Same experience here. Outright winner markets took me a while to get comfortable with because odds shift a lot before the tournament even starts. Before placing anything, I check the
2026 world cup team to win odds to see where the main contenders sit right now. After that I look for value — teams where the price seems a bit high compared to their actual squad strength and recent form. Some teams get underrated early and their odds drop once the tournament gets closer. Getting in at a better price early is usually worth it rather than waiting until everyone else catches on
