Crowd accuracy

How often is the crowd right?

The players’ favourite won 54% of the time, across 276 scored settled markets.

Updated . Players only: internal and test accounts are excluded, and a market counts only once at least 5 players have predicted on it. A market’s favourite is the outcome that led on both player tokens and number of players when it settled, counting predictions made while the event was under way. Rates are shown only for rows with at least 5 markets. Full methodology.
