Expected Closing
4.14
Expected CLV +1.1pp
Why

Why

The draw market for Switzerland vs Colombia shows a significant negative closing edge (-14.78pp) and a sharp-led market state, indicating strong contrarian value in fading this outcome. Historical patterns do not support the draw either, with low similarity (45%). Main risk: Colombia's lower xG and elo ratings could lead to a more defensive approach, increasing the likelihood of a draw.

Why

The market has heavily steamed Tacoma Defiance, but the model probability (35.64%) is significantly below the market probability (42.55%), indicating an overreaction. The closing edge is negative (-6.91), and the Elo difference slightly favors Portland Timbers II. Main risk: Tacoma's xG advantage and low volatility could lead to a stable performance at home.

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.
