How is this prediction different from a tipster's?
A tipster gives you a scoreline and a bet. We give you the model's probability for every outcome (35/32/34), publish it alongside the de-vigged market so you can see exactly where we disagree, and keep every call on the record — hits and misses. There is no "inside line" and no guaranteed winner; it's an independent statistical read you can weigh against the market.
