Entry 73d ago
3.75
→
Expected Closing
3.71
Expected CLV +0.3pp
Why

The market is undergoing sharp repricing with a slight positive closing edge (2.81pp). However, the historical pattern's CLV rate is only marginally positive (52%), and the pattern similarity is moderate (60%). The main risk is that the sharp-led signal might indicate a genuine market adjustment, but the edge is too small to justify a bet. Main risk: Line may move against the entry after posting.

Expected Closing

Expected CLV +2.6pp
Why

The model shows a decent edge (5.15pp), but the historical pattern similarity is only moderate (55.7%), and the CLV rate is not strongly supportive (52%). The market state indicates the model is leading, but the lack of market movement and low steam score suggest limited confidence. Main risk: The model's edge may materialize, but the historical pattern is not strong enough to support a bet.

Entry 73d ago

Expected Closing
4.72
Expected CLV +0.1pp
Why

The sharp-led signal and significant negative closing edge (-7.26pp) suggest the market is strongly against the draw. The historical pattern's CLV rate (52%) and low pattern similarity (45%) further weaken the case for a bet. Main risk: The sharp-led signal could be overreacting, but the strong negative edge makes the draw a fade.

Expected CLV +0.0pp
Why

Clarence Zebras II has experienced a strong drift, with odds increasing from 2.9 to 3.6. The market probability (27.78%) is still higher than the model probability (23.31%), indicating a potential overestimation of their chances. Main risk: Clarence Zebras II has a significant Elo advantage of 266.9.

Why

Vila Nova's odds have drifted from 5.25 to 6.25, and the market probability (16.0%) is still higher than the model probability (11.85%). This suggests the market may still be overestimating their chances. Main risk: Vila Nova has a strong Elo advantage of 77.8 and a significant xG difference of 1.59.

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.
