Built a live tracker for all 312 Polymarket FIFA World Cup 2026 markets with farmer-filter and smart-money divergence flagging. Sharing methodology + 5 specific divergences right now, looking for community feedback on edge cases.

\*\*How we classify "smart money":\*\*

A wallet enters our smart pool only if it passes 4 checks: 12-month positive P&L, ≥50 resolved markets, no airdrop-farmer flag (avg buy price <0.95 — excludes decimal arbitrage), and clean of wash-trade/self-match patterns. About 1,847 wallets currently qualify out of \~1.3M indexed traders. Full methodology open, no black box.

\*\*5 biggest crowd-vs-smart divergences right now (kick-off in \~36h):\*\*

1. \*\*England to win Group L\*\* — Crowd 75%, Smart 54% (21pp gap)

2. \*\*USA to win Group D\*\* — Crowd 80%, Smart 66% (14pp gap)

3. \*\*Brazil to win the World Cup\*\* — Crowd 31%, Smart 19% (12pp gap)

4. \*\*Norway to win Group I\*\* — Crowd 71%, Smart 60% (11pp gap, est.)

5. \*\*France to win the World Cup\*\* — Crowd 16%, Smart 24% (8pp gap, smart-bullish reverse)

The first four: smart pool more bearish than the crowd on heavy favorites. The France one is the opposite — smart is more bullish at 24% vs crowd 16%. That's the most interesting outlier to me — anyone here have a read on why sharps would be bullish France vs market consensus?

\*\*Counter-question to the community:\*\* which of these divergences do you think reflects real edge vs which are just noise? Especially curious about the England Group L gap — 21pp is huge and the group structure (England + Croatia + Ghana + Panama) looks like a clear walkover on paper. What's smart money seeing that I'm missing?

\*\*Caveat:\*\* we're a Business Intelligence tool, not a betting platform. We don't accept bets, no commission on trades. Numbers refresh every 5 minutes; live trades feed every 60 seconds.
