What are upsets? Maybe this is made for people that are into betting, which I am not.

So did I win most on the right side? Or what does the location on x axis mean?
And why are the points distributed within a year on the y-axis? is this arbitrary?

Upsets mean unexpected results, it is taken from the betting to measure how big was the surprise. For example, the winning bet on Saudi Arabia vs Argentina was 25.5 (which is a lot) so for each $100 you put on Saudi Arabia you would win $2550 meaning it is a big surprise

SmilgaNir OP t1_iyoxg6d wrote

If you bet 100 dollars you will ein an extra 20 dollars of you bet correctly. At least I think

Yeah, that is correct based on the actual matches. For me it would make more sense to depict them as 1.10, 1.20 and that stuff but I guess it's not a general consensus.

Seems to be (decimal odds - 1) then?

Cool vis, only criticism is that definition of 'winning bet'. Showing either decimal odds or even implied probs would be more intuitive. Also: I assume it is 1x2 odds and not draw no bet or anythinh?

Nice info - do you plan to update this to include the rest of the matches until and including the final?
