Where the season is heading
straight-line pace · ~11 rounds leftAt their current points pace, Lausanne Ouchy finish top with ~44 points, but the title race is open: Yverdon project within 5 points. The market's biggest argument is with Lausanne Ouchy: their results pace says ~44 points, the pace of their market prices (xPTS) says ~32 — one of them gives in.

Straight-line pace over each team's remaining scheduled fixtures — not a simulation. Market pace extrapolates xPTS (the points the market's prices expected so far) the same way. Split and playoff rounds count once they're scheduled.

Market strategies
flat stake · vs break-even — not betting adviceWhat blindly backing each market in every Challenge League match would have returned. Losing lines are the norm — that's the bookmaker margin at work.
