Customer guide

The simple guide to using GoalsProof.

This page explains what the tool does, what the numbers mean, and how to read a fixture without pretending the model is magic.

01

Start with the lane

Most Likely, Market Supported, and Review First tell you how to read the shortlist before opening the detail.

02

Check the key pills

Pills highlight the main lane, genuine risk flags, timing, low coverage, and settled results. Confidence buckets sit in their own column.

03

Respect the caution label

A match can look likely but still need care if the market support, price band, or risk profile is weaker.

04

Track the proof

The calibration and backtest sections show whether the model is actually performing over time.

What the app is doing

GoalsProof is trying to answer one question.

Which football fixtures are most likely to have at least two goals, and are any of them priced better than they should be?

It scans fixtures

It looks across available football matches and finds games with Over 1.5 goal prices.

It studies the football

It checks recent goals, home and away form, league behaviour, head-to-head history, weather, heat conditions, and match context.

It compares the price

It asks whether the bookmaker price is better or worse than the model's fair price.

It keeps score

When results complete, the tool tracks whether selections landed and whether the model was overconfident or useful.

Shortlist lanes

Most Likely, Market Supported, Review First.

Most Likely

The strongest Over 1.5 candidates by goal profile. Start here when you want the fastest shortlist.

Market Supported

Strong candidates where the market and price profile look cleaner. These are the current focus for live shadow testing.

Review First

The model may still like the game, but something needs care: weak market support, a historically poor price band, risk flags, or missing context.

Terminology

The words, in normal English.

Over 1.5 goals

The match needs two or more total goals. A 1-1, 2-0, 3-2 all win. A 0-0 or 1-0 loses.

Confidence

The displayed chance of Over 1.5 goals landing after GoalsProof has checked the fixture profile and proof evidence.

Fair odds

A guide price based on the displayed confidence. It helps users understand whether the available price looks sensible.

Best price

The best available Over 1.5 price found from trusted football market data sources.

+EV

Positive expected value. The model thinks the offered price is better than the fair price. This does not mean guaranteed profit.

Edge

The gap between the available price and the model's fair price. Positive edge means the price is attractive according to the model.

Market support

A cleaner view of whether the wider market broadly agrees with the goal profile.

Opening odds

The earlier price available before the market has fully moved.

Closing odds

The price close to kickoff. This is often the hardest price to beat.

CLV

Closing Line Value. If we took 1.40 and the closing price became 1.30, we beat the close. That is a good long-term sign.

ROI

Return on investment. If you staked 1 unit on every pick, ROI shows the profit or loss percentage.

Calibration

A truth check. If the model says 80%, are those picks actually landing around 80% of the time? The dashboard now uses this evidence to adjust displayed confidence.

Bucket

A confidence group. Elite is the highest, then Strong, Medium, and Low.

League baseline

How often games in that league normally go Over 1.5. Some leagues are naturally more goal-heavy than others.

Home/away split

How the home team performs at home and the away team performs away, rather than just their overall record.

H2H

Head-to-head. Previous meetings between the two teams. Useful, but often a small sample.

Cagey context

Games like playoffs, finals, first legs, or knockout ties can be more cautious, so the model flags them.

Feature guide

What each part of the dashboard is for.

Most Likely

The highest-confidence fixtures for today. Use this for a fast Over 1.5 shortlist.

Market Supported

Shows strong candidates where the market profile is cleaner. This is not a guarantee; it is a better area to investigate.

Confidence Buckets

Groups selections by confidence so you can see whether Elite, Strong, Medium, and Low picks are behaving as expected.

Calibration Dashboard

Compares predicted confidence with actual results. This stops the model from sounding clever without proving itself.

Backtest Proof

Replays historical fixtures using only data that would have been known before the match. This is the evidence layer.

Watchlist

A place to save fixtures you want to keep an eye on before deciding whether to use them.

Accumulator Builder

Groups games together and shows combined chance, fair odds, market odds, edge, league diversity, and correlation warnings.

Score Breakdown Drawer

Opens the model inputs behind a fixture, so you can see what pushed the confidence up or down.

Shareable Report

Creates a clean daily report for top rated picks, risks, and accumulator groups.

Useful guides

Learn the core ideas behind the dashboard.

What is Over 1.5 goals?

A simple guide to the market, what counts as a successful outcome, and the data worth checking.

How to use it sensibly

A simple customer workflow.

  1. Start with Most Likely. These are the strongest goal candidates.
  2. Check Market Supported. These have a cleaner market profile.
  3. Read Review First carefully. These may still be interesting, but the profile is less clean.
  4. Check risk pills. Weather Risk, Cagey Context, Context Watch, and Low Coverage deserve caution.
  5. Keep accas small. Grouping games multiplies risk. Use the accumulator warnings.
  6. Review calibration weekly. Trust the parts of the model that are proving themselves.

Responsible use

Important: this is not a guarantee.

GoalsProof is a decision-support tool, not betting advice. It helps find likely and potentially mispriced Over 1.5 games, but football is noisy and every selection can lose.
