Odds shown are implied by the model's own probability, not quoted from a bookmaker. Markets missing from this list are ones the numbers did not clear the bar on.

The reasoning

On the match result the model has South Korea at 50 percent, with the draw at 30 percent. That is a lean, not a strong one, so the draw is a live outcome here. The model expects roughly 1.3 goals from South Korea and 0.8 from Ecuador, a combined 2.1, which is around the average for a competitive fixture. Two markets clear our bar on this fixture: South Korea or draw at 80 percent and South Korea (draw no bet) at 71 percent. The most likely exact scoreline is 1-0, though at 15.8 percent that is a long shot by the nature of the correct score market. It does not publish a pick on match result, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score here, which means the numbers did not clear the bar rather than that we forgot to look. A market with no pick is the model saying it sees no edge.
