Real-record research

Model Lab

This page replays filter, staking and calibration rules against the same earliest pre-event system records with settled outcomes. It does not use synthetic fixtures, and the variants are not separate trained production models. No money is attached; promotion requires the real-data gates below.

Variants

· 12 rule variants · same real pre-event records

Cumulative profit (staked units)

· Same fixtures · different rules
Baseline (live) is the model actually running on the track record today — every auto-logged pick at its recommended stake, no extra filter. Every other line replays the exact same fixtures with one rule changed, so any gap is caused by the rule, not by luckier bets. Baseline leads on total units because it takes the most bets; the filtered variants have far higher ROI on a much smaller sample.

Methodology

· How a variant gets promoted

Every variant is scored on the same auto-logged picks the live baseline model sees. Variants only differ in their filter rule (which picks they take) and staking rule. Outcomes (won / lost / void) come from the same reconciled results — no rewriting history.

  • Baseline is whatever you see on the public track record today (recommended stake, no filter).
  • Challenger variants paper-trade alongside. No money is attached.
  • A challenger is promoted to baseline only when it beats the live model on staked ROI over ≥100 settled picks with positive CLV. Single-week noise doesn't move the needle.
  • Brier score is computed on each variant's emitted probability (calibrated/shrunk variants use the transformed prob), so calibration improvements show up directly.

Research only. Past simulated performance is not indicative of future results.

Monte Carlo simulator

· Stress-test any model: ours or yours

Runs thousands of simulated betting seasons against the inputs below to show the full distribution of outcomes — not just the average. Use it to see how often a model bankrupts, what a realistic worst-case looks like, and whether the median path is actually profitable. Upload your own picks as CSV to bootstrap from real history instead of assumed parameters.

Bring your own model (optional)

CSV with columns edge_pct, odds, stake (header optional, stake optional). When uploaded, the simulator samples real picks instead of using the edge% / odds inputs below. Staking rule from inputs is used when stake is 0 or missing.
