Frequently asked questions

Where do the figures on NFL come from?

The average odds from every bookmaker we track, with their margin removed, for each finished match in the competition. The Method section gives the sample thresholds.

Does OddScore tell you which team to back in NFL?

No. OddScore gives no stake advice. The AI reading sums up what the market says about a match. It is not a bet to follow.

Method

These figures describe the market, not OddScore. They don't measure any reading or score from the product.

  1. A price is the average of the odds from every bookmaker we track, with one price per bookmaker.
  2. The opening is the first price we kept. The close is the last price before kick-off.
  3. Implied probability is calculated without the bookmakers' margin.
  4. Results are settled at the end of the match, overtime included.
  5. An overall statistic appears from 100 matches, a band or a competition from 30.
