Mateo (2023-10-13, Rating 5):
Hey, please help me understand odds ratings both OO/AO. And sometimes, the opening odds could be lower than the fair odds then later the available odds exceed the fair odds. What does it mean in prediction of the winning team?!

Do you have a chat or help section where viewers can ask for assistance?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Maybe we can have a forum someday. I'm not sure about it.

OO = Opening Odds. Most important number.
AO = Available Odds. Here you can see what happened to odds, after odds dropped.

You should understand the combination of these 2 numbers. Ideal is OO/AO -20/-4 or +24/+8. Because this means odds dropped on the expexted team (this should happend if odds are "wrong", right?). In my first example "value" decreased form -20 to -4, because odds dropped. But it's still a good bet here (home win).

Your example is like -20/-34. This is not good, because odds dropped on the wrong team. We have now even more (mathematical) value than before. But this doesn't make sense. So maybe here we have motivation problems (it can happen in cup competitions with group stage), or the team has just a lot of important missings. -20/34 is avoid.

Muggy. (2023-10-11, Rating 4):
Hello, please help me to understand what if the AO falls bellow than the fair odds is it still concedered as a strong bet. Quick response please.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, it's still considered a good bet (because odds drop) until mabye "5" rating to the opposite direction. You can tak e OO/AO -15/+5 (as home win), but you should not tke OO/AO -15/+10 (odds dropped already too much)

Muggy (2023-10-11, Rating 5):
Also help me en inform me what are some of the motives ur talking abt that may affect the game.
Soccer-Rating.com:
For example at end of season if we have teams fighting for promotion/relegation and other teams playing for nothing.
Here we can't use soccer-rating.com, because it doesn't make sense. The motivated team will be much stronger than the computer thinkt it is (because the computer doesn't know about motivation).
Solution: Avoid games with high ratings at end of season (especially if they have dropping odds in "wrong" direction).

Kosefob (2023-09-23, Rating 5):
Great site 👍 I have just one question, on the injured player list, what does the figure in front of the player name mean?
For example F. Sanches (DF) 21/0 52

Soccer-Rating.com:
21/ 0 52
Games played (this season): 21
Goals scored: 0
Rating: 52

Herman (2023-04-03, Rating 5):
Hello soccer-rating, can I guarantee winning by choosing favourite and underdog teams?
Soccer-Rating.com:
For most bookmakers (like Bet365, Bwin) I actually recommend favourites, because odds are good enough there. No too low of course, but maybe between 1.50 - 2.50.
In Asian bookmakers like Pinnacle you can also try underdogs.

Quinto (2023-03-26, Rating 5):
Hallo sir,how do you predict a draw game?please give us the tips.

Soccer-Rating.com:
I don't recommend it.
Because how do you want to make profit with it? In 1x2 odds can be always wrong (also VERY wrong), but draw 3.30 is pretty much always OK for bookies. Just stick to 1 o 2.


petersworldwide (2022-12-23, Rating 5):
Hello Admin, what happened to the button banker bets under betting tools. It's been inactive and the page doesn't load. Regards
Soccer-Rating.com:
If a page doesn't load, it always has to do with memory problems. It can happen if you have a backtest with a too long period (serveral years). Just use a shorter period then.
Banker Bets is working for me. If it doesn't work, use e-mail contact please.

Soccer-Rating.com:
In "Banker Bets" you can fix it with time setting. Just set equal time setting (after "Save Strategy") like:
Confirmed Time: 24 - 24

Sarahaddo (2022-04-11, Rating 5):
Pls admin i thank you for your good work pls i will like to know what is the payout. For white background and bad form is it a good pick thank you
Soccer-Rating.com:
Payout or ROI is what you get back for bet. You will try to get at least 100% payout / ROI of course.
White background means this team has no dropping odds. If you take teams with high ratings, it's still OK. Dropping odds ist just one of the factors you would like to have, but there are many positive strategies without dropping odds, for example if you bet early. So yes, it's OK

Koala (2022-04-03, Rating 5):
Hi admin.
What about premium filter?
And approssimately, what payout haveI to expect to a good strategy after 1000/2000 bets?

Soccer-Rating.com:
The "premium filter" is a very old setting for premium users in Strategy Creator. It's not up to date and I will probably remove it. I just recommend not to use it.

You should go for 105% ROI in strategies. That's a good number.

David (2022-04-02, Rating 5):
Hi admin
Can I rely on the first odd move not minding if the available odd changes?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Odds should always drop on the bold team. These examples are all good bets:
Take OO AO:
-12 -5
-20 -10
22 14
10 4

And here are bad examples. They are maybe 100% ROI if you bet on "bold teams" but from my experience not much more.
Avoid OO AO:
22 25 (drop on wrong team)
-14 -20 (drop on wrong team)
21 -6 (drop is too strong and you are too late)
-26 +4 (drop is too strong and you are too late)

Your question is probably if this is still OK:
OO DO AO (Opening Odds / First Dropping Odds / Available
Odds)
-20 -12 -18

That's a good question. I think it's not as good as a -20/-12/-12. Especially the first drop is important. Later in the day odds will always go up and down on both teams (and this doesn't matter much). But the first drop is a good marker and odds should not go in the opposite direction from that point. I would avoid a -20/-12/-18 (but take a -20/-12/-5/-8) ... if these are all odds drops during the day).

James (2022-03-23, Rating 5):
Why are your betting tips not accurate.it keeps coming and going.you guys keep removing it few seconds to kick off.thats bad.
Soccer-Rating.com:
This can happen for example in Today page if you check [ ] Positive Lineup Rating (and lineup ratings will change from "grey"/expected to "red"/live numbers).

In your strategies bets will never change. And it's also possible just to rely on the grey lineup ratings of course if you want to bet early.

Koala (2022-03-02, Rating 5):

Ikenga (2022-01-19, Rating 5):
Hi Admin, happy New Year. You people are doing a great job. My question is, which odd rating exactly is considered a good odd and which lineup rating is also considered a strong one? because most times, You see a team with star but with little difference in lineup rating(37) winning a bold team with +21 odd rating(35) lineup rating?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Just from the previous post: Odds Rating is more important than Lineup rating. But well, simply the best combination would be 1) good odds rating (-10 or +10 or better), 2) good lineup rating (positive) and 3) dropping odds.
Least important is lineup rating, because you must always see it in relation to odds.

Sarahaddo (2022-01-18, Rating 5):
Pls what is the payout for positive expected lineup very important to know pls you did great thank you
Soccer-Rating.com:
If you mean to bet just on excpected lineup without checking "odds ratings": It's not working and it's not good enough.

This is also clear, because a "good team" is OK, but you need to check odds at first point. Just betting on expected lineup I see around 93% ROI. If you add "odds ratings" (negative = home win, positive = away win), you get 100% The "wrong games" with good lineup rating, but "wrong" (opposite team) odds ratings, have just 80% ROI.

thyago (2022-01-17, Rating 5):
Hello admin!

Do you think that it is better to take the bet 48h or 24h earlier the event starts? Based on odds and lineup rating of teams?

Because many times, I'm seeing that the lineup rating can change over 48h hours and this may affect the strategy i'm using. And if I wait long, sometimes odds drops so fast and i cant take it. Do you have any opinion about that?

Thanks a lot.

Soccer-Rating.com:
I'm not sure. I've checked it with the premium tips and there results are like this:

< 12 hours 104% ROI
> 12 and < 24 hours 109% ROI
> 24 hours 87% ROI (but with only 192 bets in history)

The problem with 48 hours might be, that this is probably a bet on Major leagues (UK1, ES1, IT1 ... with low profit possible).
Also odds for these games have been out maybe for 1 or 2 weeks and we bet only 2 days before (where odds are already down).

I think the perfect point to bet is the "time of first drop". And this also depends on the league.
Just make sure that you are not too late. If you bet on ES3, then of course a time of "6 hours" would be OK (because odds have been known only for 12 or 14 hours).

Scobes (2022-01-13, Rating 5):
Admin i would like to ask if ur odds calculator is well calibrated to give an accurate expected fair odds, because i think most of the time is not in tune with the bookmakers odds, i have a system inwhich i check the expected odds mysef.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, expected fair odds should be correct.
I don't know your system, but here it's based on all closing odds from the past.
If you take all closing odds, you can actually calculate expected fair odds (with only one correct solution).

But for example if a team has 12 missings, then obviously calculated fair odds with odds from the past will be wrong for this match.

However, what you can always see here is "strange matches". If a match has a high rating, then it should be observed (and probably dropping odds lead the right way).
If a match has +0 or -2 rating, then in my opinion it's not worth to check it.

里奥 (2022-01-12, Rating 5):
管理员你好,请问选择带星星的球队,长期是否有胜算呢?我看见了你带星星的对面的球队6081投注赢1385场,可以反向购买吗
Soccer-Rating.com:
Your questino was:
Hello admin, is there any chance of winning in the long run by choosing a team with stars? I saw the opposite team with your star betting 6081 to win 1385 games, is it possible to buy in reverse?

Answer:
In general you should take black/bold teams and avoid the star teams.

The strategy in Today page you are referring to is the one with betting on star teams ... and it's very bad.
Bold Teams = ~ 100% - 105% ROI ... opposite bet on Star teams = ~ 75% ROI ... the difference is bookie margin.

Of course sometimes you can think about star teams. For exmaple if lineup rating is very good and you see dropping odds on star team.
But I don't think it's possible to make a profitable strategy out of it.

Luca (2021-11-30, Rating 5):
Hello Admin, there is a problem with some teams..in example, Atalanta in Italy 1 is rated 66 today, but with the same players it usually is around 80 rating. A few days ago i saw Griezmann also rated 66..obviously a nonsense!
The problem has started last weekend.
I really like soccer rating, thank you for your work and your efforts

Soccer-Rating.com:
It should be fixed now, but it can take 1-2 weeks until all teams are updated. Thanks for your message.

Dammie (2021-09-27, Rating 5):
Hello Admin, Good morning from this end.. I want to know how you get to pick your bolded team especially when both home and away team maintain same opening rating, I.e home team(-10.07) and away team (-10.07), how do you decide which team is expected to be bolded, or is it bolded pick system working with the available fair odds to determine that??

2) is your bolded pick the same for other bookmakers too, I.e does it mean if Chelsea is bolded on your page, and is playing against Ac Milan, it will be also bolded on other bookmakers even we can't access them??

Thanks for the wonderful job, my regards to your team... Cheers

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) bold is always with this rule: negative rating = home win, positive rating = away win.
If you see a -10.07 rating, it's home win and home team will be bold

2) yes, it's same for every bookmaker. Well, excpet if one bookmaker has super huge odds. But if you have a rating like -5.00 or +10.00 it will be same in other bookmakers (there y it could be like -3.00 or +12.00 with these odds).

Huluwa (2021-09-17, Rating 5):
Hello, administrator, this website is great, benefit a lot, because just used, I want to know is; like odds rating OO-25, lineup rating home 70, visitors 60, and the home team odds drop, AO-10, such a game is a bet we should make, but what are the odds that the home team will win? In 100 of these games, how many have been successful?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Your example is a good bet. ROI should be about 108%. I can see these stats for last year with your setting:
Bets 523 Won 329 Profit 425.70 ROI 108.14%


Dammie (2021-08-31, Rating 5):
Good day Admin, thanks for the good job here..
I want to know, is the fair odd rating for league matches more accurate compare to fair odd rating in cup matches? What i mean is if a league match rating is at -/+ 35, is it more stable or better determined than a cup match rating of -/+ 35.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, it's more accurate in league matches. If you can choose between +35 cup and +35 league, I would always take the league match (except and end of season).
Even the league matches right after cup can be difficult, if there was a huge rating difference in cup before. The influence is 1/2 from previous round, 1/4 from 2nd round before, 1/8 from 3rd round before and so on.

Jan (2021-08-10, Rating 5):
Hello admin,
great site by the way. Just a question regarding calculating the payout. What odds are you using? The opening odds or the first odds drop? Which are triggering the bet? Because I suspect that in most cases we won't be able to bet with OO so the overall and true payout must be somewhat lower.
Thank you

Soccer-Rating.com:
First odds drop is used.

thyagomanhaes (2021-08-09, Rating 5):
Hello admin,

Do you think that the first 5 rounds of season is not good for picks on bold teams using Lineup ratings? I realized that the results in this beginning of European season was not good, a lot of draws and zebras

Soccer-Rating.com:
We have 3 years in history with lineup ratings.
Stats with all 3 years show the 1st round is negative (96% ROI). 2nd round should be OK (102%). Round 2 -5 is 104%.
I would just avoid the 1st round.

Ikenga (2021-08-08, Rating 5):
Again Admin, please can you explain in details the meaning of the Positive Lineup rating check box(√) and()? What do they mean when checked and not checked?
Soccer-Rating.com:
If it is checked, you see all games with at least a little advantage in lineup rating. Like ∅ 45 vs. ∅ 44 is OK for home team.
If you uncheck the box, you see all games. So for example you would also see ∅ 40 vs. ∅ 46 for a home team bet.

Mario (2021-08-07, Rating 5):
Are the odds next to each time the actual odds or just what the odds should be?
Soccer-Rating.com:
These are odds after the first drop. It's usually the time when we are betting. You should try to bet 1-2 days before start of the game.

ojambo franco (2021-08-06, Rating 5):
Hello Admin,when exactly do you always update the team injury lists for both home and away teams?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Only one time per day in the morning (around 07:00 CET).

Mason (2021-08-05, Rating 5):
I have question on lineup ratings to. Why are the underdogs with the higher lineup ratings not favorited according to your model? Take for example this play in Bolivia league.

Royal Pari Fc has 1.65 odds with lineup ratings of 41.
Deportivo Guabira is 4.10 odds with lineup ratings of 49.

Doesn't that m an since underdogs has better lineup ratings they should be the play?

Royal Pari fC you give -20 with strong chance to win.

Soccer-Rating.com:
It depends what's more important for you. We have 2 ratings:
Lineup Ratings ... which you are referring ... and "Odds Ratings" (like -10 for home win or +20 away win).

If you have full trust in lineup ratings, you can take the bet on away win. But it's always better to check also "odds ratings". These are telling you if we have good odds on our team or not (compared to previous odds from the past, a mathematical model). "Lineup ratings" are easier to understand. But "Odds Ratings" are normally even stronger ... they are not obvious ... but you can see which team has good odds. Simple solution: Just focus on games where both ratings are OK (or of course for a huge underdog bet your team only as a little disadvantage in "lineup rating").

Jayden (2021-08-01, Rating 5):
How often before a game do you have the confirmed lineup ratings? I notice most time they do not update until after the match is completed.
Soccer-Rating.com:
The check is 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes before start. Most lineups should be online ~ 15 minutes before start (in major leagues always).

Dammie (2021-07-22, Rating 5):
Hello Admin, does bookmakers like bet365, pinnacle and the rest also have strange fair odds just like we have it on soccer rating, take a match from Europa league qualification, Rigas vs puskas academy,..
Soccer-Rating.com:
The problem in European games (early rounds) is that some countries are still overrated and others are underrated. Latvia, Lithuania, Finland are all overrated (see country ranking). It means that we will have lots of bets on teams from these countries.

If you see a -45 odds rating in 1st round Conference League it's less good than a -45 rating in 5th round UK2 (for example). However, it's just a temporary problem. Ratings will be better and better every year.
I also think that in early rounds European cups the "Dropping Odds" sign should be quite strong.

Michael (2021-06-21, Rating 5):
Please admin what does -4 and -5 means, i use to think is d money line rating for thr
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, a "-4 rating" or "-5 rating" is: Odds Rating = match rating. Here you can see which team has good odds.
In your example with -4 or -5 (negative) it would be good odds for home team (not super good, but decent odds). So you would consider betting on home win here.

The other rating is for example a ∅ 56 rating. This is a "team rating" and it shows how strong the team is.
Notice that it's not enough for betting to have just a strong team. It always depends also on odds. This is why there are two different kind of ratings.

Sports Trader (2021-06-17, Rating 5):
Admin, yesterday when I checked on the odds calculator for the Ukraine vs North Macedonia team the Expected fair probabilities were home win (2.02 - 49.57%) draw (4.12 - 24.25%) Away win (3.82-26.18%). On today's page they changed to Ukraine fair price 1.99 and North Macedonia 4.07. Is this supposed to happen? Or are there some things that we need to change on the odds calculator regarding odds calculations because they are always on default..
Soccer-Rating.com:
It has again to do with "neutral ground". I changed the match from Ukraine BEFORE (vs. Netherlands) to standard (not neutral ground), because it was played in Amsterdam.

Normally fair odds won't change. Except we change a game fro m the past (set it to "neutral ground", remove "neutral ground" etc.).

For Euro Cup now the "neutral ground" setting should be OK for all matches. It was a problem in first round and I corrected it. You can check "neutral ground" for yourself on team pages. It is a star (*) as a marker.

