Hi Product Hunt. I built WC26 Picks over the last 6 months.
It started with office World Cup pools, where everyone guesses scorelines and
the winner is mostly down to luck. This gives you the score most likely to win
you points in each match, and you can set your pool's exact scoring so every
pick suits your rules.
The honest bit: it's a real calibrated model (Dixon-Coles, Pi-rating, some ML),
but on test data it's about level with bookmaker odds, not better. It's open
source and I publish the accuracy numbers, so nothing's hidden.
Free preview covers Matchday 1. Full tournament is £7. Code-curious folks: the
repo's linked. Would love your feedback on the pool-scoring feature.
