Read this match in three steps

Probability is the common language. Venue prices are translated underneath so sportsbook and prediction-market users can compare the same idea.

  1. 1 · Most likely result

    Cardiff City

    37% means we estimate about 37 chances out of 100. It is not a guarantee.

    This is not a dollar amount. A 1-unit stake would return 3.75 units total if successful.

  3. 3 · Compare probability

    +1.1 percentage points

    Our estimate is 28%; the price implies 27%. A positive difference is a reason to investigate, not proof of profit.

Why the model and market differ

Market and model are independent views, not competing answers. Their difference is shown in percentage points (pp) and is a prompt to investigate assumptions or missing information.

Blackburn Roversmodel 37% · market 35% (model vs market +1.5pp)
Drawmodel 31% · market 27% (model vs market +4.5pp)
Cardiff Citymodel 32% · market 38% (model vs market −5.9pp)

Market = probability from the designated reference market after bookmaker margin is removed. Model = independent Dixon-Coles-adjusted simulation. The Quick read uses the separately labeled overall estimate, which combines these inputs.

Every market, every book, and how the price moved

For each market: the reference book’s price with its margin removed, the most favourable price we collected and where, the difference between them, and the price history over the last 72 hours. Prices move — check the venue before acting.

Each hour, the best price offered by any book quoting this outcome — 30–31 books across the window. Because the set of quoting books changes hour to hour, a step in the line can be a book arriving or leaving rather than a price moving; the movement figure above is measured on one book across two timestamps precisely to avoid that. Every hour in the window was collected. The no-vig reference is a separate calculation, from Pinnacle alone.

Exchange lay prices, outlier soft-book prices, and any price above a per-market sanity ceiling are excluded — they are not prices a customer can take, and including them would inflate every “best price” on this page. The ceiling is a blunt rule and will occasionally discard a genuine long price. A dash means that book did not quote that outcome in the latest collected set.

Questions

Who is most likely to win Blackburn Rovers vs Cardiff City?

Clauseground's combined estimate — a Dixon-Coles-adjusted model combined with a no-vig designated reference market — makes Cardiff City the most likely outcome at 37%. That is a probability, not a promise: the other outcomes carry the remaining 63%.

How does Clauseground predict Blackburn Rovers vs Cardiff City?

Clauseground uses an independent Poisson model with a Dixon-Coles low-score correction and removes the margin from a complete designated reference market. It shows the model and market views separately, then may calculate a market-specific combined estimate. Each probability retains its source label and timestamp.
