CON · 41.2%58.8% · CHI

- In games: out of 10 like this one, CHI would win 6 and CON 4.
Confidence
medium
- Research-stage model: shown as what it said before tip-off, not as an advantage.
- The model does not know this game's injuries or starting five.
Why
- The model looks at only two things: each team's accumulated season strength and home court.
- Home court is worth 4.6 probability points to CON.
- CHI comes in with the stronger accumulated season form: that moves 13.4 points toward CHI.
What weighs most
Home court+4.6 toward CON
Season strength+13.4 toward CHI
probability points
What could flip it
- The model does not read the injury report and has no players inside it: an absence would change the game without changing this number. There is no calculation saying by how much.
- What the model does not look at and this number does not capture: rest and travel, the day's injury report, the starting five and recent form.
Uncertainty
- The model gives a number, not a band: its reliability is measured by comparing forecasts with results, not by drawing a margin.
- It does not know injuries, rest, travel or the starting five: any of them can move this game without the number changing.
- For reference, the pre-tip market consensus gave CON 30.0%.

this game's error
- Expected: CHI at 58.8%.
- Actual: CON 87 – CHI 81. CON won.
- The model picked the wrong side.
- This game's error: 0.35 (0 = nailed it, 1 = worst possible; a 50% call would score 0.25).
- The market consensus (30.0% on the winner) also picked the wrong side.
- What we learn: on this game the model was closer to the result than the market consensus. One game is not a sample.

average deviation (ECE)
- Over 49 settled games with this model: it picked the right side 76% of the time and its average error (Brier) was 0.172. When it said X%, reality was on average 12 points away from that X%.
- On those same games, the market consensus had less error (0.169 versus 0.172): the model does not beat it, and we say so.
- 49 games is a small sample: these numbers still move a lot.
How it is measured and limits
Model
SportiveWorld's WNBA game model, research stage: it reads each team's accumulated season strength and home-court advantage. Shown as what it said before tip-off, not as an edge.
This is the preview saved before the game, not current data.
Sample · Measured against 49 settled games.
Injuries · Availability known before tip-off: an injury report existed and was read (it does not enter the number).
- · What you see is the preview sealed before the game, not a later recalculation.
- · 49 games is a small sample: these numbers still move a lot.
