Expected CLV +1.5pp
Why

Qingdao Jonoon has a strong steam signal and a significant closing edge (+28.97). The model probability (46.36%) is much higher than the market probability (17.39%), and the xG difference (+0.36) suggests potential value. Main risk: Negative elo difference indicates potential team weakness.

Dandenong Thunder has a strong model probability (40.42%) compared to market probability (12.5%), with a substantial closing edge (+27.92). The sharp-led signal and low volatility further support this pick. Main risk: Negative elo and xG differences may indicate weaker team performance.

Entry 86d ago
4.20
→
Expected Closing
4.03
Expected CLV +1.0pp
Why

The market is undergoing sharp repricing, and the steam score is high at 43, indicating significant market activity. However, the closing edge is only 5.67pp, which is below the 8pp threshold, and the historical CLV is slightly positive at 52%. The main risk is that the sharp-led movement could indicate genuine market sentiment, but the low edge and historical pattern suggest a contrarian fade. Main risk: Line may move against the entry after posting.

Expected Closing
2.85
Expected CLV +1.8pp
Why

The sharp-led market movement and negative closing edge (-3.7pp) suggest overreaction, especially with a significant drop in odds from 3.2 to 3.0. Historical CLV is neutral at 52%, and pattern similarity is relatively low at 46.6%. Main risk: The sharp money could still be correct, but the negative edge and market overreaction justify a fade.

1 Botafogo SP vs Avai Serie B 2026-07-05 FADE Valuation disagreement Botafogo SP Win 4.75 1.90 +31.6pp 75 ⚠️

⚠️ Major Price Change
⚠️ Major Price Change
Entry 86d ago

→
Expected Closing
1.90
Expected CLV +31.6pp
Why

The market has heavily steamed Avai, pushing their odds significantly higher. However, the model probability for Avai is much lower than the market's, and the closing edge is deeply negative. This suggests the market may have overreacted to the initial steam. Fading the home side, Botafogo SP, aligns with the contrarian approach. Main risk: Botafogo SP's stronger xG and elo advantage could still dominate.

Expected Closing

Expected CLV +7.5pp
Why

Irtysh has seen strong steam, but the model probability is close to the market's, and the closing edge is slightly negative. This indicates limited value in the steam move. Fading the home side, Kaisar, leverages the contrarian angle. Main risk: Kaisar's home advantage and slightly better elo rating could prevail.

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.
