Track record

Share record

Here’s the test that matters: when we say a number, does it actually hit that often? Every pick is graded against its final pre-match number, and every one of them is on this page.

The tennis record covers every pick we publish — ATP and WTA main tour, and since July 8 challenger events too. Challenger picks count inside the same ATP/WTA buckets below; they’re roughly a tenth of the volume so far. UFC has its own graded section further down. Cricket has its own graded section further down.

Across 1,365 graded tennis picks, our pick won 60.7%; in UFC we're 25-14 over 39 graded picks; in cricket we're 24-16 over 40 graded picks. The tables below show how that holds up at each confidence level — including where we’ve run overconfident. Nothing’s hidden.

Set-score accuracy

Every match page shows a "most likely score" — this is how often that exact score actually happened. Best-of-3 and best-of-5 aren't comparable: bo3 has 4 possible scores, bo5 has 6, so bo5 is the harder pick.

Best-of-3

37.9%

exact score correct, 341 of 900

Best-of-5

Set-count calls

Since July 19 every match page carries a set-count call — how many sets we think it goes. Most matches genuinely end in straight sets, so the honest baseline is high: always predicting straight sets would be right about two-thirds of the time in best-of-3. The rows below split our record by what we called, so the bold three-set calls are graded in the open, separately from the safe ones.

Upset calls

About 1 in 11 of our picks back a player the market makes a clear underdog — the betting favorite is the other side. We expect to lose these more often than we win them; the honest comparison is against underdogs in general, who win roughly a third of the time.
