Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The model rates Shamrock Rovers considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: Shamrock Rovers +15.6 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Shamrock Rovers 66.7% 51.1% +15.6 pp Model Edge
Draw 21.9% 28.2% -6.3 pp Market Higher
Derry City 11.4% 20.7% -9.3 pp Market Higher

The statistical model estimates Shamrock Rovers's win probability at 66.7%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 51.1%, a difference of 15.6 percentage points. This highlights a substantial disagreement between the model's assessment and the market consensus, rather than indicating which view is ultimately correct.

Model probabilities are generated from the statistical xG model using a Poisson distribution. Closing market probabilities are derived from consensus closing 1X2 odds after margin removal. Values represent implied probabilities rather than betting recommendations. Closing snapshot: PRE1.

After full time, the result was Draw 1–1.

Market Assessment

The statistical fair estimate is materially higher than the market on Shamrock Rovers.

  • The model may see a slower-scoring or closer matchup than the market.
  • Monitor line movement before kickoff — not a betting recommendation.

Review FAQ

How accurate was the prediction?
This page grades directional markets (1X2, Over/Under 2.5, BTTS) against the full-time result. The prediction grade reflects how many of those tracked markets matched reality.
What does xG Accuracy measure?
xG Accuracy compares the model's pre-match expected-goals profile to the actual scoreline — not whether every market hit. A strong directional review can coexist with a moderate xG accuracy score.
Why wasn't the exact score predicted?
Correct-score outcomes are low-probability tails even when the model reads the match profile well. We highlight top score bins for context; missing the exact line does not invalidate a directional review.
Does this improve the AI record?
Each finished match is logged in our validation pipeline. Aggregated hit rates and CLV studies are published separately — this page is the per-match audit trail.

AI match briefing

AI Match Summary

Below is a compact, numbers-first snapshot aligned with the same engine as the cards above.

  • League: Premier Division
  • Fixture: Shamrock Rovers vs Derry City
  • Kickoff: 2026-06-22 19:00:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 66.7% · Draw 21.9% · Away 11.4%
  • xG (showing): Shamrock Rovers 2.23 — Derry City 0.67 (total xG ≈ 2.9)
  • Primary / headline line (Betting Primary Pick when shown): Shamrock Rovers
  • Model: 66.7% · Implied: 51.1% · Probability edge: +15.6 pts · Est. EV: +9.5%
  • BTTS (model): Yes 44.6% · No 55.4%
  • Correct score (top bin): 2-0 (13.7%)

Where EV is shown, it is estimated return per unit stake at the best tracked decimal price — not the same thing as a raw probability gap.

Correct score remains high-variance even when a line is most likely on paper.

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Monitor

Outcome: Missed — Pre-match 1X2 lean did not match the full-time result.

Risk Factors Considered Before Kickoff

  • Price movement: implied probabilities and EV move with odds.
  • Sample / data gaps: low-information leagues widen forecast bands.
  • In-play state: goals and red cards are not modelled here.
  • Scoreline variance: the most likely scoreline is still usually a low absolute probability outcome (often well below 20%).
