World Cup Sweepstake
A World Cup 2026 sweepstake dashboard with live standings, fixtures, odds and match highlights.
World Cup Sweepstake is a single-page dashboard for running a friendly office-style sweepstake during the 2026 tournament. It pulls live group standings and fixtures, tracks the odds for each participant's drawn team, and surfaces match highlights - all in one view.
Why did I make the World Cup Sweepstake?
Every tournament my friends and I run a sweepstake where everyone draws a team, but keeping track of who is winning means juggling a dozen tabs. I built this to pull everything into one place: live results, current odds, and a clear standings table that updates itself so we always know who's on top without doing the maths by hand.

- Per-participant odds tracking with historical odds movement
