Resolution accuracy

Every settled market gets scored against the price the market was charging an hour before resolution. We publish the receipts: how often the favorite won, how confident the markets were, and which platforms call it best.

Events scored

338,222

Settled markets with a usable pre-settlement snapshot.

Favorite hit rate

59.4%

How often the pre-settlement favorite was the actual winner.

Brier score

0.2089

Mean squared probability error. Lower is more accurate. 0.25 is a coin flip.

Calibration

Markets that priced an outcome inside each 10pp band — how often did it actually happen? In-line means the observed rate landed inside the bucket (well calibrated).

By platform

How each platform’s pre-settlement pricing held up against the actual results, counted only on markets that at least two platforms priced. Scored against a whole book this would measure which categories a venue lists rather than how well it prices them — crypto resolves close to a coin flip and dominates some books entirely.

How we score this

  • Corpus: Settled markets with both a settlement timestamp and a winning outcome. Voided and canceled markets are excluded.
  • Snapshot: For each market we read the price an hour before settlement. The one-hour buffer keeps the settlement spike — where the eventual winner pre-prints to near 1.0 in the final minutes — out of the scoring. This instant is relative to settlement, not to kickoff: for a sports fixture it usually lands after the game has been played, while the venue is still waiting to resolve. Read these figures as a record of how markets priced outcomes, not as a forecast you could have placed a bet on.
  • Favorite: The outcome with the highest cross-platform consensus price at snapshot time. Ties broken by stable canonical id. The "favorite hit rate" is the share of markets where the favorite was the actual winner.
  • Brier score: Per market, the mean squared distance between the snapshot probability and the realized result (1 for the winner, 0 for losers). Overall Brier is the mean across markets. 0.0 is perfect; 0.25 is a coin flip on a binary market. Each market’s prices are normalized to sum to 1 before scoring: venues quote different things — an executable ask on some, a book midpoint on others — so scoring the raw quote would grade a venue on its pricing convention rather than its judgement. Markets where an outcome went unquoted carry no Brier, because a partial book cannot be normalized.
  • Per-platform: Each platform is scored against its own pricing, normalized the same way, and only on markets where it had an opinion on the eventual winning outcome — so neither coverage gaps nor a venue’s quoting convention penalize accuracy. The comparison counts only markets at least two platforms priced: measured across a whole book it would rank which categories a venue lists rather than how well it prices them, since some question types resolve close to a coin flip and make up most of some books. Platforms with few contested markets are published but marked provisional rather than hidden.
  • Calibration: Each canonical outcome’s normalized probability is binned into one of ten 10pp-wide buckets. For each bucket we publish the observed hit rate — the share of outcomes in that bucket that actually won — measured against the average probability the bucket predicted rather than the bucket’s midpoint, since predictions do not sit at the middle of their bin. A well-calibrated market lands on what it predicted; persistent skew up or down points at systematic over- or under-confidence.
