No model Always take the best number — the same bet, at a bigger price. Across the sportsbooks we track, the top-paying book on a given selection beats the field median — this board ranks today's World Cup sides by how much bigger that best price is. No model, no projection: just the best available price on the exact same wager. “pp cheaper” = implied-probability points the best price shaves off the median. “Price improv. vs median” = extra expected return per $1 from taking the best number instead of the median one, against the no-vig consensus. It shrinks the bookmaker's vig; it is not the bet's expected value. “EV at best” = the bet's actual expected value at that best price. Shopping reduces vig, it does not by itself beat the market, so this number is often still negative after taking the best price — we publish it exactly as measured. DFS / exchange books and stale, mismatched quotes are filtered out.
