Draw betting is systematically underused in AI-based football prediction despite being the outcome where statistical models gain the most consistent edge over bookmaker pricing. Draws hit approximately 24–30% of top European league matches, but bookmakers regularly overprice the draw relative to Poisson model estimates — particularly in mid-table vs mid-table fixtures where public bet volume is low and sharp money rarely moves the line. The Dixon-Coles correction to Poisson specifically improves draw prediction accuracy.
