What is "Today's Pick"?
It's a compact accumulator we publish once per day, designed to be simple, disciplined, and repeatable. Instead of chasing long slips, we prioritize probability and price efficiency.
Why it matters
- Focus over noise. One disciplined ticket per day cuts decision fatigue and impulsive chasing.
- Compounding mindset. Consistent, smaller edges beat wild swings from long-shot slips.
- Reusable routine. Same window, same process ⇒ easier tracking and improvement.
- Education built-in. Each leg shows reasoning signals (probability, fair odds, league filters) to learn as you go.
How to use Today's Pick
- Check timing: We publish for today's fixtures (UTC). If a match moves (PST/TBD), we may void or replace per rules.
- Scan signals: Look at model probability, market price vs fair, and league tags. Avoid adding extra legs just to chase bigger odds.
- Stake smart: Use a fixed fraction of bankroll (see below). Avoid doubling stakes after losses.
- Record & review: Keep a simple log: date, legs, odds, stake, result. Winning is a process.
Risk & Staking
Keep it light. Protect the ability to place tomorrow's ticket.
- Conservative: 0.5% of bankroll
- Standard: 1% of bankroll
- Confident days: 2% max
- Martingale or chase strategies
- Adding too many legs (variance ↑)
- Betting on poor liquidity / erratic leagues
Rollover (Optional)
Some members like to roll over yesterday's profit into today's stake to accelerate growth. Keep limits strict:
- Cap each day's stake to your rules above (e.g., ≤2%).
- Reset to base stake after any loss.
- Never roll over principal you can't afford to risk.
How we build it
We mix Poisson-style goal models, form with exponential decay, and league-level priors. A leg needs a high implied win % with price discipline (book vs fair).
We prefer stable markets (main lines), avoid erratic leagues, and cap per-leg fair odds to control variance. Suspicious line moves may disqualify picks.
Most days: 2–3 legs, combined ≈2.0. More legs only when edge & correlation allow.
- NS — Not Started
- TBD — Time/Details to be decided (may void)
- PST — Postponed (typically void)
- FT — Full Time (settled)
Example day
- 1X (Home/Draw) — 1.35
- Over 1.5 — 1.50
Combined ≈ 2.03
- Strong home control + low concede rate
- Attack xG forms support ≥2 goals
- Book price near or above our fair
FAQ
We don't recommend it. Extra legs raise variance and often kill edge.
If your price is worse than our fair by a lot, reduce stake or skip. Price is the edge.
Once daily (UTC). If fixtures change, we may mark legs void or adjust before KO.
Responsible Use
Only stake what you can afford to lose. This is not financial advice. Treat it as an educational product with disciplined risk rules.
