The Board Record Simulator Method
How it works

We look for prices that are wrong.

Bookmakers put a price on every match. Sometimes that price is off — they make the favourite too cheap, or the goals too expensive. Our job is to find those moments, bet them, and show you every single result. That's the whole business. Here's each step, in plain words.

1

Every match gets a probability

A statistical model studies the matches on today's slate — form, goals, strengths, weaknesses — and answers one question per market: how likely is this, really? Maybe it says there's a 61% chance Belgium vs Egypt goes over 2.5 goals. That's our number.

2

We compare our number with the bookmaker's

A bookmaker's odds are just their probability wearing a price tag. Odds of 2.03 mean they think it's about a 49% shot. If our model says 61% and their price says 49%, one of us is wrong — and when we're confident it's them, that gap is called an edge.

No gap, no bet. Most days most matches have no gap. That's normal, and we show you those too.

3

The board drops at 09:00, before kickoff

Every morning we publish three things: Fox Picks (the official bets — rare, only when an edge clears every bar), Leans (close calls we play at half stake), and the Slate (every match we scored, including all the ones we didn't bet). Each pick comes with the reasoning attached, published before the match starts — so nobody can claim it after the fact.

4

Results settle in public

Within the hour of full-time, every pick is marked won or lost on the Record. Wins and losses stay there forever. Nothing is edited, nothing is deleted. If we're good, the record shows it. If we're not, the record shows that too — and you should leave.

The dictionary

Every term on this site, in plain words.

Odds

The bookmaker's price. Odds of 2.00 mean: bet $10, get $20 back if it wins. Higher odds = the bookie thinks it's less likely.

Model %

How likely we think the bet is to win, according to our model.

Market %

How likely the bookmaker thinks it is — hidden inside their price. Odds of 2.00 work out to about 50%.

Edge / EV

Expected value: what you'd earn on average if you made this exact bet a thousand times. +10% EV means $10 of expected profit per $100 staked. Positive EV is the only reason we ever bet.

Unit (u)

One standard bet. We never say "bet $50" — we say 1u, and you decide what a unit is for your wallet. A common choice is 2% of your bankroll: with $500 set aside, 1u = $10, so +2.5u = +$25.

Fox Pick

An official pick — staked at 1u and counted in the record forever. Rare on purpose: zero to four per day, only when the edge clears every bar.

Lean

A near-miss: a bet we like that didn't quite clear the official bar. Played at half stake (½u) and tracked on its own record, just as publicly.

The Slate

Every match the model scored today — including all the ones we didn't bet. It's the proof that we're not just showing you winners.

Win rate

How many picks won, out of all settled picks. Careful: 58% at odds of 2.0 makes money; 58% at odds of 1.5 loses it. Win rate alone never tells the whole story — profit does.

ROI

Return on investment: total profit divided by everything staked. The cleanest single answer to "is this actually making money?"

CLV

Closing-line value. Odds keep moving until kickoff, and the final price is the market's smartest opinion. If our price keeps beating that final price, the edge is real — luck can't fake that for long.

Settling

Marking a pick won or lost after the match ends. Ours happens automatically within the hour of full-time.

The promises

What we never do.

Delete losses

Every loss stays on the record forever. If you ever catch one missing, screenshot us and burn it down.

Chase losses

No doubling your stake after a loss to "win it back" (the famous martingale). It feels clever and ends bankrupts. Flat stakes, every day, win or lose.

Guarantee wins

Anyone promising "fixed matches" or "guaranteed VIP wins" is lying to you. We lose about 4 bets in 10 — and we publish every one of them.

Bet without an edge

Some days the model finds nothing. We post that too, and bet nothing. Forcing bets to have content is how tipsters go broke — loudly, with your money.

Questions? The room answers.

The board drops in the Discord at 09:00 with the reasoning attached, and there's always someone happy to explain a term one more time.
