How is OPS calculated?

The Obbvio Prediction Score (OPS) formula is:

Where:

  • Accuracy = C / T (ranges from 0 to 100%)
    • C = Number of correct predictions
    • T = Total number of predictions


  • Prediction Difficulty (ranges from 0 to 1)

    • O = Average odds of correct predictions

Here are some example values of PD for different Odds values:

  • Statistical Significance     (ranges from 0 to 100%)

    • T = Total number of predictions
    • k=100, ensuring that S(T) increases gradually and prevents players with very few predictions from having inflated rankings.

Here are some example values of S(T) for different T values:
