2026 World Cup · prediction markets
The model's board, scored against the price.
A statistical model forecasts every World Cup market, pre-committed and timestamped against the live prediction markets — then graded the way desks do: Closing-Line Value (did the price drift toward the model?) and calibration, as games resolve. Model vs market; the gaps are the calls.
Title race
Model champion probability vs the market, top of the field.
● model ● market · the gap is the disagreement

Model vs market across all markets. Sort any column, filter by market, search a team. Edge = model − market. CLV = how far the price has since moved toward the model.

Closing-Line Value. Share of forecasts the market has since drifted toward — a skill signal independent of who eventually wins.
Early sample. CLV is conclusive only over a few hundred forecasts, and these are correlated across markets — treat it as a signal forming, not a verdict.
