From Messi's hat-trick to Spain's shocking upset, BitMart's World Cup prediction event is heating up

The group stage of the 2026 World Cup is entering its most anticipated phase.

Just this morning, Messi secured a crucial victory for Argentina with a hat-trick, continuing his World Cup legacy. On the other side, Mbappé was also in scorching form, netting a brace to lead France forward. Tonight, Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, will also face their important group stage opener. Whether this football legend can continue to break his own World Cup records has become a focal point of discussion among fans.

However, compared to the performances of superstars, the most talked-about topic recently has come from an unexpected match.

A few days ago, in the match between Spain and Cape Verde, Spain, who were widely favored to win, surprisingly failed to secure a victory, making it one of the most talked-about upsets since the start of this World Cup. In the BitMart World Cup Prediction event, the corresponding prediction option once offered odds of 20x. One user turned 50 points into a reward of 1,000 points, quickly turning this match into a hot case study within the community. For many fans, the appeal of the World Cup has long extended beyond the matches themselves. From pre-match analysis to result predictions, from studying lineups to discussing advancement scenarios, prediction activities are becoming an important way for more and more people to engage with the World Cup.

Covering the Entire Tournament, Not Just a Few High-Profile Matches

In many World Cup-related activities, platforms often focus on a few marquee matchups. However, the BitMart World Cup Prediction Carnival has taken a different approach, deeply integrating the event with the entire World Cup schedule. According to the event plan, predictions will run concurrently with the entire World Cup, divided into four phases based on the tournament's progress: Phase 1 covers all group stage matches, Phase 2 covers the Round of 16, Phase 3 includes the Quarter-finals and Semi-finals, and Phase 4 corresponds to the final championship stage.

This design allows users not to focus solely on a single match. Whether you follow traditional powerhouses like Argentina, France, or Portugal, or prefer to analyze the schedule to find potential upsets, you can participate in the matches that interest you at different stages. Furthermore, each phase has its own independent rewards and points rankings, allowing users to either continuously engage in predictions throughout the World Cup or strive for specific rewards based on their performance in each phase. From the group stage to the final, the event's rhythm syncs with the World Cup, giving the entire participation process a greater sense of continuity.

Earn Points First, Then Make Your Predictions

For many users new to such events, the most common question is how to qualify for making predictions. BitMart has adopted a points-based prediction model. Users first need to earn prediction points and then use these points to make their match predictions. Compared to directly participating in predictions, this mode lowers the barrier to entry, making it easier for more users to join the activity.

There are multiple ways to earn points. After signing up, users can play a "Goalie Mini-Game" to earn free points. This mini-game has no participation limit, and points rewards are available in each phase. Additionally, the platform offers various tasks such as futures trading, spot trading, inviting friends, daily check-ins, and net subscription to financial products. Users can choose how to earn more prediction points based on their habits. For users who just want to experience World Cup predictions, the mini-game provides a basic pool of points. For those looking to participate throughout the entire tournament, completing different tasks allows them to accumulate more prediction resources.

Once points are obtained, users can select the corresponding matches to make their predictions. The group stage supports three outcome predictions: home win, draw, and away win. Once the tournament enters the knockout stage, the prediction options will be adjusted accordingly. All predictions must be submitted 15 minutes before the match starts, giving users ample time for analysis and decision-making.

Upsets and Favorites Coexist, Odds Are a Key Part of the Gameplay

Compared to simply predicting match results, another aspect of this event that has attracted attention is its dynamic odds system. In the event, the odds for different matches and different prediction options are adjusted based on real-time participation. Simply put, even if you correctly predict the same match, different odds can lead to vastly different point rewards.

The earlier match between Spain and Cape Verde is a classic example. As the result defied the expectations of most users, only 15.1% of participants predicted the outcome correctly, with the corresponding prediction option reaching maximum odds of 20x. This result made many users realize that the prediction process involves more than just focusing on team strength and match results; the odds themselves are also worth studying. In some matches, the strength disparity between the two sides is clear, leading to a higher probability of a correct prediction, but the potential odds might be lower. Conversely, matches with greater uncertainty can offer a much higher point return potential.

Upon a successful prediction, users receive a point reward equivalent to their "staked points multiplied by the corresponding odds." A failed prediction results in the loss of the points staked on that match. Newly earned points can be used for subsequent match predictions. In terms of gameplay design, the event is not structured for users to make a single prediction and be done. Instead, it encourages users to participate continuously alongside the World Cup schedule, accumulating points and ranking advantages across different phases.

880,000 USDT Prize Pool Spans the Entire World Cup Cycle

Beyond the prediction gameplay itself, another major highlight of this event is its reward structure. The total prize pool for the event reaches 880,000 USDT, covering the entire World Cup cycle. The prize pool includes Token rewards, trial fund rewards, leaderboard rewards, and individual rewards, with sources not limited to a single ranking list.

After each phase concludes, the platform will calculate based on the user's final effective points. Rewards for that phase's prize pool will be distributed proportionally based on each user's share of the total points. The higher the points, the larger the reward share. Furthermore, the event also offers individual win rate rewards. Once users meet a specified number of prediction matches, they can claim rewards based on their prediction performance. This means that even if you don't rank high on the leaderboard, maintaining a high prediction accuracy rate can still unlock additional returns.

Additionally, the platform has prepared extra rewards for certain high-profile matches. Currently announced hot matches include games involving popular teams like Brazil, France, Argentina, Spain, and Portugal. When users correctly predict these matches, they can participate in the corresponding reward pool distribution on top of their standard point earnings. As the World Cup progresses to later stages, more popular knockout matches will be added, offering users more opportunities to participate.

From Messi's hat-trick to Mbappé's continued explosion, from Spain's upset bringing 20x odds, the World Cup generates new talking points every day. And for users participating in predictions, before every match kicks off, there is a new opportunity for judgment and choice. From earning points to making predictions, from focusing on hot matches to vying for stage rewards, the BitMart World Cup Prediction Carnival is progressing in tandem with the entire World Cup schedule, offering users a different way to engage with the tournament beyond traditional spectating.
