How to Read World Cup Prediction Markets
An outright price of 18¢ on a team to win the World Cup means the market gives them roughly an 18% chance — and that the $1 contract trades for 18¢ today. If you sum the cent prices across all teams, the total clusters around 100¢ (small margins above come from order-book spreads).
Prediction markets typically beat consensus expert picks at major tournaments. Real-money traders react to injuries, lineups, and form within minutes; pundit lists update once a week.