Jerry (2021-06-15, Rating 5):
Why was India first odd move change few minutes to kick off.meanwhile I have already bet on bold.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Because of neutral ground. It was played in Qatar and I changed it just in this moment. Neutral ground is of course a bit worse for India.

Sports Trader (2021-06-12, Rating 5):
Admin on second thoughts I now understand why you use Bwin on today page. I believe so that we can take higher odds from them before they are adjusted to reflect fair prices. Or are there any other reasons apart from that? Great job 👏👏
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, the ideal combination for our "odds provider" would be "wrong opening odds" and "correct closing odds".
Bwin is better choice than Pinnacle for this.

I can also see that results improve, if Bwin is very early to publish odds (for example earlier than Pinnacle). And they are less good if Bwin is lazy and odds arrive only at the same day of the match (and are alread down).

Maybe I will try one day to take opening odds simply from "the first bookmaker who publishes odds". And we have dropping odds if highest present available odds (from this bookmaker or any other one) are lower than these opening odds.

PS.: In Euro Cup the "host problem" bothers me a bit. Technically yesterday it was a "home match" for Italy and probably a bet here. But let's see. Today we have 2 bets in Euro Cup.

thyagomanhaes (2021-06-09, Rating 5):
Hello admin,

is it good to trust on lineup ratings from countries games like Euro Cup and Copa America?

Soccer-Rating.com:
yes, of course. In Euro Cup there's a little problem with "neutral ground", because there are so many hosts (stadiums in lots of different countries). And sometimes it's even possible that the actual host is "away" team in official pairing.
As a solution, it will be always "neutral venue" for all games in Euro Cup.
Both events should be OK for tips here. Except maybe the "last round in group stage" (because of the usual motiviation problems, some teams are motiviated, others not).

Seriki84 (2021-06-03, Rating 5):
Hi, What does 5-99 odd rating mean? And Can it change to another odd rating like 6-99 odd rating or 7-99 odd rating. Please enlight me.
Soccer-Rating.com:
In strategies 5-99 odds rating means:
You include all games with +5 until +99 (for away win).
And of course also all games with -5 until -99 (for home win).

Odds rating shows that e have good odds for a team (compared to the past). A higher rating means better odds!
So 5-99 is a very basic strategy which makes sense. You get a better "price" for the team you want to "buy".

For a specific game odds rating can change over time. Think about it. We have odds rating -12 (a solid bet on home win), but odds drop now. Of couese the new rating will be a bit lower (!). Perhaps -8 or -5 ... or maybe even +4 if we have a very strong drop in odds.

Seriki84 (2021-05-28, Rating 5):
Good day, What’s rating are good today? Also please try to indicate the odd rating that’s for today page.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Check Betting Tools / User Tips.
Mabye Lithuania today, 2 games. It's only -5 for one and +6 for the other, but sometimes that's enough. We don't always need the big ratings.

This evening was South America (already played). There I didn't like the last round in group stage. This is always a problem, because of different motivation.

For today just choose a league where it isn't the last or one of the last rounds. Lithuania, Kazkahstan, Egypt should be all good.

Sarahaddo (2021-05-26, Rating 5):
Can you help indicate strong odds by a green sign still confused
Soccer-Rating.com:
A good bet is with high rating (-24 or +18 for example) and red arrow for dropping odds.
On today page these are with grey background (everything with -5/+5 or better).

Sarahaddo (2021-05-21, Rating 5):
Very good site pls can you indicate the teams who has increase in rating with a green sign will help alot eg last round 1800 live green 1900 increased rating i hope you understand sir thanks again good evening
Soccer-Rating.com:
Increase in rating is same as "odds rating" (exactly double). If you see -48 in Odds Rating it's +98 for away team in absolute rating and -98 for home team.

But it's not good for the team with higher rating (for example it has 1900 instead of 1802), because it means lower odds!( a "stronger" team means lower odds, because ratings are calculated with odds).

* all you need to check is odd rating like -48 or +15. Normally you don't need to check absolute ratings

* at end of season it's difficult because of motivation. If you want to take a team with stronger absolute ratings than before: Yes, you get a motivated team. But also very low odds and it's probably not worth it. Te best solution for end of season is AVOID (= set "ROUND" settin to max. 34 for example).

Thank you as always. Please, does close lineup rating means a possible draw? Which lineup rating means a difficult game with both sides not eager to attack or hunt for goals?

Thanks

Soccer-Rating.com:
No, I don't think close or same lineup rating is a good bet for a draw. Because odds will reflect it (and we get low odds on draw). It's not a good strategy.

For Over/Under and maybe even draw I like the information "games played/goals scored" on team pages. Like 54/5 goals vs. 47/5 goals. Here do the calculation 5/45*12 + 5/47*12 ... 12 because of 11 players + 1 own goal possibility.

5/45*12 + 5*47/12 = 2.6 = probbaly OVER = not a draw (?) ... this is from Ecuador, Emelec today.

But to be honest I don't like the draw bet at all. I can't imagine a strategy on draw which works in the long run. Still you could use the trick for OVER/UNDER bets.

Hello Admin thanks for your good work,,

Please what is the best ratings for line up ratings and min. Line up rating.

Soccer-Rating.com:
In Banker Bets setting "Lineup rating" you can also enter negative values. -2 or -3 is possible. -3 means that you will accept ∅ 42 vs. ∅ 45 for your team. I like "Lineup rating" -3, Min. Rating: 20 as a basic setting.

Hi admin,

You said in previous review to avoid teams without motivation in soccer-rating.com.

What is this motivation and How can we turn this motivation in numbers? is there a way? For example, look at the position on table and round and see if the team is already classified.

Do you have any tips?

THanks a lot

Soccer-Rating.com:
Don't bet on African teams which are already qualified. :-(
Well, of course it's true in general. If a team is already qualified, it's not a good bet (the computer "thinks" it's a good bet, because of the numbers/mathematics). I will try to fix the problem.

ak (2021-03-27, Rating 5):
Hello admin
Thank you for your prompt response.
However, how can I pinpoint motivated team? Secondly, is there any settings to display motivated team on soccer-rating website?

Thank you

Soccer-Rating.com:
I'll try to find a solution. In Africa Cup the problem is obvious. Many teams are already qualified and this means high odds, but not a good bet.

The biggest problem are cup matches with group stage (last 2 rounds) and of course end of season in leagues (here you can use the ROUND setting. For example ROUND 1-34 is a good setting).

To solve the problem it's possible that in the future we won't have -50 or +60 rating in leagues/cups with motivation issues, but just a 0 rating. It will be available soon.

ak (2021-03-26, Rating 5):
Hello admin,
Thump up for your great works.

Please, I'm confused about odd OO/OA and team rating. What odd rating means low motivation for a team an what odd rating shows a motivated team? What's the relationship between odd rating and team rating and how do they affect the outcome of the match?

Can you give me an example of odd rating for home team and away team with high motivation? Also a home team and away team with low motivation?

Is the red down arrow a good sign? What would you tell me about the green arrow if the team it's attached to is favorite?

Thank you

Soccer-Rating.com:
In Africa Cup you can see the problem. If a team is already qualified for next round, it gets higher odds.
This means a higher rating. It can be +40 (for away team) or -50 (for home team). But without motivation it's still a problem and not a good bet.

Solution: Just avoid teams without motivation in soccer-rating.com. It's a huge problem, because the computer/mathematics doesn't know about motivation. It just sees the number = high odds.

Red arrow is a different thing and always good. If you see red arrow for our team, it's good.

Hi admin, tell me the difference between Dropping Odds ↑ Rising Odds and which one is the best to bet on.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Dropping Odds = 2.30 -> 2.10, green arrow down.
Rising Odds = 2.30 -> 2.50, red arrow up.

Best is dropping odds. We get a bit lower odds, but it's a good confirmation for the bet.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yesterday was a bad day. But in general bold is correct. You must check results of 100 bets or 200 bets. Then your system should be positive (if not, change it). Don't judge it because of 1 bad day or 10 bets.

Is there a page or a way to see the complete list of all soccer-rating matches for today and the next few days? I would like to have an overview of all the matches that SR offers, without going to the specific pages of each country. Thank you.

It would also be enough that there was a way to choose a whitelist of some championships that interest me and make only those appear.

Thank you so much Admin. Please, you said "So even a weaker can be bold, if it has very good odds". My question here is; 1.can one bet on the weaker to win here if it is bold and has very good odd?
2.what exactly should the odd be to be termed a good odd?
Thanks in anticipation.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, good odd = high rating. Like >10 or >15 in odds rating. And lineup rating can be a little worse than the opponent.

Kelus (2021-03-19, Rating 5):
Hello admin. Pls I wish to ask. What advantage does the team on bold have over the opponent.
Soccer-Rating.com:
You should always take the team in bold. This is the team with "good odds" (it's not about team strength, it's about odds).
So even a weaker can be bold, if it has very good odds.
A higher rating like -25 or +32 means better odds than a lower rating.
Easy to understand: If odds drop, the new rating will be lower than opening odds rating.

Ikenga (2021-03-19, Rating 5):
Admin. Thanks so much for making out your time to explain all these to us. I really really appreciate that. My question here is; What impact is the check box at the top where you wrote"Positive Lineup Rating" to the entire games on today's prediction page? Hope you understand my question?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, "positive lineup rating" is at least +1 in ∅ lineup ratings. For example ∅ 45 vs. ∅ 44 is a bet. But ∅ 44 vs. &empty: 44 is not a bet.
It's a very good and strong rule. Sometimes you can also take a team if lineup rating is a little less than opponent. Like 42 vs. 44 for our team.

Badorl (2021-03-18, Rating 5):
Hi Admin thanks for your tremendous job and support. May God continues to shower you and your team's wisdom. Please I would like to know the rating margin difference that should be between rating of two teams. Like for example if home rating is say 47 and away is 51, does this signify a strong rating difference in the teams. Or what is the maximum and minimum difference that should be the rating difference between the home and away team.

Thanks in advance

Soccer-Rating.com:
A very good rule would be to allow -2 or even -3 in lineup rating.
-2 = You can take 48 vs. 50
-3 = You can take 47 vs. 50

I wouldn't take 47 vs. 51 for home team. It's too low.

Mzito (2021-03-15, Rating 5):
Well-done for being there 4 us.my question am betting on bold with strong rating but I loose how can I be sure this team is going to win?
Soccer-Rating.com:
That's correct. Don't change this strategy.
You can also try Betting Tools -> Banker Bets.
And there on top of page you can see 3 "top bets". These bets are very good in last days. Today: Independiente / ARG, Cherno More / BUL, Dinamo / ROM.

Andrea (2021-02-24, Rating 5):
Hello administrator, congratulations on everything
I wanted to ask you why that when (OO) is at - 30 (2.25) and after (AO) it becomes -15 (1.90) you give it as a positive score? If the rating (OO) goes down doesn't that mean the home team has less chance of winning? Why is it that you give it as a positive score?
Finally, besides looking at the positive / negative rating, the score (eg: 7/10) and the form of the team, what should you look at?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, OO/AO -30/-15 is good, because it means that the market is anticipating the same match outcome as we do. It's the normal reaction of the market (if odds are wrong, they will be corrected.) It's also good to bet early!

The opposite is OO/AO -30/-45 (rising odds). Something is wrong here. It's maybe missing motivation or lots of injured players. You should not take home team here.

Motivation is really important. If you check ratings like -30 or +35, you must check motivation. If you can't find any problems here, you can always take the bet.
The easiest setting to avoid motivation problems is the "ROUND" setting. Avoid late rounds in season > 30 or > 32.

Powermag (2020-12-23, Rating 5):
Admin,congratulations for your best job here..One question:What is the difference between line up ratings
and positive line up ratings?

Soccer-Rating.com:
You mixed something up here.
We have "odds ratings" and "lineup ratings". Both are different. Odds ratings are like -5 or +8 ... and they tell you which team has good odds (negative = bet on home win, positive = bet on away win).
"Lineup Ratings" are like ∅ 54. And here you can see which team is stronger. Obviously in betting this is important ... but as we have to consider also odds, it's not enough to bet. You need the combination of both ratings.

Dammie (2020-11-29, Rating 5):
Hello admin... I hope you and the team are doing well.. I would love to know this;
1) on prediction today, sometimes you pick the underdogs, and sometimes the favourite despite them being on the same rating number, why is it like that??
2) does it mean that since bwin odd is used for today's prediction, let's assume it picked wolves as its pick against chelsea, so will it be for other bookmakers value pick even though we can't access them....

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) The picks in Today Prediction are always based on "odds rating". This is the on with -10 or +12 or -22 (it shows if you have good odds for a team).
I'm also thinking maybe to add a feature that you can see picks only based on "team rating" (which is like ∅ 54 or ∅ 63).
The best bet is always if have a good team rating + good odds rating (negative for home win, positive for away win).
2) picks are always for all bookies. There's not much difference. Maybe in "odds rating" it would be +1 or +2 with a different bookie.

Badorl (2020-10-30, Rating 5):

Hi boss
Thanks for your great clarifications.
Please am yet understand the word ROUND.(champion league)
I went through your strategy creator page the rounds varies from each other, ajax Amsterdam (5 round) and wheras red bull Salzburg (4 round) meanwhile this is opening match for each team

Secondly. From your prediction box , mostly teams are favorite or underdog, you said and I quote " according to ratings from last round, my question goes thus:what was the last round match, do you mean the last game played perhaps cups match or leagues match.

Am confused by the word ROUND here

Soccer-Rating.com:
ROUND value is always depended on LEAGUE. We have start of season now. So for Ajax it would be round 5 (Netherlands) and for Salzburg round 4 (Austria). ROUND setting ist very important. Avoid late rounds!

LAST ROUND MATCH from pediction box is always last match, including cup & league here. Also ratings are calculated always with last match (cup & league).

No, you can't win with virtual games. You should avoid all simulations (also horse racing simulation etc.). It's a certain loss in the long run.

Hi admin,

I realized that some matches from some leagues delay a lot to display the confirmed lineup (red shirt), for example yesterday "Deportivo La Guaira vs Carabobo" the information with red shirt only showed almost 2 hours after match starts, and this happen with othe matches too...
Do you know why thsi happens? Can you ask your data provider about that? Or, do you know which leagues have this delay? Because this affects my strategy that waits for confirmation. Thanks a lot

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yeah, of course it's different in lower leagues than in major leagues. In Venezuela we can't get the data earlier. In most other leagues (95% at least) it should be OK.
Maybe you can even check if you put leagues like Venezula on your blacklist.
Main update times for "red shirt" is 4x in a hour: around 15:00, 15:15, 15:30, 15:45 for example. Sometimes a minute earlier or later.

Dammie (2020-10-13, Rating 5):
Hello admin, kindly explain the difference between 3/10 - 4/10 and 5/10 - 4/10, is there really a significant meaning to it....
2) is it the inflow of Money that influences the above prediction number or the rating
3) also why will a favorite team have 3/10 while the perceived underdog have 4/10.... A good example is Latvia vs Malta.... Thank you

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) Yes, 5/10 is better than 4/10. 4/10 is better than 3/10.
You can check these numbers and they make sense.
2) Yes, dropping odds are an important filter and they influcence 5/10, 4/10, 3/10
3) these numbers show which team is a good bet. A good bet is not always the favorite. If you are looking for favorites, you must check "lineup ratings" like ∅ 60 vs. 54 ∅. But if we speak about betting, 5/10, 4/10, 3/10 is the right path (and you can use lineup rating as an additional filter).

John (2020-10-12, Rating 5):
Hi,4/10team A- 5/10 team b means which team is good form
Soccer-Rating.com:
4/10 - 5/10 is the prediction and it means "away win". But only very little advantage.
"Form" you can see on the line above and it should be like "7 Pt". vs. "4 Pt." (7 Points vs. 4 Points).

By the way (for all other users), what's always a problem in soccer-rating.com is a) End of season and b) also cup games with group stage. Cup games with group stage like Nations league are a problem, because very often a draw is just fine for the favorite to qualify to next stage.
KO Play-Off games are OK for cup games. But we should avoid cup games with group stage (except maybe round 1, because there everybody wants to win).

Hi powerful admin. Like your answer to Comboman(2020-09-16) on quote, "But here again it's interesting to check the difference of "expected lineup" and "Live lineup" ... and of course you would take the team which has a stronger lineup than expected".
My question is, how can one check the difference of expected line-up and live line-up say, one hour before the start of the match?

Soccer-Rating.com:
You can't of course, if the red live line-up is not known yet.
However in your example, it's 1 hour before start of match. In this case I would wait another 15 minutes for confirmed red-lineup ... to be safe.
But in case you want to bet 2 days before start of match, you just have to risk it and rely on the green expected lineup.

