Game by game

Markets price two June 16 fixtures with distinct profiles. France-Senegal (19:00 UTC kickoff) carries a "Tight Consensus" archetype with platform spread of 1.96pp, while Iraq-Norway (22:00 UTC) shows "Quiet Edge" at 2.1pp separation. Polymarket prices France home at 65.83% and Norway away at 81.09%. Kalshi tracks closely: 65.17% France, 80.90% Norway. Sportsbook consensus sits at 63.87% for France and 78.995% for Norway across 9 books each. Blended probabilities settle at 64.96% France home and 80.33% Norway away.

Nine sportsbooks cluster tightly on France-Senegal. Betfair leads at 65.3% France home, while BetMGM anchors the low end at 62.9%—a 2.4pp range. FanDuel posts 64.7%, Pinnacle 64.5%, DraftKings 63.4%. The draw trades between 21.1% (Pinnacle) and 21.9% (William Hill US, Fanatics). Senegal away prices span 13.1% (Betfair) to 15.7% (BetMGM). Derivative markets show the -1 France spread averaging 54.8% across 2 books (Pinnacle 54.1%, Bovada 55.6%), while the 2.5 total line attracts 54.1% average pricing across 4 books.

Betfair posts 81% on Norway away—the fixture's highest sportsbook quote and 2.005pp above the 78.995% consensus. William Hill sits at the opposite end: 76.7% Norway, offering 7.4% Iraq home and 16% draw. FanDuel and Betfair both price Iraq home below 6.5% (6.3% and 5.9% respectively), while BetMGM and Bovada sit near 8% (7.6% and 7.9%). The 1.75 Iraq spread line averages 49.4% across Pinnacle (48.8%) and Bovada (50%). Total market depth thins: 2 books price the 3.0 line at 47.7% average.

Platform spreads remain sub-2.5pp on both fixtures. France-Senegal's 1.96pp gap reflects tighter alignment between Polymarket (65.83%) and the 63.87% sportsbook consensus. Iraq-Norway's 2.1pp spread shows Polymarket (81.09%) leading both Kalshi (80.90%) and the books consensus (78.995%). Derivative line coverage favors France-Senegal: 4 books quote the 2.5 total versus 2 on Iraq-Norway's 3.0. Spread market depth matches at 2 books each, with France-Senegal's -1 line drawing 54.8% average price and Iraq-Norway's 1.75 Iraq spread at 49.4%.



Methodology footnote

Six archetypes from the Tater playbook: Unanimous (<1pp platform spread), Tight Consensus (1–2pp), Quiet Edge (2–4pp), Camp Split (PMs and books disagree as groups), Lone Voice / Lone Hawk (one platform/book against the field). Sportsbook probabilities are de-vigged (proportional 3-way normalization). Prediction-market prices are traded order-book prices, treated as vig-free.
