Expected Closing

Expected CLV -1.9pp
Why

The market is showing sharp-led repricing with a positive historical CLV rate of 52%. The closing edge is minimal at 0.13pp, indicating a tight market alignment with the model's probability. The low volatility and high pattern similarity (60%) further support this bet. Main risk: The edge is marginal, and the match has already started, which could introduce unforeseen dynamics.

Why

The market is undergoing sharp repricing with a positive historical CLV rate of 52%. The closing edge is 2.12pp, which is within the acceptable range for a pattern replay. The league quality is high, and the pattern similarity is strong at 60%. Main risk: The elo difference is slightly negative, which could indicate a potential mismatch in team strengths.

Expected Closing

Why

The market is experiencing drift repricing with a significant closing edge of 5.05pp, which exceeds the acceptable threshold for a pattern replay. The historical CLV rate is positive at 52%, but the pattern similarity is only 55.9%, which is relatively weak. Main risk: The high closing edge suggests potential overreaction in the market, making this a fade candidate.

Why

The market has sharply drifted against IF Elfsborg, but the model probability for the away side is extremely low compared to the market. This suggests the market is overpricing Gais. Main risk: Gais could leverage home advantage and outperform their underlying metrics.

Why

Valentine has experienced a significant drift in odds, indicating a loss of market confidence. The model probability for Valentine is much lower than the market probability, and the closing edge is deeply negative. Despite this, the market may have overreacted to the drift. Main risk: Kahibah could capitalize on Valentine's poor form and outperform expectations.

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.