Ikenga (2020-10-06, Rating 5):
Greetings the powerful admin!I must commend you for a powerful analysis, calculations and taking your much precious time to explain all these to us. Please am a bit confused. Just like you explained the differences in odds and line-up ratings, both the confirmed and expected line-up ratings and your confirmed line-up ratings are always updated 30 minutes to the starting time of the match according to your site, and definitely there must be a difference between the confirmed and expected line-up ratings. My question is, how can one know that your team has sure winning odds and line-up rating earlier before the start of the match since expected line-up rating may likely drop or rise after confirmed line-up shows up because I like betting games earlier before the start up time of the match?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Well, it's always a bit of risk to bet earlier. But if you have 1) good odds rating (like -22), 2) good line-up rating (like &empty 65 vs. ∅ 53) and 3) odds start to drop (red arrow), then you have 3 arguments for a bet. These are usually good ones.
Of course you always have to

Ikenga (2020-10-06, Rating 5):
Admin, thank so much for your clarifications. Please I have another question.
Just like you said that any team without motivation will have odd ratings, Example: like this(-55 or 55), then how would one know which team that has motivation and what are your advice for us on such games?

Soccer-Rating.com:
This happens normally only at end of season. You can also check that results here at end of season are not that good, because ratings are messed up.
But at start/middle of season you don't need to bother about it. At end of season you should check every game with high ratings ... if you can see a reason (in league table) why our team has a 55 rating and high odds, just avoid it.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Under/Over and draws are both not really covered here. Under/Over is certainly not. About draws you might check which look very equal. Low odds ratings and about equal line-up ratings like ∅ 45 vs. ∅ 46.

Ben (2020-09-30, Rating 5):
Oh thank you for that speedy clarification! You are great!

And yes I just saw Karvina's ∅ 25 Rating / ∅ 33 Exp and yet it is expected to win since it's bolded, but then again I saw it is an AVOID situation since a good situation (-16.31 (1.40)) gets even more sugared (-31.80 (1.50))...

Can you be kind enough to let me know how you calculate the ∅ ratings for these teams? I love it when am in control of my data and how I achieve it.

Thank you once again.

Soccer-Rating.com:
The ∅ lineup ratings are just "sum of player ratings" / 11. We have "green" expected line up rating and "red" confirmed live lineup rating. Especially in cup games it's very useful to wait for live ratings.
Individual player ratings are calculated with a mix of player stats (games played / goals scored) and also last transfer value. In short, rating of a player goes up, if he's very often in starting lineup. And reserve players will lose rating points over time.
Also the green "expected lineup rating" is assuming that the best team will be playing (without injured/suspended players of course), so it's usually a bit higher than the red rating later.

Ben (2020-09-30, Rating 5):
Hello sir, I have been reading all the posts for about an hour now and I must say great work going on here.

However, I really need to know how you calculate the ∅ rating for soccer teams. And why ∅ 30 Rating / ∅ 34 Exp and ∅ 42 Rating / ∅ 41 Exp like in the example of The Spa Kusatsu vs Montedio Yamagata match ended today on 30th September 2020? Can a team exceed the total number of ratings it must have? What does it mean for a team to have a lower/higher rating than expected??

Thanks.

Soccer-Rating.com:
It's possible that a team has ∅ 42 Rating / ∅ 41 Exp. ∅ 42 is red "Live Rating" and ∅ 41 was the green "Expected Rating". It means for example that a strong player is playing who wasn't expected to play. It's a good sign!
In general your example is very good for our team. We should be careful in opposite examples. For example something like ∅ 30 / ∅ 41 Exp. for our team. This means that a lot of important players are not playing. And it should be avoid for us (example today is Karvina in Czech Republic).

Comboman (2020-09-16, Rating 5):
Hi! Admin am really delighted for the good work u guys are doing, could u plze explain to me how team rating is based on coz they keep on changing in every games. Thanks
Soccer-Rating.com:
If you can click on team pages you can see that "team rating" is of course "sum of all player ratings in lineup" / 11.
You could even calculate what happens with team strength after a red card or after substitutions.
A major problem is surely that "Live lineup" (red lineup) can be different to "Exepcted lineup" (green lineup). This can happen in less important cup matches. But here again it's interesting to check the difference of "expected lineup" and "Live lineup" ... and of course you would take the team which has a stronger lineup than expected.

You fully understand soccer-rating.com if you check motivation and how the numbers/ratings depend on it.

For example if home team has no motivation at all, we can have odds rating -55 ... but it's still probably not good for home win. Same is true for lineup ratings.

JJ (2020-07-14, Rating 5):
I'm just a tad confused when it comes to the lineup ratings. I understand what they are, but when I do a back filter of past results, they seem quite promising. However,I cant ensure what I see is the most up to date data. For example, todays lineup rating between Vitoria Setubal v Famalicao had me betting on the 'draw' exclusive to the lineup ratings that were shown prematch. After the match, the lineup ratings show 48 for Setubal and 62 for Famalicao I believe. This would've been a 'no play' for me based on those ratings. It was close, but Famalicao scored a 90th min goal anyway and ruined it. But anyway, it's hard betting not knowing what the official lineup ratings are everyday whether they're an old rating or up to date.
Soccer-Rating.com:
In Setubal games it was 51 vs. 61 prematch (grey lineup rating) and 48 vs. 62 live (confirmed red lineup rating). That's not a huge difference and I have no idea why you choose the draw here. In both cases it's away win plus a very strong odds rating with +27.

JJ (2020-07-12, Rating 5):
When do you update the lineup ratings everyday
Soccer-Rating.com:
Main updates (for grey lineup) are every hour a few minutes before at XX:30.
Red lineup ratings can appear every 15 minutes approx. at XX:15, XX:30, XX:45, XX:00.

Not too sure how to tell a good bet when choosing a bet in the "Prediction today" section. May be am a slow learner and not getting the concept
Soccer-Rating.com:
You can check "Odds Ratings" (like -22) & "Lineup Ratings" (like ∅ 65).
With Odds ratings you can see if odds are very good for our team. With lineup ratings you can see if the team is strong.
As a beginner you can just stick to the highlighted matches (grey background) ... and maybe don't take games with too low odds < 1.50.
Today I like all highlighted matches.

Anonymous (2020-06-27, Rating 5):
I commented on this before, however my comment was never published... Your lineup ratings seem to consistently change before, during, and after matches. It would be helpful if the expected lineup provided a rating pregame, and then when official lineups are announced the confirmed lineup gets published. That's not what's happening.. the matches are consistently being switched lineup ratings. Think of how resourceful this could be if they were accurate
Soccer-Rating.com:
It's a good point.
I think it's now because lots of teams are playing 2x times a week. Lineups and ratings are updated after a new match and there are lots of updates in many days.. So it's more or less a temporarily Corona problem. It will get better ...
However, now the updates are happening 2 days after the match is played! This is a bit too long probably. I can try to make (player) rating updates the very next day after a match is played. It will be done and probably also improve results.

Hi admin! I am really excited about the Banker bet tools, but i'm missing one thing: sometimes the values in GRAY T-SHIRT is changing even if i put the confirmation to 24h. It's not commom, but sometimes happens. is there a rule to understand the variation of gray t-shirt values?

Thanks a lot!

Soccer-Rating.com:
In Banker Bets:
There are differences between the daily list of bets "on top of page". And between the list in "Confirmed bets".
Confirmed bets are always the bets which you should follow. These are the bets with your settings (at least at some point of time).
The list on top of page are "Live Ratings" / "Live Settings". They can change and because of this, the list is different (for example if odds change).

But now when I think about it, it's maybe more confusing then helping. Probably I will change it. Both lists will be same then. You would be still able to see the "Live settings", if you click on "Test Strategy".

About grey shirt in general:
In can change the whole day. For example if an important player gets injured and it's known. Or if results/stats from last round are updated. But usually grey shirt will change only with 1 or 2 rating points.
The difference from grey shirt (expected lineup) to red shirt (live lineup) can be much bigger of course.

Warrior 🇰🇪 (2020-03-04, Rating 5):
Can the round in the leagues be included. I.e if it's semi-finals, quarter final, round 27 etc be included. I think this is also very significant.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Usually play-offs are included here as a league match. If it is the case, also "Round" setting is available for these games.
Sometimes however play-offs are a "cup match" here. Then the round setting isn't available. But I can change it and the general rule is: Play-Offs = League match. Relegation match (between different leagues, 1st league, 2nd league) = Cup match.

You are talking already about end of season. Again it's very important to understand the difference between "Dropping Odds" strategies and "Opening Odds" strategies. Opening Odds strategies are always the best in Round 1 -20 maybe. After round 20, "Dropping Odds" strategies are much better (because motivation is important, also there are rarely that much wrong opening odds anymore). You can use dropping odds strategies all the year round.

Which one is a stronger odd rating for good home team bet btn -30 &-7 and away team bet as well +40 & +5

Soccer-Rating.com:
Both are very good. OO/AO -30/-7 for HOME WIN and OO/AO +40/+5 for AWAY WIN are pretty much the same and clear bets.

Don't forget to check also "Lineup Rating" (like ∅ 64 vs. ∅ 58). If you don't know which game to take, I would suggest the one with higher "Lineup Rating" advantage.

Team ratings H/A.can we rely on the first odd move using the team rating or the team rating is relied on the available odd only
Soccer-Rating.com:
The first question is: What is stronger? "Odds Rating" or "Lineup "Rating".
Here is a new test from today page. We take only "Lineup Rating" and dropping odds as a filter. We ignore "Odds Rating" and also take star teams, if lineup rating is good enough.

Filter is only Lineup Rating + dropping odds:
Lineup Rating +0: 99.97% 8238 Bets -21.80 Profit
Lineup Rating +5: 103.18% 4922 Bets 1565.60 Profit
Lineup Rating +10: 102.38% 2456 Bets 696.10 Profit
Lineup Rating +15: 107.42% 1107 Bets 821.30 Profit
Lineup Rating +20: 103.61% 441 Bets 159.00 Profit


And here is the same test, but we add "Odds Ratings" as a filter. We take only "bold teams".

Filter is Lineup Rating + Odds Rating 0-99 + dropping odds:
Lineup Rating +0: 101.70% 5138 Bets 871.00 Profit
Lineup Rating +5: 105.22% 3041 Bets 1588.80 Profit
Lineup Rating +10: 103.84% 1521 Bets 584.20 Profit
Lineup Rating +15: 113.80% 682 Bets 941.20 Profit
Lineup Rating +20: 110.22% 279 Bets 285.10 Profit

It seems you can actually take only Lineup rating as a single filter, if you want this. Lineup Rating +5 or +15 looks good for example.
But the best is always the combination of both. A good Lineup Rating + bold team + dropping odds is perfect.

Great job, a suggestion, add the graphic tool in banker strategies. and a question, in my strategy with accumulator 8, why sometimes I see 9 or 10 matches? including games from my blacklist.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Graph is available with "Test Strategy" now!

10 matches (with acc. 8) is because there can be new bets (better bets) during the day. If a new bet arrives very late ... and you already have your full 8 bets in "confirmed bets" ... then the new bet will be added to your confirmed bets.
Blacklist should work. Again it has no effect on "confirmed bets", maybe that's the case in our strategy.

Soccer-Rating.com:
It's possible to select only home in banker bets. It's next to odds range.

A notice about the "confirmed bets" table: There you will see all bets that you can see in "test strategy" and in the table above with today bets. If a bet vanishes in "test strategy" (because a newer, stronger bet arrived), it will be kept in your "confirmed bets".
So to follow bets, you would just check all bets in "confirmed bets" table. A confirmed bet never changes, never disappears.

Hi, is this strategy better for home or away teams? could you pls check if there is any difference and/or make it possible for us to check? many thanks!
Soccer-Rating.com:
Today strategy with [x] Positive Lineup Rating
ALL: 4055 bets, 486.50 profit, 101.20% ROI
HOME: 2040 bets, 437.30 profit, 102.14% ROI
AWAY: 2015 bets, 49.20 profit, 100.24% ROI

But ... I know other strategies/people who like AWAY more (in past years). The trend of HOME being better and also of favorites winning more is a quite new trend of this year/season.
Perhaps it has to do with video referee (VAR). At least video referee influences betting without doubt ... and by tendency I think favorites should win more often than they used to do in the past.

jmoley (2020-01-26, Rating 5):
Can you set the rating options in bankers I need higher ratings only
Soccer-Rating.com:
Done! Your suggestion is very a good to filter lower leagues. Now you can set "minimum lineup rating" for your team. A good value would be 40 or 50 rating.

What I like about Banker Bets is that strong filtering ("backtest") does not always improve results. Because it's a big difference if you take 5 best bets from 100 bets ... or if you take 5 best bets from 10 possible bets (filtered). So banker bets tells you if are going a bit too far with your settings and backtests. That's very cool.

Some statistics for Banker Bets: After a few weeks now, the strategies with "Expected Lineup" have a little biter better resuls than strategies with "Confirmed Lineup". We have: Expected Lineup strategies: 101% ROI, Confirmed Lineup strategies: 99% ROI.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Malaga - Mirandes is a nice example. Here we have just different signs. Let's check our 2 main filters:
Odds Rating: +9 = bet on Away team Mirandes
Lineup Rating: ∅ 60 vs. ∅ 46 = bet on Home team Malaga
Conclusion: It's simply avoid. There are better games to take. I like Malaga a little bit more ... but odds rating +9 is not to ignore (= Malaga is strong, but we have low odds). Avoid and go on to next game.

Yes, of course. There can be drops in any direction. For example OO/DO/AO ... Opening Odds/Dropping Odds /Available Odds ... this is possible: OO/DD/AO -8/-19/-12
And I like this for Home Win. The last move is more important than the first movr.

If the fair odd for Roma against parma is 1.92...and d first odd move is 1.95...and the available odd is 1.91..raising or dropping.
Soccer-Rating.com:
In most pages here it will be evaluated as "rising odds". But I like the last move more. Here in your example it was in the end: 1.91 -> 1.95 -> 1.80.
This is a good bet usually. Roma yesterday was also with a very strong "confirmed lineup rating". My tip is: Ddon't bet just because we have odds drops. After all, odds moves are always a kind of "consequence" and sould never be a "trigger". Choose your bet because we have great ratings ... and maybe avoid if odds moves are strange.

Helo admin what do you think about a match that the OO/AO are the same and odds for the match is stagnant....does not rise nor drop. Example OO/AO=11/11 or say 16/16 and the odds stays the same. Is this a good bet?
Soccer-Rating.com:
It depends if you take this bet early or not. For an early bet it's OK. For a late bet not so much.
I tested with Today page and same OO/AO (no arrow) is even worse than rising OO/AO (green arrow). This is also partly because with same odds we have more lower leagues like Iran, Arab Emirates, IT3.
So I would say for Major Leagues it's OK. For Lower Leagues it's more difficult. For my own bets I make no difference betweend dropping odds, same odds, rising odds. I take all.

thyagomanhaes (2020-01-10, Rating 5):
Hi admin, in the banker bets strategy page, it is shown the Payout , for example (111.56%) and profit (283.10). But this profit is calculated using Opening Odds, right? This is very difficult to take, so the profit showed is not real, Can we have the option to show the profit using closing odds??
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, it's correct!
With closing odds it's ~3% worse. Instead of 107% ROI it would be 104% ROI. But of course it's possible to bet earlier, up to 48 hours in banker bets strategies ("expected lineup"). And also you can try to find better odds than odds from Bwin.
But I must admit at least for the strategies with "Confirmed Lineup" setting we should use closing odds. Probably I will change the confirmed lineup history to closing odds in next days. What's true: The history stats from "Confirmed Lineup" are a bit too high. However, in "Confirmed Bets" results you can see 100% true odds (= very low odds).


Raiton (2020-01-10, Rating 5):
Once again admin.is it much better to bet on a team in bold with red arrow in gray?

What is the different beteewn a red arrow with a star and green arrow with star?

About line-up.would like to know the meaning of red shirt-44 vs 52 and 49 vs 32.which one is strong.And also between red shirt and gray shirt which one should I rely on?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Gray background is always a good hint, but it's not needed for a good bet.
It means Dropping Odds, and if odds already dropped, it's often too late.
*Star teams are always to avoid. Teams in black are to take.
Arrows show dropping odds (red) or rising odds (green).
The normal way is that you watch out for a black team with red arrow.

Lineup Rating: Of course 49 vs. 32 would be a stronger than for example 48 vs. 44 for home win.
Lineup ratings are easy to understand. You just want a strong team.

Summary: 1) Black team with 2) red arrow and 3) strong lineup rating is a good choice.
But of course it's not the only combimation possible. For me arrows are the least important from these 3 filters.

Steels (2020-01-09, Rating 5):
Hi admin,

We don't have super cup matches in general. (I've added Spain Supercopa now, because it's seems to be a serious competition).
Maybe teams are not playing with best players, sometimes it's on neutral ground, sometimes not. It's better to leave it out here.
If you are interested in this game, just use Odds Calculator to get fair odds. In Odds calculator you can also check (N) Neutral ground or not.

