DataSnack's read
The Asian Cup delay turned a football market into a calendar test
The shift tests Saudi Arabia's hosting model ahead of the 2034 World Cup and shows how rules can outweigh form. The model's case rests on Indonesia near the floor at 4% and a daily jump that tends to partly reverse, giving 2%.
The numbers
- The market's number (Polymarket) now: 4% (the market)
- DataSnack's model, seven days from now: 2%
- The market closes: 6 Feb 2027
- How it resolves: This market will resolve according to the team that wins the 2027 AFC Asian Cup. If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed team to win the 2027 AFC Asian Cup per the rules of the AFC (e.g., they are eliminated), the corresponding market will resolve to "No". If the 2027 AFC Asian Cup is cancelled, postponed after February 19, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". The primary resolution source will be official information from the AFC; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
- Record: It has no graded forecasts yet; the first is graded on 17 Nov 2026.
- Replay on the last 51 days: off by 3.7 points against 3.8 points for standing still; closer on 16 of 51 days
- Fitted on 52 days of history
How the model works
After the postponement, the market's chance for Indonesia sits near the floor and tends to partly reverse its latest daily jump, so it stays near where it is.
- About -0.276 in log-odds of the latest day's move in the market's own chance carries into next week, and a negative value means it partly reverses. DataSnack's author expected -0.4 in log-odds; the data say -0.276 in log-odds ± 0.45, fitted on the same days the replay scores. A rough rule.
