Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The closing market prices York higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: York -13.3 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
York 43.2% 56.5% -13.3 pp Market Higher
Draw 25.4% 22.3% +3.1 pp Aligned
Gillingham 31.4% 21.2% +10.2 pp Model Edge

The closing market estimates York's win probability at 56.5%, compared with the model's estimate of 43.2%, a difference of 13.3 percentage points. This highlights a disagreement between the model and market consensus, without 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: PRE5.

After full time, the model's directional lean matched the result (York win 3–0).

Market Assessment

The market is materially more optimistic about York than the current fair estimate.

  • Investors may be incorporating information not fully reflected in the baseline model.
  • Tournament-specific context can shift market pricing.

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Expected goals projected a high-scoring match (ΣxG 3.30) — 3 goals materialised
  • Over 2.5 goals aligned with the xG profile

What failed

  • Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS Yes; match finished BTTS No
  • Exact score: outside the model's top score bins

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced York higher (56.5% vs model 43.2%, 13.3 pp), but the model's lean was validated (York win 3–0).

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.

Predictions are for informational purposes only. Always gamble responsibly and within your limits. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

AI match briefing

AI Match Summary

Quick read on how the model reads this matchup.

  • League: League Two
  • Fixture: York vs Gillingham
  • Kickoff: 2026-09-26 14:00:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 43.1% · Draw 25.4% · Away 31.5%
  • xG (showing): York 1.79 — Gillingham 1.51 (total xG ≈ 3.3)
  • Best +EV line (same label as hero card when Primary thresholds are not met): BTTS Yes
  • Model: 66.2% · Implied: 56.8% · Probability edge: +9.5 pts · Est. EV: +12.5%
  • BTTS (model): Yes 66.2% · No 33.8%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (10.0%)

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.

Early match state can move realised goals away from pre-kick projections.

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Monitor

Outcome: Validated — Pre-match lean validated against 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%).
