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
