<a href="https://forecastrecord.com/authors/matthew-cooper/">Record tracked by Forecast Record since 27 September 2026 · 34 predictions · last change 6 November 2026</a>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.
Prices implied by market
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.
Score forecasts without a betting market price
Outcome checked. No betting return is attributed to these score forecasts.
2 of 23 score forecasts named the exact score (8.7%).
The result implied by the named score was right in 7 of 13 matches; the market favourite was right in 8 of the same 13 matches.
A pre-match market favourite is known for 13 of 23 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).
What kind of number is this?
