Why we don't claim 95% accuracy
Because it's not real. Any football prediction site claiming 90 to 95 percent is either lying or hiding its losses. Here's the maths on why that's impossible, our real verified number, and every losing pick we've ever made.
The maths that kills the 95% claim
A pick that genuinely wins 95 percent of the time is priced by bookmakers at about 1.05. Bet 1.05 all day and you make almost nothing, because the price already reflects how likely it is. There is no market where a tipster can find 95-percent winners and odds worth betting. The two things cancel out. Anyone selling both is selling a fantasy.
So when a site advertises "87% accurate" or "95% winning," one of three things is true: they only counted their winners, they quietly deleted the losers, or they never graded a single pick against the real result in the first place. The number is marketing, not a record.
Our real number, with the losers attached
Our model runs at a 73% verified hit rate across 1126 settled picks since February 2026. Not 95. Seventy-ish. And every single loss is still on the record, with the date it was logged and the real scoreline it lost to. You can download the whole thing as a CSV and check it yourself. That is the difference between a number and a record.
We also publish our calibration: when the model says 76 percent, does it actually land about 76 percent of the time? That's the honesty test the inflated-accuracy crowd never shows, because they have nothing to calibrate against.

| Full record downloadable | No | Yes, CSV |
| Proof | Screenshots | Checkable ledger |
| Cost | VIP paywall | Free to read the whole record |
How to check any tipster in 30 seconds
Before you trust any prediction site, ask three questions. One: can you see their losing picks, not just the winners? Two: can you prove each pick was logged before kickoff, not written up afterwards? Three: can you download the full record and count it yourself? If the answer to any of those is no, the accuracy number is decoration. Ours passes all three, on purpose.
