Welcome back fam, and we’re here to recap June! The second half of June 2026 was SaltyBet’s busiest, richest stretch of the month: SaltyTrack logged 6,560 matches and $43.4 billion in Salty Bucks wagered across June 15–30 — and our model hit 75.0% while the crowd managed just 68.7%.[1] One whale dropped $340 million on a single fighter. The crowd stacked $49.3 million on an S-tier favorite and watched it lose at a 34-to-1 ratio.
Beautiful family, welcome back! That 6.3-point edge over the crowd was nearly double the first half’s 3.3 — our best fortnight in a while — and it capped a busier, richer two weeks than the first half (which ran 5,632 matches and $35.8B). Roll the whole month together and SaltyTrack finished June at 73.4% vs the crowd’s 68.5%. Grab a snack — here’s the full second-half breakdown: the numbers, who’s hot, the biggest upsets, the whale pots, the longest streaks, how our predictions held up, and the usual pile of weird.
The sixteen-day flyover of SaltyBet:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Matches | 6,560 |
| Total Wagered | $43.4 billion |
| Unique Fighters | 6,062 |
| Avg Matches/Day | ~410 |
| Mode Split | 86.8% matchmaking / 13.2% tournament |
| Side Balance | Red 49.2% / Blue 50.8% |
6,062 unique fighters across 6,560 matches — once again, nearly a fresh face for every match on the card. The average fighter showed up barely more than once in the whole fortnight. That’s SaltyBet’s roster doing what it always does: an ocean of MUGEN characters, most of whom you’ll see a single time before the matchmaker spins them back into the pool. New to how that churn works? The Beginner’s Guide covers the basics.
And blue took the coin flip back this half, 50.8% to 49.2% — after red edged it in the first half. We keep telling you: across thousands of matches the red/blue split is noise, and whichever side is “ahead” this fortnight means exactly nothing. Two halves of the same month disagreeing with each other is the whole point. :)
Here’s how the action sorted across the tiers:
| Tier | Matches | % of Total | Avg Pot |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 2,721 | 41.5% | $5.7M |
| S | 2,093 | 31.9% | $6.8M |
| B | 1,437 | 21.9% | $7.3M |
| X | 169 | 2.6% | $9.7M |
| P | 140 | 2.1% | $12.0M |
A-tier and S-tier together were 73.4% of all the action — that’s where the matchmaking lives. X and P stayed rare as ever. And notice the right-hand column again: P-tier drew the fattest average pots at $12.0M, more than double A-tier’s. It’s the same SaltyBet paradox we flag every report — the crowd bets biggest on the tier it knows least, because P-tier’s tiny sample sizes mean nobody actually knows what they’re watching. They send it anyway.
These fighters cleared the entire second half without dropping a single match (5+ wins):
| Fighter | Record | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Asuras | 7-0 | A |
| Akiha tohno EX | 7-0 | S |
| Black princess tohka | 7-0 | S |
| Rugal b. EX | 6-0 | S |
| Android 16 ub22 | 6-0 | S |
| Wolverine_cota | 6-0 | S |
| Task force flash | 6-0 | A |
| Sanji 13 | 6-0 | B |
Three fighters tied at 7-0, and two of them did it in S-tier. Akiha tohno EX and Black princess tohka went a perfect seven in the strongest pool SaltyBet routinely runs — no soft schedule there — while Asuras matched them at 7-0 in A. Going undefeated in S means you beat genuine peers seven times running. Salute to all three.
And zoom out to the whole month and one name pulls ahead: Akiha tohno EX finished June a perfect 10-0 in S-tier — the month’s undefeated champion, and a fitting one, because it’s a Tsukihime deep cut, not a franchise headliner. We always love when a MUGEN no-name prints Salty Bucks for four straight weeks. Alien metron (9-0, A) and Asuras (9-0 across the month) were right behind.
Not everybody had a good fortnight:
| Fighter | Record | Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Mizuka tank | 0-6 | S |
| Kairu a | 0-6 | A |
| Johnny cage EX | 0-6 | A |
| Sapphire | 0-6 | A |
| Iron man z | 0-5 | A |
| Henri angelo | 0-5 | S |
Mizuka tank ate a winless 0-6 in S-tier — the roughest fortnight of the bunch, losing six straight against the game’s toughest pool. And Johnny cage EX going 0-6 in A is the painful one for the name-recognition crowd — the Mortal Kombat movie star, winless across two weeks. As we’ve said in why some MUGEN characters always win, the name on the select screen does not predict the result in the arena. 😭
These are the matches where the crowd piled money on the favorite — and the favorite lost. We rank by the bet ratio (Salty Bucks on the loser for every dollar on the winner):
| Date | Underdog (Winner) | Favorite (Loser) | Upset Ratio | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 20 | Shiteyannyo | Foreigner | 34.2x | S |
| Jun 28 | Syobo-n | Sonic vanessa | 28.1x | S |
| Jun 27 | Sol | Riesbyfe stridberg | 26.4x | S |
| Jun 28 | Masaccio(morphed) | Evil zangief hd | 17.9x | S |
| Jun 19 | Thawk sfa | Chinnen EX5 | 17.9x | A |
The single most expensive lesson of the half belongs to Foreigner. On June 20, the crowd stacked $49.3 million on Foreigner in an S-tier match. Shiteyannyo got $1.4 million. Shiteyannyo won. That’s a 34.2x ratio — even steeper than the first half’s biggest upset (Sion_alien’s 22.9x) — and a genuine eight-figure crowd meltdown.
