A guide to football results, totals and prices in Grenada
Before comparing percentages, establish the published day and the score condition. Results, totals and both-team scoring describe different aspects of a match, demonstrated here through examples. The price calculation then explains raw probability and margin. These examples teach how to read a selection and do not forecast a specific fixture or its exact score.
Locate the selection's publication day before treating its reference as part of a comparison. A market table shows the choices published for the active day, not the whole schedule of football fixtures. A successful request may load an empty table when no choices have been published for that combination. A failed request is another state, indicated by its displayed message. Keep the intended date through explanatory links and verify a move between today and tomorrow before relating selections or prices belonging to different publication days.
Which team is home and which is away determines the meaning of 1 and 2. For the market's named period, 1 means home victory, X a draw and 2 away victory. A 3-0 exemplifies 1, 0-3 exemplifies 2 and 2-2 exemplifies X. The identity of a qualifying side may depend on a later phase, making qualification distinct from this period result. Double chance is distinct as well. Check the wording before applying an extra-time or penalty outcome to a result question it may not answer.
A floor of three combined goals is required to satisfy Over 2.5 within the period specified. A 1-2 sits at that floor and a 2-2 exceeds it, although the results differ. A 0-2 has only two and fails. A 3-0 also fits Over while giving BTTS No, since one side supplies no goal. A total therefore leaves its distribution and winner unresolved. Read the estimate for the combined count rather than deriving an exact score or two-team scoring requirement from this threshold.
Under 2.5 places the largest permitted whole-number total at two. Zero and one are accepted too, during the period stated by the market. For example, 1-0 meets it with a home win and 1-1 meets it with a draw and BTTS Yes. At 2-1, the sum reaches three and no longer fits. The ceiling chooses no winner and requires no clean sheet, so the result alone does not establish it. Count the combined goals before considering the probability attached to the low-total selection.
BTTS Yes can have a total of two at 1-1 or five at 3-2. The unchanged requirement is a goal or more from each side within the specified period. At 3-0 and 0-0, at least one side has none, giving No. The answer leaves the winning side and first scorer unstated; it cannot be substituted for Over or Under 2.5. Any extra half-time or result condition has to be checked in addition, because fulfilling two-team scoring need not fulfil every part of the combined selection.
A high estimated chance needs a price comparison before it can be discussed as value. The inverse of an example decimal price of 1.25 yields raw 80%, before adjusting margin and with no real fixture attached. The model estimates probabilities by adjusting margin across reference market prices; it does not subtract it from 1.25. The recorded reference and a price accepted later can differ. Match the estimate to the price for the same condition instead of assuming that the highest percentage gives the better comparison.
Both teams to score means each team must score at least one goal in the specified period. The match winner does not matter.
A likely outcome. A good price?
Probability and price answer different questions. A likely outcome can still be poorly priced. Estimated value compares the price with a reference probability; it is not a promise of profit.
Over 2.5: count the goals.
Over 2.5 requires at least three goals in total in the specified period. Two goals or fewer is Under 2.5. Check the market period and bookmaker settlement rules.
A worked example: probability and price
Illustration only: a 60% estimate implies fair decimal odds of about 1.67. At 1.50 the price is below that estimate’s break-even point; at 1.80 it is above it. The estimate can be wrong. Neither price makes a win certain, and the available price can change after publication.
Read the record, not just the hit rate
A method can win more bets than it loses and still lose money at short odds. Read ROI alongside settled sample size and maximum drawdown. Results use a flat one-unit reference stake, not a recommendation to bet every selection. Markets on the same match are correlated.
Before following a selection
Confirm the teams, market, period and current odds on the bookmaker’s site. A published quote is a snapshot, not a reserved price. Decide your limit before you play; do not increase it to chase a loss. You can always skip a selection.
