Why

Bate Borisov demonstrates strong steam signals with a high move percentage (52.4%) and sharp repricing.

Why

FC Miami City shows strong steam signals and sharp repricing, with a closing edge of 14.45 percentage points. However, the odds drift upward significantly, suggesting potential overreaction in the market. Main risk: The home team's low market probability and limited historical CLV patterns could indicate weak underlying value.

Expected Closing

Expected CLV +1.1pp
Why

FC Miami City has seen a significant steam move with a 27.4% odds shift and a strong closing edge of 14.45 percentage points. The market is sharply repricing, and the model probability (37.54%) is notably higher than the market probability (23.09%), indicating value. Main risk: The historical pattern similarity is low, which may limit confidence in the predictive value of the steam.

The New Saints have experienced a massive 42.9% odds move, with a substantial closing edge of 22.39 percentage points.

Entry 84d ago

→
Expected Closing

Expected CLV +3.2pp
Why

Weston Bears have a negative closing edge of -10.75 percentage points, and the model probability (41.88%) is lower than the market probability (52.63%). The steam signal is weak, and the team shows negative metrics in both Elo and xG differences. Main risk: Market steam could still reflect insider information, but the fundamentals do not support the move.

Expected Closing

Why

The draw in the Gold Coast Knights vs Lions match has a weak steam signal with a small odds move (12.5%) and a moderate closing edge of 7.26 percentage points. However, the pattern similarity is low, and the draw is inherently a low-probability outcome. Main risk: Draws are inherently volatile, and the market may have identified a genuine opportunity.

Why

The market has heavily steamed Weston Bears, but the model probability (41.88%) is significantly below the market probability (52.63%), indicating overpricing. Additionally, the closing edge is deeply negative (-10.75), and the Elo and xG differences favor Charlestown City Blues. Main risk: Charlestown's recent form may not justify the fade.

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.
