How to use Match Scout

Match Scout statistically analyses upcoming matches and shows which markets are statistically interesting. Make smarter choices based on probability, not gut feeling.

What is edge?

Edge is the difference between your calculated probability of an outcome and the implied probability the bookmaker prices into their odds. A positive edge (e.g. +5%) means: statistically, the chances are better than the odds suggest. A negative edge means the bookmaker has already priced this in.

Edge says nothing about who will win. It says something about whether the odds are correctly priced relative to the expected probability.

The overview

Every upcoming match appears as a card with club logos, date, time and the model probability per market.

Chips explained

Each card has up to five chips showing the model probability per market type. The overview shows the model probability on its own; open a match and the report puts it next to the bookmaker price, which is where the edge appears.

Frequently asked questions

SlipsIQ uses a Poisson model based on historical attack and defence statistics of both teams. This produces a theoretical probability distribution across all possible scores.

No. Signal strength says something about how outspoken the model is about a match, not about the outcome. Any individual match can go differently. Use it as one of several factors in your decision.
