Where the crowd split from the market

Market depth: deep

Crowd
-18 ppts

The crowd was less confident in Brentford than the betting price implied. That gap is the interesting part of this poll, and it went against the result.

The market price is a yardstick, not a recommendation. The crowd’s read is sentiment, not a prediction or financial advice.

What the crowd was thinking

Scenario 1Crowd’s pick
42%274 voters
Brentford

The crowd's plurality vision: Brentford take the home win, but with far less certainty than the market assigned to that outcome.

Scenario 2
39%251 voters
Sunderland

A striking crowd lean: Sunderland leave with the points, a scenario the crowd rated nearly as likely as a Brentford win but the market priced as a long shot.

Scenario 3Came true
19%124 voters
Tie

The crowd's least-backed vision: both sides cancel each other out and share the spoils, a scenario neither crowd nor market gave much weight to.

Ballots correct
124 of 649

Ballots whose pick matched the result. Computed from the crowd’s own vote split — no betting market involved.

Crowd sentiment is shown only after a poll closes, never mid-vote. “Crowd called it” means the crowd’s top pick matched the result; it is not a claim the crowd is right in general. Aggregate data from World ID voters — a crowd view, not a prediction or advice.
