Data source: public prediction markets (Polymarket), all markets settled. Peak implied probability = the option’s highest implied probability before settlement; volume reflects market attention. This table is for tournament-interest and sentiment analysis only and does not constitute any recommendation.
How the Money Was Distributed
The money split across the outcomes as follows: the Roma side absorbed 123,544 USDC (about 95.8%); the AC Milan side took 5,467 USDC (about 4.2%). Two things matter when reading this table: volume measures how much money is expressing a view, not who is more likely to win; peak probability is the market’s actual verdict, but it only holds at a single moment before settlement and cannot be treated as a season-long consensus. Combine the two, set them against the final result, and the market’s bias comes into focus.
Where the Market Went Right
The market did not misjudge this one: Roma soaked up 123,544 of the volume — 96% of the match total — and the outcome duly arrived. But “delivered” is not the same as “boring”. When money tilts to one side at this level of concentration, the real information sits on the other side of the book: someone was still willing to take the low-probability side, meaning disagreement had not vanished — it had merely been flattened by the price. The value of recapping these one-sided markets lies in calibrating our baseline expectations for mismatched fixtures.
