If you’re coming from what betting is and want the detail on a specific term, it’s here.
Match winner (1X2 / h2h): betting on who wins the match, or on the draw in sports where it exists. It’s the simplest and most common market.
Handicap: a team is given an artificial advantage or disadvantage on the scoreboard before working out who “wins” the bet. For example, “Real Madrid (-1.5)” only wins the bet if Madrid win by 2 goals or more. It’s used to balance bets between a clear favourite and their opponent.
Total / Over-Under: betting on whether the match’s combined result (goals, points) will finish above (Over) or below (Under) a figure set in advance, e.g. “Over 2.5 goals”.
Stake: the size of the bet, expressed here on a scale of 1 to 10 over a reference bank of 100 units — it isn’t an amount in euros, but how much confidence the tipster is putting in that pick relative to the others.
Odds band: each tipster declares their style and the platform verifies it against what they actually publish.
Yield: the profit made per unit staked, as a percentage. A yield of 8% means that, on average, every unit staked has returned an 8% profit. It’s the standard metric for comparing tipsters with different betting volumes.
Hit rate: what proportion of picks win. Watch out: a high hit rate doesn’t mean profitability — always betting on very safe favourites gives a high hit rate but low yield.
CLV (Closing Line Value): compares the odds the tipster took against the market’s closing odds right before the event starts. Sustained positive CLV is the most reliable sign that a tipster has real edge, because the market can’t “cheat” on the result — unlike hit rate, it doesn’t depend on the luck of a single match.
Drawdown: the worst streak of consecutive losses measured on the bank. It’s used to spot the “lucky-streak” profile — a thousand small picks, twenty hits and one lucky big one — that a good hit rate or accumulated yield can hide.
A tipster’s rating (0-100) combines four components: weighted yield, consistency (positive months and drawdown), CLV and publishing discipline. We don’t publish the exact weight of each one so the formula can’t be gamed instead of the pick itself. The detail is in how rating and divisions work.
Circuit: a group of related competitions (e.g. “Football Europe Elite” groups La Liga, Champions League and Europa League). A tipster specialises in a circuit, and their ranking, division and rating are always within that circuit — different circuits are never mixed.
Liquidity level: each competition inside a circuit carries an A/B/C label depending on how efficient and reliable its odds market is (A = Champions League, the big 5 leagues, NBA...; C = exotic leagues or friendlies, softer and more manipulable odds). It’s weighted into the rating calculation: a pick at level C counts for less than one at level A.
Division: Third, Second or First within each circuit. Everyone starts in Third; promotions and relegations are evaluated every month according to that period’s rating.
Bookmaker: each pick’s odds are taken in real time from a specific bookmaker (always shown). Not every bookmaker is equally reliable: higher-liquidity ones (professional markets, exchanges) are considered more representative than small bookmakers with softer odds — that’s also reflected, to a lesser extent, in the rating.
Decimal odds: the format the whole platform uses. It shows how much you get back per unit staked if you win, stake included — odds of 2.50 return 2.50 units per unit staked (1.50 net profit). Fractional or American formats aren’t used.
Overround (bookmaker margin): the sum of the implied probabilities of every option in a market always exceeds 100% — that difference is what the bookmaker keeps. The lower the overround, the “fairer” the odds that bookmaker offers; that’s why bookmaker liquidity is weighted into the rating.
Expected value (EV): the long-run average profit of a pick if repeated infinitely, comparing the odds taken against the real probability of the outcome. A positive-EV pick doesn’t always win, but wins more often than its odds would “suggest”.
Line movement: how a market’s odds shift from when it opens to kickoff, usually because informed bettors’ money moves it. It’s the basis of CLV.
Odds sealing: at publish time, the platform checks the real market odds and locks them into that pick forever — neither the tipster nor anyone else can change them afterwards, even if the market moves.
Minimum notice: a pick can’t be published if the event starts in less than 30 minutes — this prevents publishing once the outcome is nearly decided.
Pick caps: there are two, applied together. A global one of 60 picks per 48 hoursacross all your circuits, plus each circuit’s own. The 48-hour window is rolling — counted backwards from the moment you publish, not from a fixed hour — so it cannot be dodged by publishing across midnight. It is deliberately generous: a full European matchday with NBA and ATP on top fits inside it.
Liquidity level: every competition is graded A, B or C by how reliable its odds are (how much money its market moves). It does not limit what you may publish — there is no level-C quota — but it does change how much it counts: a level-C pick weighs 0.4 in the rating against 1.0 for a level-A one. Specialising in small markets is not forbidden, it just cannot be used to inflate the rating.
Monthly evaluation: each division is evaluated separately — the top 20% by rating that period gets promoted, the bottom 20% gets relegated (if there’s a division to move to).
Minimum monthly picks: a minimum number of picks must be published that month to be included in that month’s evaluation; anyone below it simply doesn’t move.
Prolonged inactivity: anyone who publishes no picks at all in a month gets relegated directly, regardless of the rating-based evaluation.
Main circuit: a tipster can end up publishing across several leagues at once — whichever has the most pick volume is shown as their “headline” identity, though each one keeps its own history and division.
Tipster of the Month: the tipster with the best normalised global rating (comparable across circuits) among those who meet that month’s minimum picks and close the month in profit. The top three carry the month’s badge on their profile, always free to enter (rules).
Founder badge: a mark for the first tipsters manually approved by the team — better commission the first year and featured placement, for as long as the initial launch phase lasts.
Strike: a warning the team can issue when it detects something irregular (manipulated picks, rule violations). Several strikes can lead to suspension.
Suspension: the profile stops being active temporarily — it can’t publish, but keeps its history.
Expulsion: the most serious sanction. The tipster loses their position and goes back to Third Division in every circuit if ever reactivated.
