Methodology

A method you can audit.

Our process is designed to be explained, questioned and checked. Here is exactly how a selection moves from idea to settled result.

01

Market assessment

We scan liquid markets and identify where prices move slowly relative to new information — lineups, schedule load, surface, weather.

02

Probability estimation

Independent estimates from team and player models, adjusted with documented qualitative inputs. We record the estimate before comparing it to price.

03

Value comparison

Offered odds are compared against fair odds. A selection is only published when the estimated edge clears a minimum threshold.

04

Stake sizing

Stakes are expressed in units and scaled conservatively with edge and confidence — never chasing losses, never increasing to recover.

05

Transparent result tracking

Every selection is timestamped and settled publicly: won, lost or void. Nothing is deleted or retro-edited.

Limitations

What this method cannot do.

  • Models are estimates. They can be miscalibrated, and markets are often efficient.
  • A positive expected value is a long-run average, not a forecast of any single result.
  • Sample sizes under several hundred bets say little about true skill.
  • Closing-line comparison is a better short-term signal than win rate.

EV = probability × odds − 1 = 0.50 × 2.20 − 1 = 0.100. The price exceeds your fair estimate — but only if your estimate is right.

Same edge, very different paths. That is variance.
