OmenX: Popular teams in the World Cup collectively lose points, the sports prediction market enters a risk management scenario

The World Cup group stage continues today, with several matches producing results that were unexpected in the pre-match market. Spain drew 0-0 with Cape Verde, Belgium drew 1-1 with Egypt, Uruguay drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia, and Iran drew 2-2 with New Zealand. Many teams that were considered likely to win before the matches failed to secure victories, leading to significant fluctuations in the related prediction markets.

Base's native leveraged prediction market OmenX indicates that as the World Cup schedule enters a dense phase, sports prediction markets are no longer just one-way bets on popular outcomes; in-match fluctuations, upset results, and position management are becoming important scenarios for user trading. For users who already hold high-probability positions on platforms like Polymarket, OmenX's leveraged prediction market can be used to open similar or opposite positions with smaller amounts of capital, allowing for hedging and risk management as uncertainty in the events rises.

OmenX data shows that in the past 24 hours, the trading volume in World Cup-related prediction markets approached $8 million, with single match outcomes, championship titles, and popular team-related markets being the main trading directions. As several popular outcomes failed to materialize, the demand for trading around position protection, in-match adjustments, and result repricing continues to rise.
