Tips & predictions

Many apps push picks and predictions to a phone’s lock screen, which makes a critical approach to them useful. This section treats each as an opinion and no more.

Tipsters, AI predictions, daily picks and 1X2 calls are examined with some simple sums. A fractional price of 5/1 is 6.00 as a decimal, margin shows in how a market’s probabilities add up, and a price can be weighed against probability.

Nothing here is a banker or a promised return, and no match is singled out. Betting winnings are not taxed for the punter, whereas a professional gambler is referred to HMRC or an adviser.
