So funktioniert die Live-Wahrscheinlichkeit. Die veröffentlichte Vorab-Prognose wird beim Aufstellungs-Lock (T-1h) eingefroren und ändert sich nach Anpfiff nicht mehr; der Rückblick nach Abpfiff bewertet diese eingefrorene Zahl am Ergebnis. Die während des Spiels gezeigte Live-Siegwahrscheinlichkeit ist dasselbe Modell, neu ausgelesen anhand von Spielstand und Restzeit. Sie aktualisiert sich etwa einmal pro Minute, ist immer verzögert und ist eine beschreibende Forschungsgröße, kein Wettprodukt und kein Preis irgendeiner Art. Siehe /docs/methodology/ für die vollständige Einordnung.
