3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Hull City AFC vs. Everton FC: O/U 2.5 — the market puts it at 48%, with $10k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 11 Oct 2026. The Over outcome requires Hull City and Everton to score three or more goals combined during regular play and stoppage time. The Under outcome applies if their total is two goals or fewer. Readers often mistake the linked news story about ownership changes as relevant, but only the match goal count matters.
  • Everton — the market puts it at 1%, closing 13 Jun 2027. Everton wins if they finish first in the 2026-27 English Premier League season. They lose if any other team finishes first. Readers often mistake the linked story about a potential sale as relevant to the resolution, but only the final league standings matter.
  • Everton — the market puts it at 45%, with $3 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 14 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Everton finishes in the top half of the Premier League table during the 2026-27 season. It resolves to No if they finish in the bottom half. Readers often mistake the final league position for a specific match result or confuse the 2026-27 season with other campaigns.
