Dixon-Coles Poisson · 50,000 Monte Carlo simulations · Power rankings, group-stage probabilities, and fixture odds for all 48 teams

Project Status

Built

  • World Cup 2026 model live: Dixon-Coles Poisson + Elo blend, 50,000 Monte Carlo simulations across all 48 teams and the full bracket — power rankings, group-stage qualify probabilities, and fixture odds
  • Golf V2 live: true 5-event rolling SG, real Pinnacle closing odds pipeline, weight-optimised via logistic regression on 14k player-events — 77% CLV rate across 31 selections
  • Golf V2: blend reduced from 60/40 to 90/10 VF/DG after grid search showed DG was suppressing alpha; sg_t2g replaces sg_app as primary ball-striking signal
  • Golf V2: full historical backtest (2020–2025, 135 events, train/validate split) with real Pinnacle odds and settled outcomes
  • Football model: Poisson xG framework, full label and conviction scoring — 100% CLV rate across 5 selections (season complete, resumes Aug 2026)
  • Golf pipeline fully automated end-to-end: Monday data refresh, Tuesday field fetch + model run, Thursday closing odds, and Sunday results all run hands-free via GitHub Actions
  • Pipeline health dashboard live at /status — real-time step tiles, error tracking, and week-status for both models
  • Both models publish weekly to Substack; dual-sport web app live on Vercel
