Sports market pulse
The market sees the same game. The model sees the path.
Polymarket and Kalshi odds on the World Cup run alongside the model as an independent benchmark. Where they agree, the signal is strong. Where they diverge, that gap is the story.
Prediction-market data is shown as a benchmark only. Model and market are updated on independent cadences.
Methodology after the signal
Two sports desks. One standard.
World Cup and NHL share the same Monte Carlo pipeline: outcomes are simulated 50,000 times per run, conditioned on real results as the tournament unfolds.
- World Cup 2026: 48 teams, 50,000 simulations conditioned on real results (FIFA rankings, recent form, home advantage), updated after every match through the final.
- NHL Cup Path: 50,000 simulations per playoff round, updated after each series result. Goalie volatility layer conditions on recent save percentage and injury status.
- Track record is public: every published model run and series call is archived and verifiable.
- Model outputs are available as public JSON at each desk, updated on a rolling basis.
