Yes, entirely. Every prediction, every market page, the live scores, the league tables and the analysis are free to read, and there is no account to create. Nothing is held back behind a signup, a subscription or a paid tier.
The site is funded by advertising. How that funding works, and what it does and does not influence, is set out on the advertising disclosure page.
Fixtures, line-ups, injuries, live scores and bookmaker odds are licensed from commercial sports-data providers under paid agreements. On top of that feed we run our own selection procedure, which profiles each match and publishes the one market the match fits.
The methodology page sets out the whole procedure: which inputs are used, how a fixture is profiled, when our own model overrides the provider's advice, and what we deliberately refuse to publish. If you only read one page on this site before trusting a pick, read that one.
Because forcing every fixture into the same market means publishing a weak opinion most of the time. A tight match between two similar sides is a poor match-result bet and may be a good draw or double chance bet. Two attacking sides that both concede are a poor match-result bet and a good both-teams-to-score bet.
So each fixture is profiled and matched to the market it actually fits. That is also why a fixture you are looking for may not appear on the market page you expected — if the data does not support a call in that market, the fixture is not listed there.
It means the feed had no usable data for that fixture, so no prediction was published. We leave the row empty and label it rather than filling the gap with an estimate.
The same principle applies to prices. Where a fixture has no bookmaker odds, no percentage is shown at all — the confidence ring is left empty and the row reads no price. A probability with nothing behind it is worse than no probability.
It is the model's probability for that specific outcome in that specific fixture. A sixty-two per cent on a both-teams-to-score pick means the model puts that fixture's chance of both sides scoring at sixty-two per cent.
It is not a statement about how often our picks win, and it should never be read as one. The colour band — high, medium, low — is a readability aid over the same number, nothing more.
The odds shown are the market price at the moment the pick was published, before kick-off. They are recorded rather than live, deliberately, so a pick can be judged later against a price that was genuinely available instead of one that drifted afterwards.
Prices also differ between bookmakers and move as money comes in. If the price has shortened since publication, the selection is worth less than it was; that is exactly the information the recorded number is there to give you.
Predictions are generated once a day, early in the morning, before that day's fixtures. Live scores and match events update continuously while matches are in play. Standings, top scorer charts and team streaks refresh on their own slower schedules.
Published picks are not revised once a match starts. A prediction that changes during the match is not a prediction, and a site that quietly updates its calls cannot be checked by anyone.
No, and this is a deliberate policy rather than an oversight. Hit rates and return-on-investment figures are trivial to present favourably — by choosing a start date, a subset of markets, or a staking plan after the fact — and almost impossible for a reader to verify. They are the single most common way prediction sites mislead people.
What we publish instead is the pick and the price it was published at, before the match. That record does not change. Anyone who wants to keep score has everything needed to do so independently, which is a stronger guarantee than a number we could have chosen ourselves.
No. We do not accept bets, process payments, hold funds or facilitate wagering of any kind, and we are not a bookmaker or a betting intermediary.
PunterPick is an analysis site. Nothing published here is betting advice, financial advice or a guarantee of any outcome.
A bet where the probability of the outcome is higher than the price implies — not a bet that is likely to win. Those are different things. A selection at decimal odds of 4.00 implies roughly a twenty-five per cent chance; if the true probability is thirty-five per cent, the bet is positive even though it loses most of the time.
The corollary is uncomfortable and worth stating plainly: a short favourite priced tighter than its true probability is a bad bet even though it usually wins. The value bets page exists to surface that gap, and it is normal for selections on it to lose more often than they land.
They are entertainment, and they should be priced as entertainment in your own head. An accumulator multiplies the odds of each leg together and multiplies the risk the same way: four legs each with a seventy per cent chance give the slip a combined chance of about twenty-four per cent.
The less obvious cost is that the bookmaker margin compounds too — a small edge taken out of each individual price becomes a much larger one across the whole slip. Fewer legs is almost always the better trade.
Coverage follows the licensed feed and is visible on the all leagues page, which lists every competition with published predictions for the day. A league with no fixtures, or with fixtures the feed has no usable data for, is not listed.
Every covered competition is handled with the same procedure. No league gets a different standard of evidence, and none gets a prediction the data does not support.
Yes. Starred picks are kept in your own browser and are not sent to us or tied to an account — there is no account. They expire after a day, since the predictions themselves are short-lived.
Because the storage is local to the browser, saved picks do not follow you to another device, and clearing your browser data clears them.
The interface and the page explanations are translated into ten languages, selectable from the settings menu. Fixture, team and competition names come from the data feed and appear as the feed supplies them.
Odds format is also configurable — decimal, fractional or American — from the same menu, and the setting is remembered in your browser.
Tell us. If a published pick is wrong because of a data error — a fixture that did not exist, a price that was never available, a line-up mis-reported upstream — we will say so on the page rather than quietly deleting it.
The contact address is on the contact page, and it is the channel for everything: support, questions about a prediction, bug reports and feedback.