Hi again, is there any difference on the profit between the months? can you please check if there is less profit in the last matches of the season? maybe you could add an option to exclude the last 3-5 matches of the season. many thanks.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, exactly.
For example "Round 35 - 99" (which is recommended to avoid) in Europe is like 80% Payout and in World Leagues it's like 115% for Today page.
I believe it's because most European Leagues finish with round 34 or 38 ... and World Leagues in South America with Apertura / Clausura last longer like 44 or 48. Also motivation is different. World teams (with less foreign players) seem to be always motivated.
It's difficult to find a general rule. In the end it's all about "motivation". If both teams are motivated, round 44 isn't a problem at all.
To make it easy, you can take ALL rounds in World Leagues. And in Europe you should stick to "Round 1-34".
Also for strategies it's a good idea to make 1 strategy for Europe and another strategy for World Leagues.

Hello once again! Thanks for your advice, I will stick to Bankers for now.
For todays match Atalanta vs. Parma, OO Rating was -11 @ 1.42 and AO Rating is +10 @ 1.28 for Atalanta, Lineup difference is +13. I set the settings to confirm 16h before kick-off, and the bet got confirmed on odds of 1.28. My bookmaker of choice offers 1.32 for Atalanta.
Now my question is: At the time of confirmation, the odds had already dropped so much that the AO rating is not in favor of Atalanta anymore. Why didn't the bet got eliminated from bankers if there is such a huge drop? Is it still good to play or should I better avoid it bc there is no value left after the drop? And how can I calculate if the odds my bookmaker offers are still suitable (because higher than bwin odds)? Atalanta's team page says, that fair odds would be @ 1.37. So should I simply dont play the bet if the AO fall below your calculated fair odds?
Sorry for all these question and thanks for your help!

Soccer-Rating.com:
Play it! Bets like OO/AO -11/+10 are still good for Home Win.
Yes, of course if odds drop a lot there should be a limit somewhere. There is an easy rule that AO with "opposite sign" souldn't be higher than OO (so you would avoid -11/+13 for example) but this happens very rarely.

Fabiano (2020-01-05, Rating 5):
Helo admin once again between the OO/AO and the lineup rating....please i want to know which works better interms of match outcomes.
Soccer-Rating.com:
If you trust only OO/AO (and ignore Lineup Rating) we have in Today page:
97.43% payout for our team ... 79.49% for opponent.
If you trust only Lineup Rating at least +5 (and ignore OO/AO ... so we do take also "star teams") we have:
99.48% payout for our team ... 81.00% for opponent.

Conclusion: Take the combination of both. This works best. We need a good OO/AO and a good lineup rating.

Look at these combinations of OO/AOs and tell me which is best for a team -/+. 1. 34/44. 2. 13/27. 3. 10/10 4. 6/3 5. 16/16 6. 18/35 7. 14/44 8. 12/0 9. 5/5 10. 76/39. I will be watching you. Thanks
Soccer-Rating.com:
Well, -76/39 is super avoid. I wouldn't touch this. I also wouldn't touch -76/-76. It's just too strange. Mabye an early -76/-56 is the only combination to be worth a shot ("odds start to drop), but not the other ones.
These strange ratings have to do with cup of course (teams are not playing with strongest players in cup).
From your examples I like:
2.) 13/27 yes, I sometimes like rising odds. But not the example in 1) or 7)
3.) 10/10
4.) 6/3
5.) 16/17
8.) 12/0

Hello!
I am very confused about all the options on this website. Is there any page which explains all the different methods (banker bets, sure bets, strategies, soccer picks, Newsletter etc.) in detail, and how they differentiate from another? I cant quite tell which tool is the most useful.
Would you recommend playing picks from banker bets (each combination of settings I put in seem to lead to a profitable strategy, is this normal?), Or is it better to follow the most profitable betting picks in the betting picks widget tab?
I have so many more questions, maybe a proper community tab would be useful instead of communicating through many different review sections. :)

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, it shows development of a few years ...
The newest evolution is "Banker Bets", so you should look especially into this one. Banker Bets
"Banker Bets" is the page which combines "Odds Ratings" (-20, or +5 or -8) and "Lineup Ratings" (∅ 54 vs. &empty 48). All other pages are strategies mainly for "Odds Rating" and they suffer a bit lately.
To place a bet you need to know "Odds Rating" (what odds do we have?) & "Lineup Rating" (what team do we have?). Both is usually contradictional. If we have great odds (compared to calculated/fair odds), we might a have a poor team (compared to expected team) and vice versa.
A forum is another cool idea for next years. Now we need first of all good results in all strategy pages for 2020. Happy New Year to all!

James (2020-01-03, Rating 5):
If I'm convinced the raising odd at the first odd move is my choice... But later drop at the available odd..can I still rely on the first odd move




Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, no problem with this. If you like rising odds, you would check the combination "green arrow" for bold/black team. We don't need always dropping odds for our team (especially if it's still early).
The drops close to kick-off are more important ... and they usually have to do with known live lineups. This again we can see in Lineup Ratings. So you want of course a strong Lineup Rating for your team. For example a stronger "Live Lineup Rating" (red shirt rating) than "Exepcted Lineup Rating" (grey shirt rating).
Qatar (Al-Garaffa) today is good example for lineup ratings. We have super good odds for Garaffa, but unfortunately today a poor team with many missings.

Hi admin i have been on this platform for couple of months now, but instead my confusion is overwhelming my ability to get things here right here ( as in i dont still understand the maths behind your strategies) i want to learn so do well to interprete in simple baby language thank you..... I will just sit here n wait for your response. Happy new year.
Soccer-Rating.com:
First of all you must understand how the site works. I don't mean the calcuation (formula), but the idea behind.

* 1) we have "odds ratings" which you can find everywhere here: OO/AO. Odds ratings tell you if odds for your team are lower or higher than expected/calculated. For example let's say it's last match day in season. Our team (home team) is safe and plays for nothing. The opponent has to win to avoid relegation. Then of course odds will be set in a way by bookmakers that home team gets super good odds and odds for away team will be quite low (... at least lower than expected/calculated by a computer). It will be for example OO -51.
This is a good example to understand OO/AO... but it's also bad for the system of course, because we would bet on home team which is probably not good in this example (solution: avoid late games in season).
In general you can say: -18 are great odds on home team. +22 are great odds on away team. This is a mathematical fact. It's a mathematical evaluation of all closing odds from the past which leads to these numbers.

* 2) we have also "lineup ratings" (∅ 47) which tell you how strong a team is. This is the traditional approach of betting which you would normally do as a human. The computer does it for you. It's fast and precise ... we can calculate "expected lineup rating" & "live lineup rating". Of course not always the stronger team from lineup rating wins, but it is a great help.

Now you can choose from these 2 tools what you want to do. Not everyone will have the same ideas and bets. This is good and not bad. Maybe you find something that everyone else doesn't see. That would be fine and OK!
The tools are here. You must understand it first, then work with it. Yes, you still have to think, explore & test! But you always have the mathematical background of soccer-rating.com to help you.

Good afternoon
Can we save the top banker bets strategy by emailing us? If so, what is the best confirmed time?

Soccer-Rating.com:
E-Mail is not necessary I believe. You can see the "time setting", if you save a bet in Banker Bets page.
Banker Bets

If you set this time setting to "18 hours" (expected lineup), you need to check the page only once a day to see all bets (now it's not working, because here are no bets in next days). Always check the bets in "Confirmed Bets" table.

Which is the best time setting? Early bets means a bit higer odds (because odds tend to drop), but later bets are more precise. Just try both! Create same strategy, one with "24 hours", the other with "4 hours" before kick-off. The bets will be confirmed at chosen time.

∅ Lineup Rating for strategies is calculated by lineup difference of both teams ... and always from view of bold team.
For example ∅ 56 (bold) vs. 54 is Lineup Rating +2 (quite good). And 58 vs. 54 (bold) would be Lineup Rating -4 (not so good).

In general I believe to choose the "correct leagues" is important. I don't like leagues with very few teams in league table like: BE2, CH2, CH1. Same perhaps with leagues with a lot of teams like: AR1.

Soccer-Rating.com:
The bold teams are correct. Try a combination of OO/AO rating (+15 is better than +1) and Lineup Rating (you want your team to be strong and to have a good lineup rating).

Здравейте.искам да питам ОО opening odds букмейкъра ли ги създава?! И забелязах нещо много интересно. Например rating 9 OO 1.80 rating 11 DO 1.83 and rating 9 AO 1.80 кое прави така.,че мачът се връща на първоначалния си рейтинг и коефициент?! Забелязах че тези мачове обикновено стават draw!
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, OO rating is created by bookmakers.
AO rating is created by the market (money flow).

The normal way would be OO/AO 20/12. The market corrects (wrong?) Opening Odds = dropping odds on bold team.

Your example is OO/DO/AO 9/11/9. This is a bit strange. I suggest to check only OO/AO. This would be OO/AO 9/9 ... and avoid in your example, at least no clear sign in dropping odds.

With The Banker settings, is the lineup rating -10 for the selected team or the opponent.? And is there anyway i can increase or decrease the lineup rating in the settings button. Thank You!!
Soccer-Rating.com:
Lineup setting in banker bets is the difference. So ∅ -10 would mean you allow even a disadvantage.
Like 44 vs. 54 for your team.
It's recommended to change it for example to +2. A setting "2" would accept 56 vs. 54, but not 55 vs. 54.

Soccer-Rating.com:
You want to know why "Odds Calcaulator: YES/NO" indicator on team page somteims changes from YES to NO (or the other way).
This depends of course on odds. With Opening Odds it can be YES, but if odds drop/b> a lot, then this indicator can change to NO. Because we have just too low odds now. The other way is also possible if odds rise.

Hello Admin, why are your opening odd different from bwin opening odd atimes if you get your odds there..

2) if oo at bwin is 2.30, and oo at S.R is 2.10, does it still mean they will maintain same bolded pick or there would be discrepancy in the bolded pick because of the slight oo change..

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) Opening odds can be different if Bwin has very EARLY opening odds (like 3 weeks before). The rule here is to open a match if it's at most 2 weeks before kick-off + it's the NEXT home/awyy match for the team.

2) Well, if we don't see the drop in "SR odds history" (opening odds -> dropping odds -> available odds), there will be no bold pick. "Bold picks" depends of course on the definition of "dropping odds" ..

Soccer-Rating.com:
Very high ratings (or difference "opening odds" / "fair odds") have mostly to do with "motivation". The team in bold is not motivated.
You can see it in Champions League / Europa League today.
This is also the reason why don't I like too high ratings. It's good to avoid OO >40 or maybe OO >35.

If we have very strong odds like 3.50 -> 2.00 I don't think it's a trap from bookies. They just missed something at start ... for example different motivated teams. But yes, a complete odds history on team page would be useful. From my experience the time in odds history 1-4 hours before kick-off is most important (odds should drop in that period, not rise).

嗨。亲爱的管理员辛苦了,我才发现你们更新的银行家,
我想问你累加器1-8 是什么理念排序的? 累加器1和累加器2一直延续到8....... 我想理解这个新模式。谢谢

Soccer-Rating.com:
About bankers bets (in Prediction Today) I recommend to use:
* higher accumulator for Friday, Saturday, Sunday (maybe acc 6 or 8)
* lower accumulator for all other weekdays (maybe acc 3 or 4)

I'm also thinking about even more settings for bankers bets.
For example to exclude leagues that you don't like.

In general I think bakers bets can be really good and it's worth to invest time in it. Because it combines both elements that we need for a good bet. We need 1) good odds (if you search for a bet by yourself ... without ratings ... you often forget about it), but also 2) a good team (if you search for a bet by yourself ... withot ratings ... you will usually focus oly on this part).

Soccer-Rating.com:
I like it best if you make this combination:
* Bankers Bets ... with Dropping Odds

And YOU decide what dropping odds is for you. You can use red arrow here as a quick indicator, but you can also use odds comparison sites (there again check for lots of "red arrows" for your team).

Changes: Bankers Bets with "Expected Lineup" setting shouldn't change - except if a NEW game arrives during the day and it is better than the old games.

fabipoche (2019-11-29, Rating 5):
One question, what is more important? the OO or the lineup? Which bet has more value, one with OO -1 and 15 lineup, or other with OO -15 and 1 lineup?
Soccer-Rating.com:
That's a very interesting question.

Test with Prediction Today:
OO >=20 Lineup >=1 869 Bets 493.10 Profit 105.67% Payout
OO >=1 Lineup >=15 617 Bets 590.20 Profit 109.57% Payout


The graph in 2nd example with Lineup>=15 looks very constant and the graph in 1st example has a lot of ups and downs (as we all know). This is surely because of odds range. A high lineup rating means lower odds.
Here is another test to ignore Odds Rating and to follow only Lineup Rating. Prediction Today (bets with dropping odds):
Lineup >=15 Ignore odds rating (= also take "star teams" ... if the star team has LR >= 15).

980 Bets 358.70 Profit 103.66% Payout

Ah, it gets worse. The additional ~400 bets are obviously not good. So we need the combination of OO and LR.
You can verify the good results of LR by yourself with "expected ROI" from Bankers Bets (change Bankers Bets setting to see "expected ROI" ... use lower odds range & lower accumulator to simulate higher LR power).

Of course in LineupRating LR "granularity" is much more precise than with team ratings OO/AO. Do bookies check Lineups in every single game for making odds? Or do they just check the TEAMS (league table, results) to create odds?

thyagomanhaes (2019-11-26, Rating 5):
Hi,
Amazing new tool in "Banker Tips" with the odd interval. But I have a question: The odds interval comes from the odd that show in prediction today page, for example:
1.57 3.60 6.00
or they come from the team page in the Opening Odds ratings (OO) ?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Exepcted Lineup: We check "Opening odds" for odds range. The idea is that the selection doesn't change too often and with opening odds they are fixed - except for new bets which can arrive during the day.
Confirmed Lineup: We check "Closing odds" for odds range.

My advice is to play less bets at weekdays! For example take 5 bet at Friday, Saturday, Sunday and only 3 bets at all other days.
And also I don't see it as a problem that selections sometimes do change. It just depends on time you visit the page. For example at 06:00 there can be little different selections than at 12:00 (for example because a new bet arrived!). This doesn't make the old selections from 06:00 worse, it just means that we have now an even better bet to choose.

Apologizes. But the problem is only now.
It's because national teams get ratings ... sometimes during the day ... and it changes the bankers. In the future it should not happen. It also doesn't mean the bankers which drop out are "bad". They are just 6th rank instead of 5th rank for example.

How much increase in AO is good for the favorite and how much is good for the underdog.? Would be very happy if you can clarify this. Because sometimes underdog gets more than 10 increase from OO to AO which suggests a bad bet but still wins and vice versa.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Dropping odds are really not important anymore in 2019. It's not a strong sign for a winning bet.
It's better to focus on Opening Odds Strategies and you can certainly take even a late match with OO AO 9 9.
However, I like avoid of rising odds, especially when we have already a high OO and AO gets even higher.

OO AO 10 20 is AVOID for example, but OO AO 1 11 can be TAKE.
If you want a general rule, I would say +10 in odds rating is avoid.

Warrior (2019-11-06, Rating 5):
Exactly what we need. Thank you for the banker bets admin. Good job always.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Thanks, new banker's bets are sorted by proportion of strength!
It's not sorted by ∅ 50 - ∅ 40 but ∅ 50 / ∅ 40. That way we get more bets from lower leagues (because 50/40 is stronger than 80/70 ... and even than 80/65), but maybe that's a good thing, because these leagues are often under the radar elsewhere.
It's a good addition to other pages here. And again it was an idea from "reviews".

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, this is another interesting idea.
You know about the setting "Lineup Rating Advantage" in "Betting Picks" and "Strategy Creator"? This is same idea. Lineup Rating Advantage = lineup difference.

In "Betting Picks" I like to test lineup rating with "1x2 Opening Odd Strategy" and there check the difference between 0-99 lineup rating advantage and -99 to -1 lineup rating advantage (yes, use negative numbers to test!!!). It's quite strong.

I'm not sure about a sort function in prediction today, but maybe I can add something like the "banker" link here: Bankers
Very strong games of the day on top of page with:
- bold team (good odds rating), - favorite odds, - sorted by lineup rating advantage.

About the NO CUP INFLUENCE STUFF, CAN YOU CLARIFY FOR ME WHICH OF THESE TWO SIGNS MEANS YES AND WHICH ONE MEANS NO ✅ and ❌?
  Because more times even with the cup sign attached you still end up picking the wrong bet.

