World Cup winner: 1.25%
Round of 16: 68.5%
Quarterfinals: 32.0%
Semifinals: 14.0%
Advancement odds jumped 18.5 points. Championship odds went down.
The counterintuitive number: Mexico title odds dropped from 1.35% to 1.25% during a perfect group stage run.
Advancement markets climbed. Round of 16 surged from 50% to 68.5%. Quarterfinals from 25.5% to 32%. But the winner market compressed as favorites consolidated.
Polymarket prices a 36% chance Mexico exits in the Round of 16 and 30.5% in the Round of 32. Championship probability: 0.75%.
