Recorded before kick-off: supporting evidence

Eligible price: a market price that meets the price rule of its part of the record; the return is calculated on picks with one. Definition.

How the market price is set

Recorded before kick-off, graded after the match

14 predictions recorded before kick-off. Right in 1 of 14.

Prices implied by market

By market: Match result 4 of 11 (prices implied 48.8% Small sample (11)); Both teams to score 4 of 10 (prices implied 63.4% Small sample (10)); Over/under goals 3 of 8 (3 W / 5 L, average odds 1.60) Small sample (8); Correct score 0 of 2 (0 W / 2 L, average odds 7.90) Small sample (2); Double chance 1 of 1 (1 W / 0 L, average odds 1.37) Small sample (1).

The implied share is the average of 1 ÷ price; it includes the bookmaker margin, so it is slightly above a fair chance. Markets with low prices are won more often, so a share of picks won says little on its own.

An author-quoted price is the price the article offered; the headline return uses the market price in the last column.

Score forecasts without a betting market price

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

4 of 46 score forecasts named the exact score (8.7%).

The result implied by the named score was right in 18 of 35 matches; the market favourite was right in 21 of the same 35 matches.

A pre-match market favourite is known for 35 of 46 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).

Stated price vs market

How the prices this author stated compare with an independent market price of the same selection. Calculated from the picks where both prices are known; a gap can come from market movement or from one bookmaker offering more than the market, so it describes the stated prices, not the reason for them.

Our market price when we first recorded the pick — our market price for the same selection when we first recorded the pick (median of bookmakers in our price feed; failing that, the first price within 2 hours after, always before kick-off). Difference = the author's stated price ÷ the market price of the same selection − 1. A pick counts as above the market when the stated price is more than 5.0% higher. Each basis is its own comparison; they are never added together. A pair whose prices differ more than twofold is marked “price disputed”: it is probably not the same selection, so it is left out of this comparison and of every return at the author’s price until a manual check confirms the price. A price that the quoted text does not give is marked “price disputed” in the same way.

Largest gaps: 2.16 against 1.67 (+29.6%) · 1.54 against 1.30 (+18.4%)

How this return was calculated

Every settled pick in “Recorded before kick-off, at our recorded market price” is a stake of 100 points at our recorded market price, a pre-match snapshot of the same selection. The net result (−1,284.72 points) is the sum of the profit and loss of these 32 settled live picks; the return is the net result divided by the total staked (3,200 points), void picks excluded. Definition of return on stakes · How a pick is settled.

Other prices of the same picks are compared row by row in each part of the record above; they are never added to this number.
