3 prediction markets price this story:

  • England advances — resolved “Yes” on 13 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if England advances past Greece in their FIFA World Cup Qualifiers tie. It resolves to No if they do not advance. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of the first leg, but the outcome depends on the aggregate result of both legs.
  • Will Greece win on 2026-10-13? — resolved “No” on 13 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Greece wins the match scheduled for October 13, 2026, based on the result within the first 90 minutes of regular play plus stoppage time. It resolves to No if the game is canceled without a make-up match or if Greece does not win. Readers often mistake the final aggregate score or extra time results as the deciding factor, but only the outcome at the end of regular time counts.
  • Reg Time: Tie — resolved “No” on 13 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the England versus Greece match ends in a tie after 90 minutes of regular play, including stoppage time. It resolves to No if either team wins or if the game does not take place as scheduled. Readers often mistake the final result after extra time or penalties for the official outcome.
