Model read

Bolton versus Stoke in the Championship on 10 October 2026 is finely balanced. Stoke edge it at 38%, but the gap to the field is slim. The numbers that frame it: • Totals sit close to the fence: 46% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 52%. • Head to head, the last 2 meetings gave 0 wins for Bolton, 1 draws and 1 for Stoke, averaging 1.0 goals a game. • Bolton are newly promoted, a profile the model deliberately prices with caution. The run in: Bolton arrive W1 D1 L4, Stoke W3 D1 L2. Verdict: no bet. No bookmaker price published for this match yet.

Value & higher-risk angles

Outcomes the model rates higher than the obvious price suggests, plus a few long-shot scorelines that are simply possible. These are the least likely calls on the page, so treat them as such. They are not tips, and we do not beat the sharp bookmakers.

Full market spectrum · model probabilities

The model’s own percentages, with no odds attached. The smaller markets are here so you can see everything we hold a number on, not because we claim an advantage in them. The colour says how close our percentages have landed to reality on matches the model had never seen.

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 (55416 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.
