How the World Cup edge works
Consensus, closing line, then the play
Pre-tournament, this page is the live data hub: real group tables, FIFA rankings, and the full fixture schedule, straight from the feed.
Once the betting market posts prices for these matches, the engine reads the consensus line and tracks how it moves from open to close. CLV, the difference between the price we lock and the de-vigged close, is the metric we grade on, the same way the rest of the slate is graded.
We do not post a World Cup pick until there is a priced market to grade it against. No invented numbers, no picks without a market. When the lines are up, the plays land at /picks.
