win probability

Odds of winning

Win probability is a statistical measure expressing the likelihood that a team or player will win a game, usually as a percentage that updates in real time based on current conditions: With two minutes left and down by seven, their win probability dropped to 12%.

Common in sports analytics and betting, win probability models factor in score, time remaining, possession, and historical data.

The metric has spread from baseball to football, basketball, and esports, often displayed during broadcasts.
