Survey Evidence on Crypto Traders’ Soccer Predictions and Risk Preferences

Summary

The document reports a survey of 2,000 soccer fans who trade cryptocurrency, conducted alongside the launch of a World Cup outcomes contest. Respondents were asked about the value they place on bitcoin versus a World Cup victory, which sports they associate with crypto, whether trading and match prediction draw on similar skills, and how they compare their prediction ability with their portfolio performance. The reported results suggest many participants see overlap in pattern recognition, probabilistic judgment, and composure, while a substantial share expected their soccer calls to outperform their crypto trades.

These findings offer a snapshot of stated beliefs and emotional preferences among a selected group of crypto-trading soccer fans. The document does not explain sampling, question wording, geographic composition, or whether respondents’ predictions were tested against actual outcomes. Its discussion of a contest and its underlying exchange infrastructure is promotional context, not evidence of a profitable prediction strategy.

Key ideas

• The survey sampled 2,000 soccer fans who also trade cryptocurrency.
• Many respondents said crypto trading and predicting match outcomes use overlapping skills.
• Respondents’ confidence in their soccer calls was often greater than their confidence in crypto trading performance.
• The survey records self-reported opinions and does not test prediction accuracy against results.
• The contest description is product context rather than evidence of a trading edge.
