Question 1

How are the predictions generated?

Accepted Answer

Where bookmaker odds are available, the probabilities are the market consensus: the average across bookmakers with each bookmaker's margin removed. Our own testing showed our statistical model does not beat that consensus on matches with odds, so we do not pretend otherwise. Where there are no odds, they come from a statistical model (CatBoost, LightGBM and Poisson goal models with a Dixon-Coles adjustment, blended and calibrated). Every response includes a basis field that says which one you got. See the Methodology page for the details.

Question 2

How accurate are the predictions?

Accepted Answer

Our Top Picks are saved before kickoff and scored against real results; the settled hit rate is published on the Top Picks page and the homepage once enough picks have settled. Past accuracy does not guarantee future results — treat every probability as informational, not a guarantee.

Question 3

How often is data updated?

Accepted Answer

Match statuses, scores, and probabilities refresh automatically as fixtures move from scheduled to live to finished. There is no manual step involved on our end.

Question 4

Which leagues are covered?

Accepted Answer

Coverage spans leagues worldwide — see the Data Coverage and Leagues pages for the full breakdown by country.

Question 5

Is this a betting or gambling service?

Accepted Answer

No. PredictIQ Pro provides statistical predictions and match data for informational purposes. We do not accept wagers, process bets, or guarantee outcomes.

Question 6

Why do some matches show no probability?

Accepted Answer

Probabilities are only available for matches that are scheduled or currently live. Finished matches show the final score instead, since the outcome is already known.
