Recorded before kick-off: supporting evidence

Recorded before kick-off, graded after the match

4 predictions recorded before kick-off. None of the 4 was right.

Recorded before kick-off: saved by us from the source before the match started, with the time we saved it. Definition.

Score forecasts without a betting market price

Outcome checked. No betting return is attributed to these score forecasts.

3 of 44 score forecasts named the exact score (6.8%).

The result implied by the named score was right in 14 of 27 matches; the market favourite was right in 12 of the same 27 matches.

A pre-match market favourite is known for 27 of 44 forecasts; the comparison uses only those.

The market favourite is the home win, draw or away win with the lowest price in our own odds snapshot taken before kick-off.

The implied result follows from the named score (2-1 implies a home win).