Soccer-Rating.com:
These two signs show a winning or losing bet. They have nothing to do with cup influcence. Cup is always shown with the cup symbol.
And the cup symbol means it's either a cup game or a league game right after a cup game (which can be tricky for several reasons, also perhaps because one of the teams had a difficult cup game and the other team a rest day).
To make it easy: By tendency avoid games with cup symbol.

legion (2019-10-31, Rating 5):
how do you calculate lineup rating??
where do you get the data of lineup or live lineup??

Soccer-Rating.com:
Expected lineup (grey shirt):
We do it completely by ourselves. Mostly we take the same team from last lineup. Injured players excluded.
It works quite good, only sometimes very "strong" players are NOT playing in confirmed lineup, but they are included in our "expected lineup" ( maybe they are injured and we have no information about it).
This also means that "confirmed lineup" (red shirt) is often a few points lower than "expected lineup" (grey shirt). But this is true for BOTH teams, so it makes no big difference!?

Only in cup the expected lineup can be really wrong, if not the best team is playing.


Confirmed Lineup:
We get it from our data provider and you can trust "red shirt" of course. Very rarely some players with similar names are mixed up, but it shouldn't happen often.

Player ratings: Are also done by ourselves. It's a mix of "last transfer value" and player stats (games played/goals scored). Older players have stronger ratings than younger players ... to show how important a player is for his team. Player rating is not only "individual strength", it's more how valuable he is for his team. Also for example if a player is transferred to another team, his first rating at the new team will be a bit LOWER, because he has to adapt to his new team mates. In next few games his rating will recover to his full potential. The same happens after longer injuries.

2maniac (2019-10-31, Rating 5):
I need an a better explanation for the NO CUP INFLUENCE. What does it mean if it marked, and what does it mean if its crossed. And how big an impact or change does that have on the outcome of the game.? Like yesterday's game in brazil, Vasco Da Gama VS GREMIO.
Soccer-Rating.com:
You can see in "Prediction Today" that cup games often have huge ratings. Let it be because the underdog team wasn't rated rated correctly before (... a very old rating), or the favorite is playing with reserve team (... in UK League Cup for exmample).
Now this will have influcence on ratings for next league match (!!!). Influence is always 1/2 for next game, 1/4 for the game after and so on. So if we have -40 in a cup game, it would be normal and no surprise to have +20 in the next league game ... to get equilibrium and to have same ratings as before.

Influence of cup is strong. So you can avoid the next league match after cup. [x] Exclude 1st match after cup in strategies. In theory it will make your strategy stronger (payout), but mabye you still lose profit, because we have fewer games.

zbandi (2019-10-31, Rating 5):
Hello admin and all the praise for your work. I have one ambiguity for today. Let's take the Eibar-Villarreal match. OO = 11 (2.90). At around 3pm, the odds on Bwin were 2.65 and on Pinnacle 2.92. My question is, is Villarreal's win at 3pm good to play given the odds on Bwin and Pinnacle? Or is Bwin late for the other bookies?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Bwin is always late.
By tendency I like it more if Pinnacle has lower odds than Bwin for a certain match ... than the other way round like in your example.
Villarreal is quite OK (Odds rating, Lineup rating). What I don't like is "odds flow "/ market reaction + "form" of Villarreal (2 wins in a row, last game convincing 4:1 win!). In form we should think anti-cyclic. Good form is often suspiscious. Villarreal has great form and we get even higher odds than before?
If it is in your strategy with fixed settings, take it. But I wouldn't choose it manually.
A good tip for today 31/10 was "Al Ahli" / Saudi Arabia, as a positive example. Almost no odds drift in Pinnacle, but strong odds, good ratings and also form check is OK (which means not too great form).

Boka (2019-10-31, Rating 5):
Hey I'm I correct to say there's only an average of one or two good matches a day to pick from excluding weekends? It seems quite tricky for me when I'm not at least 90% certain a match would come out positive irrespective of the ratings.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Depends. But what's important to know is that "World" leagues are usually a bit weaker than European leagues (which are mostly at weekend).

Michael (2019-10-27, Rating 5):
If closing odds are the most precise odds, we just need to bet when we think AO is higher than closing odd. Ex. I bet team A @2.15 24 hours before starting match, and closing odd is @1.75, I got a 53% value. Isn't it?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Clever, but how do you know closing odds?
If you make a virtual backcheck this way (you bet when odds were higher than closing odds later), I'm sure it's profitable, but of course you don't know closing odds before.
What's important is to discuss perfect time of betting. I believe now betting quite late on match day is not worse than betting very early. Yes, you lose some value in odds, because they may have already dropped (which can mean -0.10 or -0.20 to your profit), but you also can avoid that one losing game which adds +1 to your profit.
I just don't like "Live Betting" during the match. This is too late. Anything before is OK, for example just after confirmed lineup ratings have arrived.

What you want to find here is a low ranked team where you beleive it deserves to be ranked here. This will be an underrated team and it's good to take it.
Of course you can even take the highest rated team, if you believe the difference to 2nd ranked teams should be even hihger. But general rule is: TAKE underrated teams which are low ranked and AVOID overrated teams which are high ranked in this list.

Yes, increase in AO means it's unpopular. Well, if there is a new injury of a very important player or just a strange "confirmed lineup" you will see a rise in AO.

But I use some systems where I don't care about drop or rise (because after all you get even better odds after the rise). These kind of systems bet very late of course. Just before start of the game.

Of course sometimes you can find reasons why we have higher/lower odds. For example in China there will be motivation issues again. Team which play for nothing will be underrated in soccer-rating.com, teams which play for championship will be overrated (mathematically speaking!). It's probably wise just to avoid late rounds in leagues.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, but drops and especially money flow can be trusted!

The idea is that bookmakers set wrong opening odds (a wrong bias on "successful" teams).
Not necesserarily because the bookmaker doesn't know better, but because he wants to maximize profit.
A normal bettor or beginner in betting business will never bet on bold teams and he will like the "star teams" (not bold).
But of course this is wrong. It's still the same team (same players), but now ... after the winning streak ... you get lower odds as before.

Bookmaker -> makes Opening odds -> a bias on teams with good form, high in table and so on
Punters / Money flow -> correct wrong opening odds. Drops can be trusted in general.

I like to say: Every good bet must have droppig odds. But not all bets with dropping odds are good bets.
And it makes still sense to bet on a game with OO/AO +22/+22 ... because there you would expect odds to drop LATER.

Murcia was a tip in "Live" (23|14).
Huelva was OO AO 18|-2 and it's not a tip in live, if second rating (here -2) goes to opposite direction.

Yes, I understand your intension because I also like to discover new opportunities with your fantastic site,but on the other hand I like to follow something that works( newsletter 1.06 is something that I like and I'm more relaxed when something looks good in a long run, hope that newly created will be at least half successful as the current one:) )
I have one more question?
Since l read a lot of articles in last few weeks about Kelly staking plan, did you ever backtested for example Newsletter 1.06 how it would work with this staking plan?
More precisely: a higher stake at a higher value, a smaller stake at a lower value(maybe a scale from 1-10 unit)
I know this is much more complicated staking plan and a lot of works before placing bets than a simple flat stake, but maybe the result is better or ?
I'll try to keep stats from today for the next 100, 200 picks of newsletter 1.06
I also read in your reviews that you are fun of chess :) So, I'm curious what is your rating in chess ?
I also like to play chess but i'm not very successful( my rating is something like Stockport County team here, but I am making progress :)

Soccer-Rating.com:
I'm not a big fan of staking plans, especially not for those which increase stakes after losing (you have a bad run and you increase stakes???).

Kelly staking plan makes more sense (higher stakes with higher value, lower stakes with higher lower value) and
the idea must be to make it dependend from OO or AO rating.

I tested once again with "Today" page and this system:
Basic Stake: 5
OO >= 10 Stake 6
OO >= 15 Stake 7
OO >= 20 Stake 8
OO >= 25 Stake 9
OO >= 30 Stake 10

... and the absolute profit decreases from 1,149 to just 574 units! It's because you only stake 5 or 6 in the lower rating range instead of full 10.
Conclusion: If something is profitable, always stake 10, even if it's just 102% ROI. Always go full risk mode!

About chess: My chess rating is ~1900. I'm very bad at tactics, but quite good in strategical positions.
I like to have a longer term plan (to checkmate, maybe to sacrifice a piece to achieve this goal ... or to create a trap) and I feel the only plan of my opponent is to grab that pawn at the side of the board.
However, a lot of times the +1 pawn still wins in the end! ;-)

Stalker (2019-10-09, Rating 5):
I strongly disagree with providing clear profitable tips for newbies and especially not 24-72 hours before the match. This would be unfair to old, loyal and paying customers who needed years to develop profitable strategies themselves from scratch. Playing with all the filters in Strategy Creator and Picks, tuning and shaping odds, ratings, leagues and then waiting for months or even years to see whether our settings yielded profitable results or were we just lucky because we fell to the trap called data mining? At the same time risking our own hard earned money, pain of experiencing next max drawdown, joy of achieving new all time high... So big no-no from me - everyone should develop their own successful strategies himself.

If I was capable to learn everything about the site during my time here, I dont know why anybody else couldn't do it with enough passion, skill and dedication. Its not that hard if you want to.

The Owner of the site, who I hugely admire for this amazing system he created and especially for sharing it with the world (he could've kept it in his local PC and harvest huge money from the bookies alone!), is responding to every question here in comments and there are also tutorials on how to use Picks and Strategy Creator for those who want to read it.

So all the info is already on the site, yes its not served on the silver plate, but for me it was even greater fun to learn new things each day and improving my strategies month by month. And believe me, I still learn new things about this great site just when I start to think I know everything.

Also this is the main reason why using this site is not so expensive at all and for those who are willing to learn is huge value for our money compared to other tipping services which are mostly joke and scam. If everyone could know ideal settings, then there is no reason for subscription price to get much more expensive.

So many thanks to The Owner who shared his brilliant system with us and not keeping it in his PC and please leave the things as they are - its much more fun this way. And of course, keep giving tips and hints to new users but without revealing it all. ;) And sorry for big text. :)

Since many people do not understand what to bet on,which recommendation to use, why just not create a clean betting recommendations which are available (profitable in long run )for example 24 hours before start to 72 hours ?
Just clear picks with good OO rating,bolded teams,dropping odds,rounds from 2-30,confidents etc ie. with only most important things ?
And of course with stats of how strategy works?

Something like newsletter 1.06
I also do not understand all things in Prediction Today section even I am for many years with your site and in betting world in general, espacially after I read all comments,reviews about this.
On the other hand, just keep doing such a good job, because really everything you've done is top,superb,excellent...
Have a good time and job

Soccer-Rating.com:
Thanks for your comment.
One basic element of soccer-rating.com is to discover lots of things by yourself. It's even possible to spot something that others didn't see (yet), including me. I want to have "all doors open" for you, and I want you to think instead of follow.
Your are also referring to Newsletter 1.06. This is a paid newsletter with tips from us (110% ROI, if anyone wants to join, mail me using "Contact" link at bottom of page). We might add some basic tips how to use the site for the paid users in the future.

Admin, you guys are simply incredible. One needs to just understand the strategy then all else falls in place - IT'S IN THE OO!!!
Thank you for this great service!

Soccer-Rating.com:
OO is very important yes. In Today page a stragey with >=20 rating (instead of >=7 rating), 1 year history is: 1,584.40 Profit, 104.91% Payout, 3228 Bets.
This is also what I recommend for any beginner as a start. Increase OO to a number that you like, for example >= 20.
However, I also have strategies with rating >=8 or >=10. It's also possible, but here you need additional parameters like ∅ lineup rating (must be better than opponent) or form (for bets we like if form is worse than opponent).

vincentakins (2019-09-15, Rating 5):
Hello admin, pls when the best time to start betting on dropping odds, because recommended grey bet still rise before the beginning of the match and game still lose even betting on favorites
2) can you make this page update automatically for dropping odds, without checking on team page,if our recommended grey bet drop or rise

Thanks

Soccer-Rating.com:
The best time is always as early as possible. However, the strategy is "anti-cyclic", so it may be that in some cases we have rising odds for our team (and here you can wait for placing the bet of course).
You can see this with combination OO/AO rating. For example OO/AO on a grey tip with -20/-26 (???) is a little problem (we expect OO/AO -20/-12) and not ideal. I will try to include AO in Today page in some way.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Serious betting on goals (Over/Under, also both teams to score) is impossible. First of all you have only 2 options, which means it's more difficult to beat the bookmaker margin.
And secondly Over/under is very much a statistical bet with too low variance and too much luck involved (also because the aim is to win the match, it doesn't matter if final result is 1:0 or 6:2). Don't bet on goals. Goals, and also Asian Handicap, is good for bookmakers. 1x2 is good for us.

Nick (2019-09-09, Rating 5):
Hello Admin,
1) Why are some games on a white mode instead of grey despite having a higher opening rating...
2) What criteria was use to split games into white/grey mode... Answer to question 2 is quite important to me.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Rules for Today page:
OO Rating 7 - 99
Round 1 - 32
Odds Range 1.10 - 7.00

I remember yesterday was a match from Bolivia (white) which looked good, but it was round 34.

Hello SR,
Amazing stuff!Really impressed.Have a question about the strategy creator. In the default set-up the trigger for the game to be shown in strategy creator is dropping odds,right? If OO=AO, no drop, the game wouldnt show? Also those games with let¨s say OO rating>15,20 but without further drop,would u have data on how many of them would be good to bet and the success rate? Because as I understand there is no need to wait for the drop in odds,right? As long as the OO rating is>15,20 and there is no raise (at least not a big one) for me it is a good bet.And as with time with decreasing rating the odds losing its value I¨m trying to establish a system with betting those bigger OO ratings games as soon as possible... Thank you

Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, for "Strategy Creator" the trigger is Dropping Odds in Bwin ... and if it is true, we bet with odds from Bet365.
I tested your idea with Bwin odds.
* The drop is still important.

OO > 20, 1 Year history, Today page
Dropping Odds 3238 Bets, 1,452.20 Profit, 104.48% ROI
Same Odds 1573 Bets, -943.90 Profit, 94.00% ROI
Rising Odds 1217 Bets, -264.90 Profit, 97.82% ROI
All: 6028 Bets, 243.90 Profit, 100.40% ROI

I believe here the filter OO 20 is important. OO 20 is really a lot. And sometimes there are REASONS for a 20 rating (= no motivation, missing players, financial problems, reserve players in cup games ...).

What we know is: We have strange and unusual odds. We might be wrong with our guess of the value team or correct. If we are wrong ... well, probably odds won't drop. If we are correct, they will start to drop ... but we are still in positive territory even after the first drop with maybe OO/AO 23/12 or OO/AO -20/-11.
= but of course you don't need to wait for the drop in BWIN and you can check drops which already happened in other bookies for all OO 20 matches.

There are positive strategies with Opening Odds in "Betting Picks" (= Pinnacle). I don't believe it's possible with "Strategy Creator" (= Bet365) or "Prediction Today" (=Bwin), because the average payout is too low there.

Admin sorry what is the work of fair odds in a game final odds or is off no use why is their thank you
Soccer-Rating.com:
You can consider "fair odds" from team page. But I never do it. It's same as ratings and I just look at ratings.

Tiger (2019-08-23, Rating 5):
Ok I was saying if the match rating decreases and the opening odds ,drop odds and available odds don't show can I take it or leave it because sometimes match ratings they are rising and odds are getting low other side match rating decreases odds are rising explain this for me please
Soccer-Rating.com:
Ah, OK. But both should be the same. For example if you check team pages and there you see a decline in ratings, then you will find the same decline in "OO Rating" or "AO Rating".
Remember: A decline in odds rating or match rating is a good thing, because it means higher odds (the same team is rated weaker and gets higher odds than before).
So anyway, YES, you can take it.

Tiger (2019-08-23, Rating 5):
Hi admin..can you please help me here if the match rating have a decrease and OO does not show the decrease but it is showing that from previous game the match rating changed with -25 can I still take home win
Soccer-Rating.com:
I don't understand your question. We have OO (opening odds rating) and AO (available odds rating), and also DO (dropping odds rating) if you want this.

Example 1) OO|DO|AO -25|-25|-25 this is take ... also without a drop (=grey bet), because it's a very high rating. Without drops, everything >20 is pretty safe.
Example 2) OO|DO|AO -25|-12|-25 this is a bit more tricky, because first odds went down, then went up. I still like it and would take it, because again the -25 is a very strong argument.

Jerry (2019-08-22, Rating 5):
Team rating H/A..when you using -9 as opening odd. Can this (1690.32) that is dropping in available odd still high. Knowing that you are using -minus as an open odd
Soccer-Rating.com:
Don't understand your question. If OO is -9 and team rating is 1690.32, everything can still happen.
If odds drop on our team ... value reduces ... this means it can be like OO|AO -9|-2.
If odds get even higher on our team ... value gets bigger ... this emans it can be like OO|AO -9|-18.

