Once you know what each column means, you can read any page on the site in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kick-off time in your local time zone. During a match it shows the minute (for example 59&#039;) with a red dot, and after the final whistle it shows FT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">League, Home and Away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The competition and the two teams. During and after the match, the score appears between the team names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our pick for the match. 1 means a home win, X a draw and 2 an away win. 1X means home win or draw, X2 means away win or draw. You will also see tips like Over 2.5, BTTS (both teams to score) and Under 3.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bookmaker price for our tip. Odds of 1.50 mean a 1,000 stake returns 1,500 if the tip wins. Lower odds mean the bookmakers also think the tip is likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conf.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our confidence: the estimated chance, in percent, that the tip wins. Green is high (80% or more), blue is good (65 to 79%) and orange is fair (below 65%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Colours after the match<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a match is finished, a green line on the left means the tip won and a red line means it lost. Every tip is graded on our results page, so you can always check our record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember: a prediction is an estimate, not a guarantee. Bet only what you can afford to lose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every row in our prediction table shows a tip, the odds and our confidence.
