Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pulse Engine v3.4?
The Pulse Engine v3.4 is our proprietary Monte Carlo simulation model that generates 10,000 simulated outcomes per match using 240+ inputs across team strength, recent form, head-to-head history, lineups, injuries, fatigue, venue, weather, and tactical matchups. Each prediction is calibrated against historical results across 12,400+ tracked matches.
How accurate are these AI predictions?
Our verified track record across 12,400+ predictions: 1X2 markets at 64.2% accuracy, Over/Under Goals at 71.4%, BTTS at 64.2%, Anytime Goalscorer at 62.8%. Our calibration (Brier Score 0.184, Mean Calibration Error 1.8%) outperforms market-implied probabilities in all but the longest-tail outright markets. Full track record, broken down by market and sample size, is on our methodology page.
Are these guaranteed winning bets?
No. AI predictions are probabilistic assessments, not guarantees. Even our highest-confidence picks lose roughly 35% of the time. Our model identifies positive expected value over a large sample of bets; individual outcomes vary. Never wager more than you can afford to lose.
What does "edge" mean on each pick?
Edge percentage = (Model probability) − (Market implied probability). For example, if our model says Haaland has 65.2% probability of scoring and best odds 1.85 imply 54.1% probability, the edge is +11.1 percentage points. Higher positive edge indicates greater discrepancy between our model and the bookmaker — and theoretically, greater long-term expected value.
How often are predictions updated?
Each prediction is regenerated every 12 hours up to kickoff, incorporating the latest team news, lineups, injury updates, and odds movements. Predictions are locked at kickoff. The "Last updated" timestamp on each match page indicates the most recent model run.
Do I have to bet at the recommended sportsbook?
No. We display the sportsbook offering the best odds at the time of analysis, but our predictions are bookmaker-independent. You can compare odds and bet wherever you have an account. Our "best odds" designation refers only to the highest price among the books we track, not an endorsement.
Will you cover tournaments beyond the World Cup?
The current Pulse Engine v3.4 deployment focuses on international football, including the 2026 World Cup, Copa América, AFCON, and Euro qualifiers. Club football coverage (Champions League, Premier League, La Liga) is in beta testing and will be added post-tournament.
