Pre-Match: Turkiye Heavily Favored
Markets opened with Turkiye as the clear favorite at 56.78%, while Australia sat at just 17.59% — a classic underdog setup. The draw carried 25.63% probability. This wasn't a coin-flip game: the market priced Turkiye as nearly three times more likely to win than the Socceroos. The favorite probability of 56.47% signaled conviction, not hedging. Australia's path to victory looked narrow at kickoff.
The Collapse
By final whistle, the market had flipped violently. Australia surged 80.44 percentage points to close at 98.03%, while Turkiye cratered from 56.78% to just 0.99%. The draw evaporated from 25.63% to 0.99%. This wasn't gradual recalibration — it was a total inversion. The Unanimous archetype confirms every signal pointed the same direction: Australia dominated, and the market moved in lockstep to reflect it.
Market Accuracy: Wrong Call, Right Response
The market got the winner wrong (market_correct: false), but its real-time response was decisive. The 81.8 surprise index ranks this among the tournament's most shocking results — a true outlier. Pre-match probabilities suggested Turkiye would control the game; instead, Australia delivered a performance that left no doubt. The 250-sample tape captured a market learning in real time, moving from skepticism to certainty as the underdog seized control.
| Game | Favorite (close) | Result | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Australia vs Turkiye | Turkiye 56.5% | Australia | ✗ surprise (index 81.8) |