Grateful if you could give a hint as on what data can i use according to your prediction for betting on Halftime/full time. Thanking you in advance.
Soccer-Rating.com:
I don't have odds data for Halftime/fulltime, sorry. I don't see a problem with it, however I would prefer to bet just on straight HOME or AWAY win. At least try this for some time. Don't make it too complicated.

Hi,
Most of these 'underdogs' with odds over 3.00 tend to end draw, just as in the Wolves/Manchester Utd game (though the Bilbao/ Barcelona game was cool). A click on the game says bet on 1X, but then the newsletter says straight home win.
Would you please advice on how to go about the stake? Should I bet home win first, then double the stake on 1X so as to come even in the event of a draw?
Thanks in anticipation of your response!

Soccer-Rating.com:
Just bet straight wins. Home win or Away win. The more risk you take, the more it pays out in the long run.

Soccer-Rating.com:
It can change a little, because the "draw calculation" is a problem. What's fixed in ratings is the advantage of one team vs. the other (like 54.34% vs. 45.66% strength). What's not fixed is the probability of a draw. It can vary, also shortly before start of the game. Let's just say, fair odds calculation will never change > 0.03 odds.

please am confuse with the rating between southampton and Liverpool lineup rating. Please kindly explain why Liverpoo lineup rating was lower than Southampton lineup rating

Soccer-Rating.com:
Rating here was OO -14 = home win Southampton advice. It doesn't mean that Southampton is stronger. It means that in relation to strength odds 7.50 are very good and 1.42 for Liverpool is too low.
Ratings like OO -14 or OO +32 refer to odds and which bet should be placed.

David (2019-08-12, Rating 5):
why do the fair odds rating differ from the team rating?? thank u
Soccer-Rating.com:
Because fair odds ratings are from match before (new ratings = ratings from newest match, but you can't use these for predictions, because they are same as odds).
So to see "ratings used for prediction", you can check it in odds calculator.

2maniac (2019-08-10, Rating 5):
Almost all your games have CUP INFLUENCE MARKED. Makes selection of games very difficult even with higher odds ratings. Even with good OO ratings and grey selection of grey bets, you end choosing more bad games than good. Can you do something about that.? Bring in more games where CUP INFLUENCE IS MARKED X. Thanks!!
Soccer-Rating.com:
This is probably due to start of season.
But actually there is no problem with CUP. CUP is good, esepcially for "dropping odds strategies" (= grey bets here).

Available Odds Rating (AO) -5.92 (2.65)

Do you consider the first odds move or the dropping odds before selecting the bet.?

1) If OO rating of grey bolded picks are fixed before any drop... Can we pretty assume the bookie must have done their homework well before release of their own OO too?
2) I noticed the your grey bolded recommended teams mostly have value at OO before further drop, how correct am i

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) Indeed we know "fair odds" before bookmakers release odds. You can see this in odds calculator. We like it, if bookmakers are a) wrong in opening odds and b) correct in closing odds. This is ideal scenario and main reason why we choose Bwin for rating calculation.

2) yes, calculated value starts with >=10 rating (more or less) and strategy is >=7. I still recommend to be careful with huge rating numbers. However, lately it seems that big ratings are mainly a problem at END OF SEASON (motivation ...) and not so much at START OF SEASON. End of season will always be a problem here, start of season seems OK now, because all different leagues in a country are balanced and rated correctly relative to strength. Last team of 1st league has same rating as first team of 2nd league.

2maniac (2019-08-06, Rating 5):
And i would like to know exactly the reason why some games are in dark bold.? Is it because odds dropped too much or because they don't have a good lineup rating.?
Soccer-Rating.com:
2maniac, not all games are winning ...
Dark bold / grey in "Today" page is one of many strategies. OO rating 7-99, ROUND 2-32. All games with these filters are grey.

If i use the opening odd to fixed my game..an im going to bet on dropping odd,but it later high at d available odd.. Does it have effect on my choice.
Soccer-Rating.com:
If odds "drift" too much (in wrong direction), it's not good. But they really need to drift a lot to be avoided.

We have ratings for Opening Odds/Dropping Idds/Available Odds.
Possible avoid for your example: OO/DO/AO -12/-4/-23
= Availble Odds rating is +10 points higher than Opening Odds Rating
No problem would be -12/-4/-10 or even -12/-4/-15 (well, it's not optimum, but still profitable in history).

Soccer-Rating.com:
* Yes, team rating like 1844.43 is based on bookmaker's odds.
* lineup rating or player rating like ∅ 65 is 66% "last transfer value" and 33% "player stats". We have again the market (= money) in calculation, but also stats with games played / games scored.
It works quite well, at least for my favorite team. Stronger players have stronger rating. There is a little bias on older and experienced players, but this also reflects how important a player is for his team.

hello admin, how do you come up with prediction that pick the big odd, because on a general note, most punters would always pick the smaller odd...
1) is the big odd pick by value rating?
2)if yes, since home/away maintain same rating number (+/-), how then do you pick bigger odd atimes.
3) is it that your fair odd/value system is the one automatically assigning pick or your team is the one manually picking the team.
Thank you for the good work... cheers

Soccer-Rating.com:
I like very much what you say in your introdcution. :-)
Because it's exactly what we want!? To be anti-cyclic. In theory we don't even need any mathematics for a BET, we just need to find a way to do the OPPOSITE of the masses.

1,2) You can see value in RATINGS. If you have the impression that we take more big odds than low odds, it's just coincidence ... or maybe not, if mathematical value is more often found in big odds than in low odds.
3) always automatically.

In soccer-rating.com we have a strong mathematical factor ... which are the ratings. Soccer-rating.com ratings are based on all "closing odds" from the past. Ratings are a mathemtical fact and only one correct solution is possible (which you can see here)!!
However, it's not always that easy, because everything is dynamic. Teams change: Players come and go. This is why you should even question a -80 rating (= Home win advice). Mathetmatical value: Yes. But what else did change in teams?
Still we get an edge and advantage if we always bet on high ratings. Buy low. Sell high ... is the idea.

Jeff (2019-07-23, Rating 5):
If we have something like this

Fair odd 1.88
Dropping odd 2.90
First odd move 2.50
Available odd. 2.00.

Should I still consider d 2.00 odd as a highing odd since is higher than the fair odd

Soccer-Rating.com:
No, you must check Opening odds -> Dropping odds -> Availble odds to see if it's dropping or rising.

Possible is for example 2.50 -> 2.10 -> 1.90 for a clear drop (take!) or 2.50 -> 2.40 -> 2.80 for a rise (be careful! ... remember to avoid if difference OO|AO is > 10 points).

Fair odds is not needed to check dropping/rising. Fair odds is always included in ratings and something else.

For example this means no Indonesia (1752) and no Thailand (1790) right now. Also most South American Leagues are not profitable, at least in "Today" page.
Continents from Best to Worst are clearly EUROPE -> ASIA -> AMERICAS. Lower leagues need higher ratings. If you use a strategy with "only ratings > 40", then you can take lower (all) leagues.

It's just avoid. Don't the opposite of OO advice.

Kelus (2019-07-16, Rating 5):
Like u wld say 10 point rise is ok. How many point is usually ok for a dropping odds. I realise that much odd dropping is not so good. So how many point odd dropping is ideal.
Soccer-Rating.com:
A good idea to avoid is if we have
* low OO rating (<=10)
* and AO rating is already in "opposite direction"

Example for AVOID:
OO/AO -10/+1
OO/AO +9/-2
OO/AO -10/+12

This is also a good filter to avoid lots of lower OO's in general.
With higher OO > 10 I don't see a problem in dropping odds, because somehow a strong drop if often a very strong sign for a win.
So I do take OO/AO +14/-22 for example (= away win, always follow OO advice).

2maniac (2019-07-15, Rating 5):
I have a very important question to ask...
How do you know if a team is underrated by the bookmakers or overrated.? Is it with the odds.? or ratings.? I just want to know how you're able to figure that out.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Ratings are calculated from odds.
Odds => lead to Ratings
Both is more or less the same. "Underrated" means that odds for this team are very high, compared to odds from the past.

Once again I can assure and confirm that these little sentences with "underrated" and "overrated" are 100% mathematics and proofed. If you know all closing odds from the past, you can actually CALCULATE "expected odds" for the future (!!). There may be different approaches HOW to calculate it, but the RESULT should be always the same.

However, in some cases we have an "underrated" team (mathematically), but it's totally justified. This can be, because this team has many INJURIES, lots of SUSPENSIONS, really BAD FORM, low MOTIVATION and so on.

So for predictions we have the mathematically side (which we can rely on) and of course we have a speculative side (teams are not static ... what changed from last game to now?). The trick is to mix both and this is possible with a good combination of odds rating and ∅ lineup rating.

The best way to understand soccer-rating.com is to study a game where a team has low motivation (at end of season, because they play for nothing). There will be huge ratings like -50 or +60 and advice will be to bet on this team with low motivation, because the computer of course can't undertand it and will just see "great odds".

Hey, how is it that some matches you say "avoid" turn out positive even with heavy odds rising?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, but I can test it over 1 year period and confirm it.
10 points rise is OK. > 10 points is avoid.
-12/-22 is TAKE. -12/-23 is AVOID.

Is OO only for the team selected or for both teams.?

Also does a drop or increase in odds affect both teams or just the team with OO.?

Again i would like to know if there is an increase in AO for the home side, does it mean a decrease for the away side and vice versa.?

Soccer-Rating.com:
OO and also increase/decrease is always for both teams.
This is the concept of ratings. +12 points for one teams means -12 points for opponent.

You said you like rising odds( little ) for your team.. And i want to ask how little should it be.? Because it's confusing sometimes when the odds on your team doesn't rise above 10. It's kind of confusing picking out which team to win.
Soccer-Rating.com:
"I like rising odds" is not completely right. It's better to say "I don't care about (little) rising odds".
The normal and perferred way is always that odds drop.
AVOID for me is 10 points rise. For example +13/+24 or -8/-20 is avoid.
Do it like this: Choose some leagues you like, select games with OO rating filter (OO 8 or OO 10), avoid those with +10 points rise.
It's possible, but not necessary, to take and consider only "grey bets" (dropping odds).

What's the strongest odds rating for cup matches.?
Soccer-Rating.com:
In cup ... and also with national teams ... you need:
* higher rating
* you can trust "dropping odds" more than in league matches

So in cup + in national teams I would suggest to take only grey bets (Dropping odds). You can still use OO 8 or OO 10, but watch out for dropping odds (= grey) and take only these.
This is because maths don't work the same way as in league matches. Very often players are rested or motivation is different.

Nick (2019-07-10, Rating 5):
Hello SR, 1)does your money flow principle influences the odd/rating to either (underrated, overrated or slightly of both)
2) how true are your fair odds to other bookmakers.(esp pinnacle,bet365)
3) how true or reliable can you rate your money flow system because some bookies odd changes from yours toward last minutes... example is vitoria ba vs cuiaba, the home odd team increases late mins against yours, and it affected my initial stance on the match..
Most importantly, you guys are doing a wonderful job, it ain't easy to create a betting profit system and maintain it... Cheers

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) I don't think that we influence the market, if you mean this.
We watch the market. And what soccer-rating.com can do very well is to find "strange matches" / stange odds. Because this is just mathematics after all. The question is if strange odds are justified or not ...
2) Around 10% better. Bookie has 90% payout. With our tips you can make at least ~100% ROI. If you like to do the opposite, you make ~80% ROI.
3) Changes in last hour usually have to do with known "Live Lineup". Here you can use the ∅ Lineup Rating for help. In case of Brazil B there are lots of new players right now, transferred from other leagues. That's always difficult for any computer system (also for bookies).

Other advice - mentioned very often here - is to avoid World Leagues, at least lower world leagues.

Q2

Soccer-Rating.com:
You must also know odds if you consider Lineup rating (in contrast to "Odds rating" - where you don't need to know odds). So your question is difficult to answer.

1) Just in general, look at OO rating first.
2) Check Lineup rating after this (if our team is big underdog in odds, of course a little disadvantage in lineup rating is OK).
3) Then make sure that odds on our team don't drift/rise too much - a little rise by ~10 rating points is OK. You don't need dropping odds.

Yes, I don't see a problem with that.

In "Dropping Odds Strategies" (= all grey bets in Today) you can take ALL matches, also influenced by cup.
In contrast to this, in "Opening Odds Strategies" (high rating, without dropping odds yet) you should be more careful. Check team pages and make sure that a huge rating isn't just the "correction" of a cup game before.

This is a good site but we need a much better working strategy than just better on teams with higher ratings and in bold. It hasn't worked that well so far. Thanks. Would be very much helpful if you can clarify things better.

Soccer-Rating.com:
1 - 6) Dark/grey is a recommended strategy. OO rating for this strategy is at least 7. You can also choose games which are not grey (with high rating).

Tips for (automatic) strategies:
* Avoid World Leagues! This is very useful. All European Leagues are OK and normally also national teams.
* if it gets too complicated, use "Betting Picks" page and create your own strategy

Tips for choosing games by yourself:
* it's very important to understand the relationship between ratings and Major Leagues / Lower Leagues.
A -30 rating in Indonesia 1 is different (= less strong) than a -30 rating in Sweden 1.
* check ∅ lineup rating
* by tendency take teams with bad form ... avoid teams with good form = think anti-cyclic!

You need experience, that's normal. But patterns are always the same. After a while you can understand what's good and what's not (a lot is about "leagues").

Both YES. Remember the drop is not too important.
The key strategy are ratings. Drops are very useful for AVOID decision rather than TAKE. For example -25/-40 is AVOID. A big rating gets even higher? Very strange.

Soccer-Rating.com:
To analyze "Tunisia" you just need ratings (OO/AO -9/-9) and maybe "Prediction" from team page (7/10).

The problem in Tunisia is that odds dropped only temporarily for TN in Bwin ... not in other bookmakers. So technically we don't have a drop sign. And without odds drop, a -9 rating is not much.

I don't think it's a super good bet. However, it will be in "Today Prediction" statistics and maybe you try it.
Today the best is "Osters" / Sweden ... with quite high odds though.

Regarding National Teams in general I see similiarities to "cup games" for club teams. This means for example: A drop sign for national teams is very strong. Odds Rating (a low one, like -9 or +12 WITHOUT drop) is less strong and probably not enough.

Very confusing in picking teams.
You pick bold with dropping odds teams and they still lose. Very frustrating sometimes. Got any idea on how to select the best of the best of the winning teams.
And i got a question if you OO/AO -11/4, WHICH team did odds drop for in this one.? Home or away.? And which team is the better of the two to win in this case.?

Soccer-Rating.com:
In OO/AO -11/+4 odds dropped on HOME (AO is closer to zero and not increasing). And it's still a good bet on HOME. It's avoid for me if odds drop further to -11/+11 or -11/+12.
More important than dropping odds is a high rating. You want to avoid OO +7 or -7. Also not good is if a high rating is rising (+25/+31 is avoid, but +12/+17 is accept). It doesn't make sense if a very high rating is getting even higher, but with medium rating it's OK.

2maniac (2019-06-23, Rating 5):
When can you tell is a change in the increase and the decrease in an AO is too much or too little.? Like in this game;

EXAMPLE
Zweigen Kanazawa VS Niigata Albirex .
OO|AO Ratings are -3|-10

There is an increase in AO for home team which is bad right.? But home team still won. Is it because the increase was only -7 difference which is too small a difference to change the outcome of the game.? Or it should have been more than -7 difference.?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Here it was only OO -3. OO -3 is avoid anyway.
Well, if you MUST choose a team here, you would take HOME, especially because of the AO -10. Also ∅ Lineup rating was good.
Still I don't think it's a winner in the long run. Better example would be OO/AO -10/-17. Do we take this or not? I would say it's still OK, but for example OO/AO -10/-20 is avoid. Same "tactics" can be applied for drops. A drop OO/AO -10/+5 is also still OK, but OO/AO -10/+10 is avoid.

With OO/AO you can see the "value" of a bet (how strong the bet is). Fair odds are 0 rating. You understand this 100% ...
What means for example OO/AO -12/+8 ? * There was a good bet on HOME. * then odds started to drop on HOME quite strong * and now it's maybe even better to take AWAY, becauses odds dropped so much.

I would like to know how you arrive at deciding which team is the favorite to win amongst the two teams.? Is it by the odds given.? And how do you arrive at knowing that a team is overrated or underrated. Thank You!
Soccer-Rating.com:
Well, this is a very basic question. Do you mean "favorite to win" or "best choice for a bet"? Both is different.
For the latter, we have odds ratings OO & AO. Positive rating = take AWAY, negative rating = take HOME.
Only this is important for betting. It would be too complicated to explain it further. Just trust it. It's a mathematically value ... and if you are good at betting you can see that it works.
Odds ratings are anti-cyclic. That means ... if a team is NOT performing very well in the past, has an unexpected losing streak, mabye many injuries and so on ... then we will likely TAKE this "ugly" team (and others won't). Because the mathematically value will be strong. We will get higher odds on this team than before.
This is also why I like to consider the ∅ lineup rating from "Today" as a 2nd factor. Because here you can see who is the stronger team ... despite missings/injuries. It's opposite approach .. and more naturally.
If both ratings OO/AO & ∅ Lineup point to same team, it should be a good bet.

