I created a market on Predyx for a new world champ and my argument for it is Portugal.
They're not a dark horse, but true contenders, let me show.
Cristiano Ronaldo run in the national team has been a success, overtook the Eusébio squad in the 60's, but CR7 is just a bonus at this point.
Offense B+
- Proven quality and if CR7 comes off the bench you can get 30' a game of almost prime Ronaldo
Midfield A++
- I challenge you to find a better one
Defense B-
- Amazing fullbacks but questions on center back
GK C-
- The only "issue"
Coach A-
- In club football not a reference, but as Nation level it shown great things
And how did they perform in the last Trophy run against the favorite France
If a new country is winning the world Cup I'm going all in on PORTUGAL
If Iran won, would be a chef’s kiss
Iran winning is paying 500/1
I’d love for Portugal to win, but it’s a long shot, honestly, it’s a long shot for any team. I haven’t checked the odds, but you might be able to lock in a 'risk-free win' by betting 'no' on the 'will a new nation win the World Cup' market and putting money on Portugal to lift the trophy. Can you hit me with the odds for both?
Portugal's current odds to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup are 11/1
But the no is favourite in all the new champ markets
What are the decimal odds for 'No' on the 'will a new nation win the World Cup' market?
Dutching Calculator
The plan is to clear 69.23€ every time, as long as Portugal or one of the 8 in 'will a new nation win the World Cup' market.
1.47 at this stage but in the prediction market you won't be able to size it at this liquidity balance
I already figured liquidity would be an issue. You just gotta bet according to whatever liquidity is there!
On bet Play is 1.30 but is fixed odds your hedge would need $207 staked

Not Canada?
Seems pretty compelling.
Canada will win in hospitality I'm sure about that 🫂
I honestly think they have a shot, i bought some shares on the new champ
I am supporting Portugal too..
Don't get me wrong I'm rooting for Brasil, that i see in the "same level"
