Expected Closing
4.89
Expected CLV +2.3pp
Why

Halmstad shows significant model value with a closing edge of 40.02 and strong drift signals. Despite a low steam score, the model probability of 58.2% far exceeds the market probability of 18.18%. Main risk: Elo difference favors BK Hacken, indicating potential underestimation of their strength.

Expected CLV -8.5pp
Why

KI Klaksvik has seen a significant drift in odds from 1.85 to 2.25, indicating a loss of market confidence. The model probability (34.24%) is significantly lower than the market probability (44.44%), resulting in a negative edge of -10.2 percentage points. Despite a strong drift signal and a notable Elo advantage, the market's repricing suggests skepticism about their chances. Main risk: KI Klaksvik's Elo advantage could still translate into a win despite the market drift.

Houston Dash W has seen strong steam with odds shortening from 3.58 to 2.72, but the model probability (31.03%) is below the market probability (36.76%), resulting in a negative edge of -5.73 percentage points. The sharp repricing and low league quality further suggest an overreaction. Main risk: Houston Dash W's slight Elo and xG advantages could still make them competitive.

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.