Do these signs ✅❌ have any significance on the outcome of the game.? What am trying to learn is, if there is an increase in the AO of a team, should the sign be ✅ or ❌.?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, these signs from team pages are useful.
You can see in "Sure Bets" page that ✅ 8/10, 9/10, 10/10 are all well in profit.
A drop of AO is normally good (dropping odds), increase is bad. But on team page it's a MIXED SIGN, because a too strong drop can result in too low ratings (we like OO/AO -14/-7, we don't like OO/AO -14/+22 = here odds dropped already too much). So your question depends on how strong the drop/increase is. It's not always the same. But many ✅ are good of course.

2maniac (2019-06-19, Rating 5):
Checkout the AO on the colombian vs qatar game, there's been an increase in AO but you have this ❌14.74 (1.34) and there's been a decrease in qatar's AO but you have this ✅14.74 (9.75). Why is it not the other way round. And in this case which team is the best to put your bet on.?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Here we have OO/AO +28/+14. This is a bet on away win.

"Opening Odds Rating" & "Available Odds Rating" on team pages just checks if rating is >0 or <0. Positive rating is check for HOME & negative is check for AWAY.

What I meant before is: If odds drop on a team, it's a sign to bet on this team. But on the same time dropping odds means we have lower odds now (!) and reduced value.
You can find this thinking in ✅ and ❌. "Dropping odds" are ✅, but in the same time the new AO can be so low that "Available Odds" could change from ✅ to ❌.
But to make it simple: Just check for many ✅. Your choice is Qatar, away win (or X2).

I just don't like bets with too high rating (>40).

Score prediction is not possible here, sorry. But high ratings (especailly the very high ratings) means always a special game ("strange odds"), for example unexpected winning or losing streaks for one of the teams. So you can try both teams scoring and look out for DARK color with highest rating of the day.

Hie admin you said you bet anti cyclic. Can you pliz explain why you chose that.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Well, a bet is always balanced.
It's quite obvious that in betting industry the majority of players is winning and only a minority is making profit (which balances the bet).
You want to avoid to bet on teams with winning streaks, you want to avoid to bet on teams which are first in league table and so on.
By the way, the same thinking makes it also difficult to bet on "dropping odds". Because here we choose again the path of majority. "Dropping odds" are very useful if we have a ton of bets and want to pre-filter it, to have fewer games to choose from. But they can't be used alone as a setting for good bets. For me they are more like a "confirmation", not an "indicator" or even "trigger" of a good bet.
The preferred way is if you bet early on "white bets" in Today ... and they become "grey bets" a few hours after your choice. This is possible if you consider: match rating (>=8) + ∅ lineup rating advantage (+1 or +2 for our team).

BACK "Team X" means to take "Team X" (straight win).
LAY "Team X" means to avoid "Team X" (use 1X or X2 bets = double chance or straight win on the other team).

It's easy: Always take the team in black. And then of course you can choose straight win (BACK our team) or safer option 1X / X2 (LAY the other team).

Next good bets are in "Japan" and "Sweden" (starting Saturday 2019-06-08). I will have 1-2 bets in these two countries in next days.
Late round is a problem and the easiest way is to avoid last 4 rounds in every league.

A realistic ROI is 105% payout if you follow the basic rules. It's also possible to have up to 120% ROI.
Grey bets are good, but we don't always need grey to have a good bet. We need a high "Odds Rating" (>=8) and a good ∅ Lineup Rating.
Check next Saturday. What do you like there? Some good bets are present and they are not grey yet.

Soccer-Rating.com:
The main problem for many European leagues in month May is "end of season" and different MOTIVATION. Ratings don't work if one team is fully motivated and the other not.

Try to avoid "last 4 rounds" of a seaon in all leagues. For example Premier League has 38 rounds. You should avoid round 35, 36, 37, 38.

Form is a very, very minor factor. Just be careful if our team had W in last game.
In general: Good form for our team is bad, bad form is good. That's anti-cyclic betting and just the same as ratings (it doesn't seem to be logical, but most people will take teams with good form, so it's a good idea to take the other side in a bet.)

Soccer-Rating.com:
Your examples are all Home Win.
The combination "High Rating" + "Dropping Odds" is the easiest and recommended way to bet.

It's also possible to take bets like +23/+23 or -15/-15 or even -15/-19, but it's more complicated and here other factors must be considered like ∅ Lineup Rating for example.

If you want it simple: Choose high rating (>10), wait for a first sign of Dropping Odds (-20/-14) and then bet as early as possible.

Team X is overrated = Don't take this team. AVOID it.

For your team you want to have a low odds rating, because it means you get higher odds than normal (a cheap price for the same "product").
Same is with "rating graph" on bottom of team pages. There you will look out for a low point. The lowest point in the rating graph was the best moment to take this team.

b) live betting.
c) strategy creator.
d) betting picks.

I'm waiting for Pinnacle odds ... Lower Pinnacle odds than average odds now would be better sign than higher odds. Also I believe in games with "motivation problems" you can wait quite long before you place the bet. ∅ Lineup rating (confirmed red shirt) is helping too.

NK Rudeš is slightly underrated by bookmakers. OO|AO Ratings are 4|1 ↓. What does (Stake 4/10) implies?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Just don't use too high stakes. Also this one has OO|AO 4|1, and this means avoid anyway. Anything with OO rating <7 or <8 isn't worth to check further.
End of season is difficult. :-(
Maybe try to search in Scandinavia, Ireland or World leagues for better choice in May/June.

Give me 5 simple steps which would make a good bet, whether it's dark grey or not. What 5 keys things do you look for, and think 'this is a good bet'

Thanks again.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Grey is good but not needed. More important is OO rating (8 - 40 ...).
So you would scan Today page looking for ratings in this range. Also very low leagues (like Kenya) are not interesting. ... in Kenya it's different and only those with grey background (dropping odds) should be considered.
Candidates for today are:
Ukraine Zorya (OO 27)
Belarus Soligorsk (OO 30)
Switzerland Luzern (OO 32)
All with high ratings to keep it simple, but also rating 8 can be as good as rating 30. Although of course rating 30 is still acceptable if odds drop (because the drop will be like 30|22). Soligorsk and Luzern look good.

The betting tip always shows 1x2 odds. Also in 1x or x2 tips. So with 3.90 odds for AWAY, I guess 1.80 for X2 is OK.

Yup. Remember that you can see on "Today page" Bwin odds only. Now search for better odds / other bookmakers and you have nice profit.
Also now (May) we have the most difficult period of the season, because of well-known motivation problem (teams with different motivation). It's still profitable ... but a good idea to avoid gams where our team has NO motivation anymore and other team is still fully motivated.

I don't understand the sequence of your concept. do I have to take AO as my original odds from fair odds or do I have to look at fair odds after OO or AO please can you try to tell me what exactly is your concept says it is confusing me ..or do I have to focus on the ratings more than odds what how does it goes
Soccer-Rating.com:
OO is the most important value to check. OO decides what to bet (home or away).
Then of course odds can drop and there must be a barrier where you stop betting (because odds are too low). In theory this barrier is the zero (0) rating, but you can take even a little lower ratings. Like -14/+5 ... is still a good bet for home win, because the most important sign here is OO (-14).
I never check "fair odds", because it's same as ratings. If you have a high rating >7 or >10, it will be automatically >= "fair odds".

Hi admin
Please am confused when I discovered some of your team rating GRAPH LINE some increase by 30 or 35
Even some increase with huge number like 60...
So please doesn't matter where we've huge amount of odd rating like -85 whereas on the home team rating GRAPH LINE increase by just 25

Soccer-Rating.com:
We have OO ratings (Opening Odds) and AO ratings (Available Odds). We decide what to bet with OO rating (which can be huge). The graph will increase/decrease by AO rating (which is often a bit lower, because odds drop on our team).

Also in theory we assume for future bets that closing odds are correct and true, because we use these as prediction for next round. And we doubt opening odds, because we think it's often overreaction for example because of bad results before.

Dickson (2019-05-15, Rating 5):

Soccer-Rating.com:
What do you mean? Ratings are important.
Ppening Odds Rating (OO) decides what to bet, because it shows where we get high odds. Negative = Home Win, Positive = Away Win.

Kelus (2019-05-13, Rating 5):
Hello Admin,

Can you explain when odds drop from positive to negative or from negative to positive.

Also what is your advice eg Opening odd 9.0 increase to 57.0.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Something like -20/+5 is usually OK and still a good bet on Home Win. It means a huge drop, but you can take it.

Something like -8/+12 is not good and odds dropped already too much. If both ratings have opposite direction then just make sure that first number is still bigger than second number.

+9/+57 is also avoid, because it means a huge drift. Again here we can accept little drifts (like +9/+15), but we should avoid large ones (like -9/-25).

Kwadwo (2019-05-13, Rating 5):
Dear admin,
Could you explain me what Is exactly the lineup?
Wich Is the stronger team to bet Just using the lineup?
Thanks in advance forse all.
You are fantastic

Soccer-Rating.com:
With Lineup Rating you can see strength of both teams.
The combinaton of "Odds Rating" and "Lineup Rating" is good, because both have different views. A high odds rating can be because of lots of injured or suspendes players ... this would be ruled out by a proper lineup rating rule or filter.

Here is statistic from "Prediction Today" page, European Leagues, grey background.
Our team has worse lineup rating than opponent: 93.85%
Our team has stronger lineup rating than opponent: 102.52%
Our team has at least +5 stronger lineup rating than opponent: 107.36%

Again it seems to work better with European than with World Leagues. So you might try this combination:
* European League & Grey Background & at least +5 lineup rating

You guys are the best I've come across the internet! Thank you for your kind effort.
Is it safe to bet on bold teams that don't have dropping odds yet?


Soccer-Rating.com:
You don't need dropping odds for early bets. High rating and white background is alright. In most cases (maybe 70% or 80 % with rating >=20) odds will drop later.
I don't like "green arrow" for our team though, but even this is sometimes accpetable ... if the drift is not too big. OO/AO -15/-20 is OK for Home Win.
Check the new ∅ lineup rating for assistance. If odds rating is good (>=10), lineup rating is also good then take it

Dam (2019-05-06, Rating 5):
Can you explain why your BOLDED team doesn't have any movement as against other bookmakers that moves the odds of the same match..
1) Does it mean your odds are already accurate against theirs hence their own movement or it's just a false odd signal/movement..
2) Talking about rating value, using liverpool vs barcelona as example with rating value of 83.. Does it mean other bookmaker would be around that value... Thank you as i await your feedback.

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) odds in Today Prediction shows the first drop. Of course odds can drop further. It also means you should bet as early as possible with dropping odds, mabye 2-3 days in advance.
2) Liverpool vs. Barcelona has VERY strange odds rating because Barcelona played with reserve team in league before (vs. Celta Vigo). This is confusing mathematical ratings and it doesn't mean that -83 is a great bet on home win. It's just no bet. A solution for system is to set a maximum rating for bets. For example odds rating 10 - 50.
PS.: Here you can try to understand why Liverpool has -83 rating. Examine the team page of Barcelona and watch the Celta Vigo vs. Barca match with odds.

Best site ever. Just one proposal, is it possible for you to indicate the elo lineup rating on Today's prediction underneath the team odds for teams starting today and tommorrow (48hrs) instead of indicating them just before the matches are about to start? Some of us punters use the lineup rating indicated underneath the odds to make precise picks.
Soccer-Rating.com:
I really think that new ∅ lineup rating is very good and more precise than what bookies are doing. Because bookmakers always have the bookie margin and can feel quite safe with approx. odds.
In lineup rating we consider strength of every player. If important players are missing, it changes the bet.


About your idea:

I will make a simple check button. There you can decide to show all team ratings right away or not.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Europe has the problem of late season. For example USA is great now to bet, because it's round 2 or 3 in season.
In Europe with -38 rating you must check league table (motivation).
If both teams are fully motivated (like in round 2 or 3), it's OK. If you see problems with motivation, I wouldn't take it.
... I checked Croatia for you. No, I don't like Rudes.

Today Prediction shows bets right after the first drop. It can be wise to scan also upcoming days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) for grey bets.
I like the easy rule to take games with huge dropping odds below zero rating, if the rating drop is not further than opening rating.
Example: OO/AO -15/+14 =take OO/AO -15/+16 =avoid

Absolutely awesome. Have really discovered how to use Today and betting picks for consistent winnings. Hope the bookies dont manage to influence your work or shut you down.
Soccer-Rating.com:
It's not possible I think, because the majority will pick the other teams. If you ask another punter or a betting forum, they will take by 80% the opposite team (not bold) ... especially if we don't have dropping odds yet.

PS.: I also want to remind you that ROUND (setting) is important. Try to avoid large rounds >30 in season. Because at end of season obviously motivation gets important. Some teams are motivated others are not. Also only one game with different motivation for both teams (and strange odds) is enough to inherit and influcence ratings for all upcoming games (influence is 1/2 for next game, 1/4 for the game after and so on).

For EUROPEAN leagues you can take everything with grey background starting with >=7 or mabye >=8. Here I like to avoid high ratings with >40 or >50, because it's just strange.

Also of course if you see grey background, but odds don't really drop (because direction changed meanwhile), you wouldn't take this bet.

I don't use the setting "percentage of value". It's approx. the same as ratings anyway.

Cup: Yes It's no problem. Maybe avoid first match after cup, but not cup itself

Soccer-Rating.com:
With match rating you can see if we have good odds or not. It's a simple mathematical calculation. If we have higher odds than normal (higher than in all games before from history for this team), it's a big rating.
Ratings >=10 or maybe >=6 are good bets.
Then of course you can consider other factors. The new ∅ lineup rating or the prediction 10/10 from team page.
Usually you will scan for example the "Today Predcition" list and look out for interesting bet. If you find something, you click on team page to check ∅ lineup ratings and prediction.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Green arrow is rising odds for our team and usually avoid. Red arrow for our team is miuch better.
2500 is a "team rating". It has nothing to do with a good or bad bet (this depends on odds). You can see with team ratings if a team is favorite or not ,but you can't see if it's a good bet. The bet is decided with "match rating" (like -12).

First odd move -16 and AO - 0.6. Now, Atletico won d match. I tot with d odd moves Deportives stands more chance for a win or draw. I really want to understand this.
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, nothing wrong with Tolima. I've just checked stats with this setting (-17 rating, World, dropping odds) ... and it's 106% payout.
With 106% payout and 2.30 odds you can still lose a bet. But it was OK.

Kelus (2019-02-21, Rating 5):
Why do you mark OO/AO with good and bad. What does it mean?
Soccer-Rating.com:
It just means that we get "high odds" (team is not necessarily favorite, but has grat odds).
Negative rating = great odds on HOME.
Positive rating = great odds on AWAY.

Also here the drops are only from Bwin.com. You may check in other bookies if odds drop there. If yes, take the bet, even if it's not confirmed grey here (... because Bwin is late).

from history: 7-10 is not that good, and if you don't take it, it's OK. But there's also difference between major leagues (UK1, IT1, ES1, DE1 ...) and exotic world leagues.
Major leagues can accept lower ratings, I think down to 6.
Exotic leagues need higher ratings.
Here are some stats from TODAY page:
7-99: 100.10%
10-99: 99.98%
15-99: 102.17%
20-99: 102.91%
30-99: 105.09%

Hi, what´t the meaning of the grey fund. Sometimes I see good rating -30; -40,etc, or the opposite for visitor team, without the grey fund. For another way I see the grey fund with teams with bad rating, for example today the game Arezzo/Juventus U23, Rating only 8!
And the game NKana/ Al Hilal tating -28, wihout the grey fund. Regards

Soccer-Rating.com:
Grey is a recommended tip / bet.

It needs "dropping odds" to become a recommended tip. In Nkana I also see grey background.. Maybe you checked it earlier (and odds didn't drop yet)?

In "Live Tips" page sometimes a good tip is not grey, because odds already dopped too much. OO/AO -27/2 is avoided in "Live Tips", but a tip in "Today". I still like -27/2 and I would take it.

Rules for today page and grey:
* Rating 7-99
* Odds are dropping in Bwin.com
* Round in season: 2-30 (some bets with high rating are avoided because of late round! Late round is not good, because no value if all teams have played each other 500 times).

jmoley (2019-02-07, Rating 5):
can you explain math rating
Soccer-Rating.com:
Odds lead to a fixed "team rating". For example same odds for home & away team (like 2.55 3.30 2.55) means same rating for both tems. This is a fact and can't be changed by "settings".
"Match rating" is just the rating difference for a team from current round to previous round. Let's say in round 11) it is with new odds "team rating" 1640 and in round 10) it was with old odds "team rating" 1662 => then we have have a (-22). We will bet on this team, because we get now much higher odds than before.
Again this is a mathematical fact. The only problem could bet that higher odds can be sometimes justified (lots of injuries/suspensions, no motivation, important players left the club, very bad form ...). So sometimes you have to think, if a (-22) is "great" or "still not enough".

