Model read

Few Primeira Liga fixtures are this lopsided in the data: Arouca carry a 55% win probability against Maritimo on 29 August 2026. Our number sits above the market's 45% for Arouca. The gap itself is information. No strong lean on goals (54% Over 2.5). The interest, if any, lives elsewhere. As a promoted side, Maritimo carry exactly the structural uncertainty our priors were built for. Head to head, the last 5 meetings gave 1 wins for Arouca, 2 draws and 2 for Maritimo, averaging 2.8 goals a game. Recent form reads W4 D1 L1 for Arouca against W3 D1 L2 for Maritimo. Discipline says sit it out: trust gate: NO_TRUST (segment historically unreliable).

Lower-probability calls our model rates above the obvious price; random finds are high-return scorelines that can happen. Higher risk, not a tip; we never beat the sharp market.

How this works (honestly)

We are transparent about our method, our limits and how we measure performance.

What we use

Results, odds & closing prices, xG, shots, lineups, referee and schedule load.

Our method

Dixon-Coles + an xG strength model + champion/challenger selection + probability calibration + a trust gate.

What we don’t do

We do not beat the sharp market. The value is honest probabilities, No-bet calls and CLV.

Performance snapshot

Top-pick hit rate 47.7% (reliability, not edge). Calibration error 0.0095 (55261 matches).

Not financial advice. No model beats the sharp closing market on public data. The value here is honest probabilities, No-bet calls, and CLV history.
