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.