Soccer-Rating.com:
OO/AO -5/+5 is either AVOID or HOME WIN.
Remember: OO is more important than AO.

But to be honest, +5 is not much. For me it's AVOID. Good bets start with +7 or +10.
OO/AO -21/+3 is better example and here it's HOME WIN.

Even if Ao is better than OO I must just ignore for example Ao is -5 OO is +13 I must ignore

Bold teams are being beaten like hell hahaha. may be it's me who is wrong but I can't make profit with these guys no
Soccer-Rating.com:
Soccer Rating is "anti-cyclic" for sure.
But that's the idea in a bet. If you take the side where fewer people stand, you should win in the long run.

Besides, Soccer-Rating.com is mathematics. If you see a (-22), it's not only the rating from soccer-rating.com.
= It's the mathematical rating, if all closing odds from history are true.
This has some value. It's like a changing price for a thing or service and we "buy" it, if the price is low, and we "sell" it, if the price is high.
This can't be wrong after 1000, 2000, 3000 bets.

3) If the ratings drop from 30 to 5 can i still take it as a good bet

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) Yes. Take.
2) OO/AO 21/30 = odds drop on the other team (not the bold team). Avoid.
3) It's great. Take.

Tom (2019-01-12, Rating 5):
Hi can you please try to explain on each game the disadvantages of the bold teams and the advantages so that all punters will understand you better that's my request
Soccer-Rating.com:
A bold team with high rating usually means there is "disadvantage". That's why there are higher odds than normal after all.
The most common reason will be bad form for bold team.

It's possible to analyze these disadvantages (bad form, missing players ...) and decide if it's worth the new match rating.
But in a computer betting system you will just take everything with a certain rating ... and this also works. I would recommend this. Don't make it too complicated.
Only with very high ratings >50 or <-50 it's worth to check the match in detail ("what happens here? why do we have such strange odds"?).

Leo (2019-01-11, Rating 5):
Hii! 1) I want to ask you as you said if the home team is -32 and the away team's odds are going down which team will I take? 2) secondly if I click on the teams there is a where you rate the teams like (h/A) ratings but if I look down I see high rated team on top is now low rated which team again can I take?
Soccer-Rating.com:
1) With -32 I would take home team and ignore odds movement. Except you see good reasons which "justify" a -32. This can be different motivation (home team is unmotivated, away team is not).
2) don't confuse ABSOLUTE ratings (= team rating) with RELATIVE ratings (= match rating). The team rating (like 1940.34) tells you which team is favorite. The match rating (like -32) tells you which team you should take for your bet. A -32 means we have great odds for home team.

Leo (2019-01-11, Rating 5):
Umm you guys you are contradicting yourselves because in other statement you say I must take bold teams and the other 1 you please say I must bet against the bold please try to put your predictions simple on a match for example Finland vs Estonia you just say Finland win simple
Soccer-Rating.com:
No, you should never bet against bold team. Either you take bold team or avoid.

Finland vs. Estonia today is special, because not the best players of both nations are playing (today is not standard FIFA firendly date ... most players will be at their clubs). It's also AVOID.

But if this would be a World Cup Qualification match (with best players & both teams having still changes to qualify = motivation), it would be Home Win (-14)..

Secondly and also very important. Can you include beside any team whether they are aggressive or defensive.

1) yes, to add number of games played and maybe goals for injuries & suspensions is a great idea. I will probably do this.
2) the other idea is also nice to avoid DRAWS. Here I think about goals scored from league table.
The team with most goals scored will get 100% in offensive index.

奇怪的赔率 评级10分-50分 我应该怎么理解不同的分段带来了影响,能否详细说明一下?
Please explain Strange Odds 10 -50 ?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Of ourse rating 20 or rating 30 is stronger than rating 10.

For example Today page is like this:
rating >=7 = 99%
rating >=40 = 110% (with ~350 bets in a year).

Problems to consider with high ratings are:
* in very Low leagues, ratings will be much higher than in Major Leagues. A -40 rating in Armenia is different (maybe not so strong) than a -40 rating in Spain 2 (strong bet).
* avoid first or late rounds in a season. Late rounds especially where both teams have different motivation.

"Strange Odds" page shows also very Low Leagues.
In "Today" page we have mostly Major Leagues.

Which one among the openings odd and the first odd move is the best odd....and which one is the matchbook..and also which one is the Average odd
Soccer-Rating.com:
Bookmaker is Bwin.
There are many possible strategies. For example try to take only highlighted bets with rating >=30 or >=40 from Today page.

By the way, ratings show strong odds compared to last game of both teams. Sometimes even a +10 can be a great bet, for example if you can't see any reason why the bold team has higher odds than before (reasons can be: new injuries, suspensions, bad form, no motivation).

Andy (2018-12-20, Rating 5):
From a comment you responded to...you said to win with soccer ratings you have to know odds using zero ratings...2.55 330 255....my question is these..if i happened that a draw get a odd like 3.50 or 3:30 or 3.40...can i see it as a highing odd
Soccer-Rating.com:
I don't understand your question. If odds are 2.55 3.30 2.55, then odds rating can be everything for this example.
It can be -21 or +34 ... or maybe even 0, but that would be just coincidence.

Zero rating = fair odds. If in your example fair odds are 2.10 for Home Win, then rating would be approx. -20 (= tip on Home Win, because we get 2.55 and fair is 2.10!).

David (2018-12-18, Rating 5):
Your site is awesome i really like it but im still yet to understand how the ratings go....you said you are using a bookie using average in paying out low....where exactly is the average that you take your odd direct from...and also where exactly do bookie that pay out high get there own odd from...thanks
Soccer-Rating.com:
All odds you can see here on Today page are from only one bookie: bwin.com
A bookie with higher payout will just have higher odds (for example 4.20 instead of 4.00).

By the way, you can use bookies like Bwin or Bet365 very well for bets on FAVORITES (like 1.50 or 1.60). Odds are always OK for favs!
Mainstream bookies are just difficult with underdogs.
There you have to find different bookies with bigger payout. Pinnacle for example, if they allow your country.

About strategy pages here:
"Betting Picks" = odds are from Pinnacle
"Strategy Creator" = odds are from Bet365

If you like favorites, take a look at the Strategy Creator with low odds.

Pls i really need this answer.....if you are convince that the first odd move that drop is your pick...and same odd that drop at the first odd move later get higher above the dropping odd in your available odd...should i still see such odd as still a dropping odd
Soccer-Rating.com:
Let's say:
Opening/Dropping/Available
OO / DO / AO -21 / -11 / -31 = AVOID!
OO / DO / AO -21 / -11 / -15 = TAKE!

You can still take it, if available odd is below OPENING (!) odds, even it's a little bit higher than DROPPING (!) odd.
For complete analyze you should check these 3 numbers: OO -> DO -> AO

Steve (2018-12-16, Rating 5):
Im new here but i have been reading through all comments...im trying to rate but im confuse.....is the ratings from the down openings odd to up...because i can see two openings odd....and why is the dropping odd and available odd different...please pardon my ignorance i just want to learn..
Soccer-Rating.com:
It goes like this:
Opening Odds -> Dropping Odds -> Available Odds
(for example 2.20 -> 2.00 -> 1.90)

For all these 3 states you can find ratings here at soccer-rating.com. Here in Today page you can see Opening Odds rating (OO), the most important rating.

If we have more than one drop in history (2.20 -> 2.00 -> 1.90) of course Availble Odds Ratings is different than Opening Odds Rating.

3 examples with 2.20 and OO rating -23:
2.20 -> 2.00 -> 1.90 is approx. -23/-14/-10 (OO/DO/AO)
2.20 -> 2.00 -> 2.50 is approx. -23/-14/-32 (OO/DO/AO)
2.20 -> 1.80 -> 1.80 is approx. -23/-5/-5 (OO/DO/AO)

With ratings you can also see how "strong" the drop is.
And the zero (0) rating would be fair odds.

De young (2018-12-15, Rating 5):
Administrator pls what is the meaning of white or dark background in Today's prediction???
Soccer-Rating.com:
Dark background = preferred tips

Main choice is Dropping Odds + rating >=7 for dark background.
But also "round" in season is considered. We avoid very late rounds in season, because by that time bookmakers know correct ratings.

- look at tips with dark background first!
- but of course also white background can be a good choice. Something with -31 ... and you see dropping odds in other bookies (Today = odds from bwin only)? Take it.


Sunday (2018-12-11, Rating 5):
Im still very confuse using the opening odd ratings..i really want to understand this odd......

My question is if odd is 1.80 from the fair box and high to 4.50 in the openings odd ratings and later drop to 3.05 still using the openings odd as the first odd move...should i see the 3.05 as a highing odd or dropping odd knowing the fact that is above the earlier 1.80

Soccer-Rating.com:
Your example is dropping odd and I would take the 3.05 as fast as possible (because 1.80 seems to be fair + odds start to drop).

The only thing is that there is really huge difference in your example between 1.80 fair and 4.50 opening. Very often there is "motivation" involved with VERY strange odds. Then of course strange odds are explainable but still ... in your example ... I would take it anyway.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Dark colour in live tips means it's a preferred betting pick (you can also see these with button "Show Tips").

Yes, it can change -> if odds drop. If odds drop too much, it will disappear. But of course the initial bet (with higher odds!) is still valid in this case.

Also you may consider any other bet, even if they are not highlighted. Let's say a matcht with -31 / -31 is still good in my opinion: Home Win.

Hello, please how do someone convert odds into rating. Please specify.
Soccer-Rating.com:
it's a fixed formula, but this formula is of course a secret of this site.
Some rules:
- Same odds = always same rating.
- this is zero (0) rating: 2.55 3.30 2.55
- ratings from odds show first of all rating DIFFERENCE of 2 teams (= relative strength). To get absolute ratings like 2043 we just need a couple of games in history

IMPORTANT: Everything is 100% maths. There is only correct solution for "odds ratings" (if we know odds!) and not something like "settings".

Manwith4 (2018-11-30, Rating 5):
I read through some comments that already answer my question but can you help with this
1. you said oo rating/odd are fixed, are those rating bwin rating or yours
2. i also noticed there is much diff in drop rate of some matches like; 11/1(slightly underrated) and 11/-1(slightly overrated).. does it not mean the same.
3. are those rating in tally to bwin money flow or just number movt.

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) it's my rating. Odds are from bwin, but it doesn't matter. If we take any other bookie, we will have very similar ratings (maybe +- 5 max.)

2) if we have matches ... one with OO/AO 11/1 and the other with OO/AO 11/-1 ... then these two are very similar. It doesn't mean that you must bet Away win in first and Home win in second. I would go in all 2 examples for Away Win (trust the OO rating more in this case).

3) It's bwin money flow. You can see the money flow in difference of OO / AO ratings. Let's say another 2 examples:
First with OO/AO -33 /-12, Second with OO/AO -5/-12. Again 2 different matches. I would prefer the frist one and bet Home win and avoid the second one. In 2nd example money flow isn't on exepcted team, which is a bit strange, so avoid.

- if fast Dropping Odds are a problem: update time for soccer-rating.com is always XX:30, every hour. If you check the site at XX:30, you can find new tips.

I also know many punters who are successful with Opening Odds strategies. This means in Today Page you will actaully not check ratings from "today" ... but ratings from a few days in advance (2-4 days are optimum).

2. what makes a bolded team which was initially suppose to be UNDERRATED move to Slightly OVERRATED/OVERATED

3. does rating from bolded team moving from + to - /or - to + implies real money flow

4. is your opening odd rating the best for asian handicap value pick or closing odd
Thank you as i await your response

Soccer-Rating.com:
1. odds for ratings and team pages are indeed from bwin, but it's not regulated by any bookie.

2. of course if odds drop. Think about it: A team is overrated (like -22). Then odds drift in expected direction (like -4). Then it's only slightly overrated and value has probably gone.

3. yes! You can also see how big this money flow is. OO / AO -30 -4 = big change in market. Another exmaple: OO / AO -30 -28 = only minor change in market. Actually you can see so many things with these 2 rating numbers ...

4. I recommend 1x2 bets and you should bet a few hours before start of game.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Forget the draw and never bet on draw! (exception: only in very special if both teams are happy with draw, for example in cups with group stage). Draw odds are always depending on Home/away win odds. If odds on fav get higher, of course draw odds get higher. With my site choose either Away Win or Home Win. If odds drop too much, you can swich teams.

Soccer-Rating.com:
Movemenet is:

Opening Odds -> Dropping Odds (= first odds move) -> Available Odds

Typical ratings can be:
OO / DO / AO
20 -> 12 -> 5

This would be an expected movement with dropping odds on our team. But every other combination is also possible of course ... and usually this means AVOID for our bets.

Slimsy (2018-11-13, Rating 5):
I have few questions
1. Does the asian handicap opening odd truly represent the initial outcome irrespective of the new money flow.

2. Are the 1st opening odd fixed that we can base our prediction irrespective of the later flow

3. Does bookmaker truly know where a match would end using their starting odd as against public opinion

Soccer-Rating.com:
1) yes, it's simply opening odds (first odds)

2) yes. If you want a fixed strategy, just base it on Opening Odds Rating (OO rating. Very simple! Then your bets are fixed and won't change (... with new odds flow).

3) no. I think starting odds are always set in a way that they can profit the most. E.g. very attractive teams with good form will get lower opening odds than before.
The openig odds rating (OO) is very good. Test it!

And then if odds drop on other team, we can have OO/AO -20 -20 later. This would be same odds as opening odds.

Can i know how to predict draw matches using odds ?
Soccer-Rating.com:
To predict draw is not possible with soccer-rating.com.
There is either advantage on home team (negative rating) or away team (positive rating).

If there is value in draw, then it's just a consequence of Home/Away strength evaluation. For example we find value for a big underdog with 6.50, then of course the draw with maybe 4.00 will also have value (because it is more likely then bookie think).

Jerry (2018-10-14, Rating 5):
Can any odd that drop using -minus under available be still high again?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, it can. Odds can change until start of game.
Of course "First Odds Move" is fixed.
But "Available Odds Rating" can change in both directions.

If odds drop on "our team" (the betting advice), the rating will go down - and move more close to 0 rating.
If odds rise on "our team", the rating will also go up.

Edward (2018-06-28, Rating 5):
I was wondering there is bold teams and highlighted, what is the definition of highlighted games?
Soccer-Rating.com:
Bold teams: if you want to analyze a certain match, choose the bold team. This is always the suggested tip (with confidence -> see ratings).

Highlighted: These are preferred tips! Those with bigger ratings. If you are not sure what to do today and your checking Today's page for new tips -> just focus on highlighted matches.

How strong should home or away win be,so as to place a sure bet?
Soccer-Rating.com:
A 15-20 rating produces Fair Odds in odds calculator. I don't like +5 or -3 rating. But anything with > +10 or < -10 will be OK.
Just be clever and try to add other strategies. Some leagues are very good, others are not. Do we have dropping odds? And so on.

Why am I making losses with your predictions?

Soccer-Rating.com:
Have patience! Try to follow a strategy for a full year, because a year means a whole seson with all ups and downs.

In did I have tried to understand how to rate but I am not yet
Soccer-Rating.com:
Negative rating = Bet on Home Win
Positive rating = Bet on Away Win

---- Home Win | Neutral | Away Win +++++

Stronger rating = more confidence

The math. calculation is made with odds from the past.
If we have high odds for a team (compared to recent odds before), we'll get a high rating.

Sorry but manysss error prediction daily
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, not all tips are winning (surprise).
You still have an advantage of 10% or more if you follow the basic rules.

Also odds shown here are not best odds available. They are all from just a single bookie with 90% payout in average.

any advice on building accas with this?
Soccer-Rating.com:
For Accumulators/Combos there will be soon better selections!
In general: If you have any suggestions, please use this feedback page or just mail us (Contact is on bottom of page)

For now you can use Luck Bets in the Betting Tools menu for accumulators.
It's not a very strong tool, I must admit. Improvement is planned ...


Rapture (2017-10-11, Rating 1):
How do I know the teams to win? According to your analysis, your advise is to bet on bold once.. I'm really losing..
Soccer-Rating.com:
Yes, bet on bold teams.
Other basic rules and easy to understand is:
* Negative Rating = you should bet on Home Win
* Positive Rating = you should bet on Away Win

This rating is not about the favorite, it's about which team has attractive odds.
If you do this you have an advantage about 10% - 12% in the long run.
