FAQ
What was the score in Portsmouth vs Cardiff?
Portsmouth vs Cardiff finished 2-0. The model's most likely scoreline was 1-1 at 12.6%; it gave the actual 2-0 a 9.1% chance.
How is this probability calculated?
We fit a goals and markets model (Dixon-Coles plus an xG strength model and an ensemble) on real match data, then calibrate the output against out-of-sample results. It is a calibrated model probability, not an odds-derived tip.
Is this a betting tip?
No – these are calibrated model probabilities, graded against real results. We publish our full track record, including the misses, and never claim to beat the closing market.
