Methodology & guide
How YourBetMan screens fixtures, publishes signals and records results.
Data first, not opinions
YourBetMan does not publish picks based on personal belief, intuition or
unsupported “sure win” claims. Every published signal is generated from
historical match data, mathematical probability estimates and available market odds.
Screen all, analyse the strongest
The system screens the day’s official fixtures, excludes unsuitable competitions
and gives priority to major European leagues and UEFA competitions. Deep analysis
is reserved for the highest-priority eligible fixtures rather than filling the
site with low-quality picks.
Last-10 validation
Both teams must have 10 completed previous matches available. The model examines
wins, draws, losses, goals scored/conceded and home/away scoring patterns before
calculating market probabilities.
Mathematical market selection
The model estimates probabilities across 1X2, Double Chance, Over/Under and
BTTS markets. It selects one strongest market per fixture and compares the
model probability with available odds.
Value and publication filters
A signal must satisfy probability, odds and positive value-edge requirements.
If the strict criteria are not met, the fixture is labelled No Bet and is not
published as a Daily or Elite signal.
Separate performance records
Elite and Daily signals have separate histories, wins, losses, pending results,
profit units and ROI. Results remain visible after settlement so performance can
be evaluated transparently over time.
Signal guide
What the labels, colours and numbers on each prediction mean.
ELITE VALUE · Gold
The stricter category. An Elite signal requires model confidence of 90% or higher,
available odds within the approved range and a positive value edge. All Elite
signals are tracked separately from Daily picks.
DAILY QUALIFIED · Blue
A conservative signal that passed the Daily probability, odds and positive-edge
requirements. It is not simply a likely outcome; it must also pass the value
filters defined by the model.
Confidence %
The model’s estimated probability for the selected market, based on the available
historical data and goal model. It is an estimate, not a guarantee that the
selection will win.
Odds
The decimal bookmaker price found for the selected market. Very low odds and
excessively high odds are filtered out because probability alone does not define
whether a selection has acceptable value.
Edge +%
The difference between the model probability and the probability implied by the
available odds. A positive edge means the model estimates a higher probability
than the price implies. It is a model estimate, not guaranteed profit.
Likely score
The most likely scoreline generated by the goal model. It is context for the
selected market, not a separate exact-score recommendation.
Results guide
How settled picks and long-term statistics are shown.
PENDING
The fixture has not yet been settled. The final score and profit/loss unit will
appear after the match is completed and the result is verified.
WIN
The selected market was successful according to the final recorded result.
Profit units use a one-unit stake calculation: winning profit is odds minus one.
LOSS
The selected market did not win. A loss is recorded as −1 unit. Losses remain
visible in the history and are never removed from performance statistics.
Win rate
The percentage of settled picks that won:
wins divided by all settled picks. Pending fixtures are not included until
they are settled.
Profit units
A standardised measurement using one unit per pick. For example, a winning
selection at odds 1.50 returns +0.50 units; a losing selection records −1.00 unit.
ROI
Return on investment across settled picks. It compares total profit/loss units
with the number of settled one-unit selections. Daily and Elite ROI are shown
separately.
Responsible use: YourBetMan provides probabilistic sports analysis for
information and entertainment. Mathematical modelling can improve consistency
and decision-making, but football outcomes remain uncertain. No individual
prediction, win rate, profit or return is guaranteed.