And look at the top of that table: four of the five biggest upsets were S-tier. It’s the same pattern every report — when the crowd over-commits, it does it on the tiers it thinks it understands. The Foreigner, Sonic vanessa, and Riesbyfe stridberg piles were all S-tier “sure things” that weren’t. If you want the psychology behind why bettors keep feeding favorites that are about to fold, our psychology of AI fight betting digs into the herd behavior.
The fattest single-match prize pools of the half — and a theme you cannot miss:
| Date | Red | Blue | Winner | Total Pot | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 20 | Revlius | Captain boomerang | Red | $342.3M | B |
| Jun 28 | Deid.gh.saso.ugh. | Luigi ssbb | Blue | $204.8M | B |
| Jun 24 | Ho seong | Jonathan blade | Red | $162.8M | B |
| Jun 21 | Skeleton | Chintai | Red | $158.1M | B |
| Jun 23 | Seiya de pegasus | Noembelu | Red | $157.9M | B |
Every single one of the half’s five biggest pots was basically one person. This is the wild part: the $342.3M Revlius pot on June 20 was 99.5% a single bet — roughly $340M on Revlius against about $1.7M on Captain boomerang. And it wasn’t a one-off. The $204.8M pot? 99.5% one bet. The $162.8M? 99.3%. All five of the top pots were 98%+ a lone whale, not a crowd. Somebody with a truly obscene Salty Bucks balance spent the back half of June dropping nine-figure conviction bets on B-tier matches — and, this time, mostly cashing (four of the five whale sides won).
For scale: the $342.3M Revlius pot is the fattest single match we’ve seen in months — it blows past the first half’s $205.5M whale — but it’s still nowhere near SaltyBet’s all-time ceiling, which lives up in the billions from back in 2022. Big number, but let’s be honest about what it was: one enormous conviction bet, five times over, not a crowd stampede. And notice they were all B-tier. When a whale wants to move a pot, they don’t need an S-tier headliner — they just need a match and a bankroll.
Some of the first half’s monsters were still lurking, and a couple of fresh ones surfaced. These are the longest active streaks we tracked during June 15–30:
| Fighter | Win Streak |
|---|---|
| H_yujiro | 70 |
| Fortuna | 58 |
| Berserker EX | 51 |
| Gatanothor | 46 |
| Junko | 40 |
| Fighter | Loss Streak |
|---|---|
| The kid | 36 |
| Guntank | 26 |
| Sub zero | 25 |
| Drill asamin | 21 |
| Valmer rugal | 17 |
H_yujiro was still out there riding its 70-match win streak — the same absurd run we flagged in the first half, and still the tallest active streak on the board. Fortuna (58) and Junko (40) carried over too; these ultra-long-streak fighters appear rarely but win every time the matchmaker rolls them out, so they linger at the top of the board for weeks. The fresh blood this half was Berserker EX at 51 and Gatanothor at 46 — two more of those rare, dominant slot-fillers that nothing seems to touch. (Quick note for the stat nerds: our local archive only holds a slice of these rare fighters’ matches, so we lean on SaltyBet’s own per-match streak counter rather than recounting from our records — it’s the authoritative number.)
On the other end of the universe: The kid dropped its 36th straight loss — the coldest streak of the half, out-cursing the first half’s Patrick (31). Thirty-six losses in a row. Somewhere out there is a bettor still loyally backing The kid, and we salute the commitment to the bit. :)
SaltyTrack’s model generated a prediction for every one of the half’s 6,560 matches. Here’s how each confidence level performed:
| Confidence | Matches | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|
| Lock | 2 | 100% |
| High | 1,455 | 92.7% |
| Medium | 2,647 | 78.8% |
| Low | 2,456 | 60.2% |
| Overall | 6,560 | 75.0% |
The model hit 75.0% overall — and the crowd hit 68.7%. That’s a 6.3-point edge, nearly double the first half’s 3.3 and the widest gap since May. Over the long run, beating the crowd is the whole job, and this fortnight the job got done comfortably.
The story, as always, is where the confidence lives. High-confidence calls hit 92.7% across 1,455 matches — that’s the band where the edge is real and the picks are worth backing. Medium (78.8%) was strong. Low (60.2%) is, by design, barely better than a coin toss — when our model says “Low,” it’s telling you it genuinely doesn’t know, and you should size your Salty Bucks accordingly. Lock fired just twice and hit both — our rarest, stingiest tier staying appropriately rare. For the full picture of how the confidence system works, here’s our deep dive on how SaltyTrack predicts fights.
Roll the whole month together and SaltyTrack finished June at 73.4% across 12,192 matches, versus the crowd’s 68.5% — a 4.9-point monthly edge. Consistent, and pointed the right direction.
