The 2026 World Cup Final Shifts the Focus to Extra Time and Penalties
Abstract
The 2026 World Cup final is transforming the sports betting market, shifting the focus from simply winning to more specific aspects of the game. Due to the teams' cautious approach, the probabilities of extra time, penalties, cards, corners, and individual performance are gaining importance. This complexity requires platforms to clearly differentiate between results in regulation time and the final, thus considering each possibility.
