Glossary: how to read a forecast and the line

Short explainers for the terms that appear in forecasts and in the chatbot's breakdowns: totals, both teams to score, probability and odds. No tips on what to bet, only what the numbers mean.

01

What a total means in football

Over and under explained in plain words: what the 2.5, 1.5 and 3.5 lines mean, where the probability comes from, and why the price is not the chance.

02

What both teams to score means

Both teams to score in plain words: the yes and no sides, the link to totals, how the model estimates the probability from expected goals, and the mistakes that come up most often.

03

How to read probability and odds

What the home, draw and away percentages in a forecast mean, how to convert a price into a probability, what the bookmaker's margin is, and why a 60% favourite still loses regularly.
