the steam, and Colombia's Elo and xG advantage make them strong favorites. Main risk: Ghana's potential to outperform due to their historical pattern similarity.

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.
