AI / Confidence
The score attached to an analysis. Do not equate it automatically with a calibrated winning probability.
AI Signal
A separate analytical prediction category, tracked apart from Official Picks.
Asian handicap
A goal adjustment to one side. Whole lines can produce a returned stake; quarter lines divide the selection between two adjacent lines.
BTTS
Both teams to score. Yes requires a goal by each team in the market’s specified period.
CLV
Closing line value: a comparison between a recorded price and a closing market reference. It requires comparable markets and timestamps.
DNB
Draw No Bet. A draw returns the stake; the selected team winning or losing determines win or loss.
Double chance
1X covers home or draw, X2 draw or away, and 12 either team winning.
Form
Recent results in a defined sample. Competition, season, phase and home/away scope matter.
H2H
Head-to-head: previous meetings between the teams. History does not determine the next result.
Hit rate / Win rate
Wins divided by wins plus losses. Voids and pending selections are excluded.
Loss
A settled selection that did not meet its market rule; typically −1u in a flat 1u record.
Market
The question being predicted: match result, total goals, both teams scoring or another defined outcome.
Odds
A decimal price. At 2.00 a winning 1u selection returns 2u in total, including the original 1u stake.
Official Pick
A selection published in the official category. Read its own market, price, explanation and result.
Over / Under
Above or below a specified total. Over 2.5 goals requires at least three goals in the specified period.
Pending
Not yet settled. This includes an unfinished fixture or insufficient confirmed information.
P/L
Net profit or loss after subtracting the tracked stake. A returned stake is not a profit.
Risk
A separate label for uncertainty around the selection. High confidence does not remove that uncertainty.
ROI
Net profit divided by the stakes counted in the sample, multiplied by 100. Check settlement rules and filters.
Unit / 1u
A standard reference stake for comparing performance. It is not a recommendation for an amount of money.
Void
A returned stake with zero net profit. It is different from a win, a loss and a pending selection.
1X2
1 means a home win, X a draw and 2 an away win in the specified match period.
