Predictions

Forecasts across politics and sport, stated honestly: weighted averages, ranges from thousands of simulations, and the odds laid out so you can take the other side. Elections, the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, College Football, the Premier League, the Champions League and the EuroLeague are all live, and every call is scored afterwards against the price the market closed at.

The favourites

The two teams each model rates most likely to win the title, with the date that hub last ran.

Biggest movers

One team per league: the largest change in title odds over about a week. Each row shows the two dates it compares, because the hubs refresh on different days. The list is recalculated at every refresh, so a team is here only while it holds its league's biggest swing.

What this shows
Anyone can publish a probability, so this is the record: the probability bins showing whether seventy per cent has meant seventy per cent, and the seasons the model beat the market named one by one. Over twenty thousand priced games, the market is still ahead.

Where these numbers come from

Election numbers are this site's own aggregation model, rebuilt as new polls and fundamentals land. Every league hub below runs its own Monte Carlo simulation from that league's real remaining schedule, and states its own sim count, as-of date and sources on its own page. The Ledger scores every graded forecast on this page against the betting market that priced the same event - it is the one place all of them are held to the same standard.
