Methodology

Every figure on this site comes from one of the sources below. If I have no source, I leave the figure out.

Bookmaker margin

A bookmaker’s odds add up to a total chance above 100%. The excess is the margin. It is what the bookmaker keeps.

I take the inverse of every price in a market, add them up and subtract 100%. Nothing is estimated. If a market is missing a price, I leave that market out.

The best price

This is the highest price offered for the same bet by the bookmakers compared. I take it as a visitor from The Gambia sees it on their site.

Prices often move before kick-off. Each page shows the time the price was seen.

Predictions

A prediction starts from the fixtures, recent results and the bookmakers’ odds. Form covers the last five completed matches.

I give one read per match, such as under 2.5 goals, with what it rests on. I do not predict a scoreline. I do not tell you how much to stake.

Fees and tax

Deposit and withdrawal fees come from the payment service’s or the bookmaker’s own price list. The page names the source and the date it was checked.

Amounts “after tax” use the rate in force in The Gambia, and the page names the rule. When the rule changes, I update the page and date the change.

Prediction record

Each call is fixed at kick-off with the best price at that moment. After the match, I check it against the final score.

Every call stays on the public list, the wrong ones included. None is taken off.

What I will not publish

How this site is paid

The site earns a commission when you open an account through one of its links. The link costs you nothing extra. It leads to the bookmaker’s own site, unchanged.

The commission does not buy a good review. Each bookmaker page also says what it does badly.

Corrections

If a figure is wrong, I fix it and note the change on the page. Write to me at the address at the foot of the page.
