Winning tips are highlighted in red!

Before selecting certain competitions, we recommend checking their performance over both the long term (e.g. last 3 months or more) and short term (e.g. last month or less).

How to find the best competitions using "Best Choice!"

• Set a time interval in the past, e.g., last week, last month, or the last 3 months.
• Uncheck “Sel. League” to calculate for all leagues, then click the “Performance” button.
• Click “Best Choice!” and choose leagues with a higher success rate.

If you're looking for matches that are likely to result in surprises, choose leagues with a lower success rate where surprise results occur more frequently.
Use the "Confidence" values to select the best matches from these leagues. High Confidence means a more predictable outcome, while low Confidence indicates the possibility of an upset. Extreme Confidence values (either very low or very high, e.g., 0 or 100) should be carefully analysed or avoided.

Favourite leagues

This feature allows you to focus exclusively on your favourite leagues. You can create as many collections of favourite leagues as you like and switch between them whenever you choose.

• To display the collections list, simply hover your mouse over the Favourite Leagues star icon.
• You can toggle between "Favourite Leagues" and "All Leagues" mode by clicking the star icon.

• When "Favourite Leagues" mode is enabled, only the leagues in the selected collection will be used.
• When "All Leagues" mode is enabled, all available leagues will be considered.

• To create a new collection, click on + button
• To delete a collection, select it and click the x button
• To rename a collection, type a new name in the box beneath the collections list

• To add a league to a collection, switch to "All Leagues" mode, select the collection, and double-click on the league you wish to add.
• To remove a league from a collection, switch to "Favourite Leagues" mode, select the collection, and double-click the league to delete it.

My Ticket: Favourite matches

Select the matches you wish to include and create your own personalised ticket. Follow the on-screen instructions when you hover over the Star icon above the Prediction table. Click the Star icon to view your selected favourite matches. Click it again to return to normal mode. This feature is also available in the Biorhythm window.

This window is a great place to view detailed predictions, check the current form of teams, and conduct head-to-head analysis.

Techniques

The powerful engine provides daily tips with just one click.

Simply apply the default techniques, or define, test, and use your own selection strategies.
A good starting point for defining new techniques is studying patterns from the most successful past matches.

Click on the "Download" button to install the default techniques.

Applying techniques

• Calculate Performance/Prediction.
• Select the desired technique(s) and click Apply or Apply selected.
• Matches that fit the criteria will appear in the Prediction table.

Creating a Technique

• Calculate Performance.
• Set the desired criteria and click Apply.
• If it produces good results, enter a name and click Save.
• To ensure it works long-term, test it over an extended period (e.g., one year) with the help of Performance. To save any changes, click Update.

Calculating the Optimum stake

• Calculate Performance for the desired period. The longer the period, the more accurate the calculation.
• Select your technique and click Apply. The program will automatically calculate the optimum stake.
• Click Update to save the new stake, then click Apply selected to use the new stake.
• The optimum stake percentage is automatically calculated and cannot be manually adjusted. Occasionally, the optimum stake may exceed 15%. For greater stability, we limit the optimum stake to 15%, which is already a high value. Please take this into account and consider 15% as the maximum limit.

Backing Up and Restoring

• Display "My Techniques", select the desired techniques, and click the Backup button.
• To restore or add new techniques, simply drag and drop them into the Techniques list or right-click the Backup button.

Overlapping Techniques

• Select the techniques and right-click Apply selected.

Creating New Techniques: Limitless Possibilities

Creating new techniques that are profitable in the long run can be tricky, but it is a rewarding and enjoyable task. The possibilities are limitless.
To achieve a good margin of profit, try not to rely too much on both teams' full-season statistics, as the opening odds are based on the same statistical data. You can use basic statistics, but don't rely on them exclusively. Instead, aim for a more dynamic approach. You can focus on the last few matches or last few days, or add more restrictions to one team and looser criteria for the other. Alternatively, you can add additional indirect parameters.

Note

• The parameters marked with a percentage sign (%) are percentage-based and not absolute values. For example, "Standings > Places 0-20%" means the top 20% of teams in the league standings. In a league with 20 teams, 0-20% corresponds to places 1-4. Similarly, 80-100% corresponds to places 16-20.
• For reference values in Statistics, consult the corresponding figures in the Statistics window.
• All calculations are based on single bets with the recommended stake percentage of the current bankroll.
• Clicking "Apply" will use the currently displayed parameters, while clicking "Apply selected" will load and apply the selected techniques.

Tips

• For the best long-term results, it’s recommended to use the optimum stake percentage, calculated individually after testing it over an extended period using the Performance feature. To view the technique name and stake for each selected match, click in the Prediction table and hover your mouse over the "Tip" column.

• For lower bankroll fluctuation, you may also want to consider a smaller stake. Although long-term results will be lower, they will still be very positive.
• When defining a new technique, it’s best to choose only a few criteria. One may not be enough, but too many or conflicting criteria could drastically reduce the number of selected matches.
• Bankroll growth is influenced by two main factors: Return and the number of successful betting cycles (won matches). The more consistent the bankroll growth (as shown in the graph), the better the technique.
• Selecting the best available odds can make a significant difference. Just a 0.05 increase in odds (e.g., from 1.52 to 1.57 or from 1.70 to 1.75) could lead to multiplying the bankroll by 100 times in the long run!
• The "Value Bet" parameter compares the true odds (calculated by inverting the probabilities) with the bookmaker’s odds to identify value bets. In theory, any match with a this parameter higher than 1 is a value bet. However, due to the algorithm used and other factors, this threshold can vary, so feel free to experiment with different ranges. You can also add or manually analyse additional parameters to refine your selection, rather than relying solely on one parameter, even for value bets.
• A simple yet effective approach to using the Techniques is to create a few straightforward strategies to filter and select good matches with similar strong characteristics for the desired type of bet. This approach will reduce the number of matches to analyse while improving their quality, making the process faster and your analysis simpler. Start with odds, which are universal parameters, and then add relevant stats such as biorhythm, goals scored, goals conceded (or predicted), win/draw/lose streaks, standings, and team differences. Test these techniques on past matches to fine-tune the selection, but avoid restricting the parameters too much, as the aim is to select a manageable number of matches for manual analysis.
