OddScore tracks the 1X2 market (win, draw, loss) and, depending on the match, over/under goals (mostly +/- 2.5) across major football leagues and international competitions. Football is the only one of the 3 sports where the winner market has 3 outcomes — the signal calculation accounts for that.
The 1X2 market: what OddScore analyses
Football is the only one of the 3 sports covered by OddScore where a match can end in a draw — how the 1X2 market itself works, its three outcomes and its scoring, are explained on the dedicated 1X2 betting page.
OddScore observes the odds of all 3 outcomes across multiple bookmakers, compares their variations and converts them into real probabilities. This 3-outcome base is what sets football apart from tennis and basketball in the signal calculation — see the 3-sport comparison table for details.
The over/under goals market
Depending on the match, OddScore also tracks the over/under goals market, most often on the 2.5 line — how this market works in general, line and odds included, is explained on the dedicated Over/Under page.
This market works differently from 1X2: it's not about who wins, but whether the match will be goal-heavy or goal-light. OddScore applies the same reading logic — odds movements, comparison between bookmakers, 0-100 signal — to this market independently of 1X2.
A concrete example on the 1X2 market
Imagine a match where the favourite's odds move from 1.55 to 1.35 at multiple bookmakers within an hour. On the 1X2 market, that means the market is revising its win probability upward — but that's only the first layer of the reading.
OddScore also looks at whether the draw and away-win odds move in mirror: a drop on one usually comes with a rise on the other two, since all 3 probabilities add up to 100%. And it checks whether multiple bookmakers confirm the same movement — an isolated movement and one shared across the whole market don't tell the same story.
Football competitions tracked
OddScore tracks the major football leagues — Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Primeira Liga, MLS — as well as the main national and continental cups: Champions League, Europa League, Conference League. Major international competitions are also covered, starting with the World Cup.
The goal is not to cover every league in the world, but to focus on competitions where the market is active and liquid enough to produce a reliable signal.
OddScore is not a football tipster site
OddScore doesn't hand you a bet to follow blindly: it's a reading of the football market (odds, probabilities, signals), not a tip on the match outcome.
Remember: OddScore doesn't give you a bet to copy. OddScore helps you understand what the football market is saying.

ExploreFrequently asked questions
Does OddScore give football tips?
No. OddScore is not a typical football tipster site. The application does not give a guaranteed bet or an exact score: it helps you read football odds movements, market signals and real probabilities to better understand the context before a match.
Which football markets does OddScore analyse?
Mainly the 1X2 market (home win, draw, away win) and, depending on the match, over/under goals (most often +/- 2.5 goals). Analyses can also include best available odds and the clearest market signals.
Why does football have a 3-outcome market but not tennis or basketball?
Because a football match can end in a draw, unlike tennis or basketball where there is always a winner. Football is therefore the only one of the 3 sports where the winner market (1X2) has 3 outcomes instead of 2.
Which football competitions does OddScore track?
The major football leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Primeira Liga, MLS…), the main national and continental cups (Champions League, Europa League, Conference League…) and major international competitions like the World Cup.
Does OddScore cover every football match?
No. OddScore focuses on matches where markets are sufficiently readable to be properly analysed, not on exhaustive coverage.
