October 7th Results: Value Bets finish in the black.
As of Wednesday, October 7, the results recorded in the tracker are positive. Out of 10 tracked predictions, FootProbability has recorded 5 wins and 5 losses, a success rate of 50%.
The featured match between CS Constantine and US Biskra failed to deliver on the "Both Teams to Score – Yes" bet, as Constantine won 4–0. Conversely, the Ben Aknoun vs. JS El Biar match saw the "Over 2.5 goals" bet at odds of 2.29 land, thanks to a 2–2 draw.
The "Value Bets" yielded 4 winning picks out of 8, a success rate of 50%. The best performance came from the Igea Virtus vs. Reggina match, with an Igea Virtus win at odds of 3.50. Biellese vs. Alessandria, Valenzana vs. Saluzzo, and Brusaporto vs. Chievo round out the winning selections.
Based on a fixed theoretical stake of 1 unit, the recorded Value Bets show a return of +1.58 units and a +19.8% ROI. The overall result for the 10 selections is +0.87 units, representing a theoretical ROI of +8.7%. These figures remain provisional, pending the addition of further results to the history.
Strong Match: HJK Helsinki – VPS
The featured match on October 8 pits HJK Helsinki against VPS in the Finnish Veikkausliiga. FootProbability selects "Under 2.5 goals" at odds of 2.10, with a model score of 58/100.
The EV reaches +19.1%, and the model's confidence stands at 56.7%. The most likely score is 1-1, a scenario consistent with the prevailing market view.
This selection stands out for its balance between the model score, confidence level, and detected theoretical value. However, it remains subject to the inherent uncertainty of football matches.
Top 3 FootProbability: Finland, Morocco, and Algeria.
HJK Helsinki – VPS takes the top spot with Under 2.5 goals at odds of 2.10, a score of 58/100, +19.1% EV, and 56.7% confidence.
The second pick is CR Khemis Zemamra vs. Hassania Agadir in the Moroccan Botola Pro. FootProbability selects Over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.39, with a score of 55/100, +25.7% EV, and 52.6% confidence.
Finally, MC Oran vs. ES Sétif rounds out the top 3 with "Over 2.5 goals" at odds of 2.58. This match scores 54/100, with an EV of +34.4% and a confidence level of 52.1%.
The Top 3 thus features three matches from different leagues, with one "Under 2.5" and two "Over 2.5" picks. The model scores are relatively close, ranging from 54 to 58/100.
2-out-of-3 system: 56/100 average
The "2-out-of-3" system incorporates the three selections from the Top 3: HJK Helsinki vs. VPS (Under 2.5 @2.10), CR Khemis Zemamra vs. Hassania Agadir (Over 2.5 @2.39), and MC Oran vs. ES Sétif (Over 2.5 @2.58).
The model shows an average rounded score of 56/100 and an average EV of +26.4%. All three odds are above 2.00, which increases potential winnings but does not reduce the risk of loss.
In a "2 out of 3" system consisting of three doubles, two winning selections result in a winning double. The financial outcome then depends on the odds, the stake, and the number of winning doubles.
The 9 Value Bets for October 8
Today, FootProbability identifies 9 value bets across 19 fixtures—nearly half of the matches analyzed. While this proportion is high, the model's ratings vary depending on the specific match.
In Finland, the HJK Helsinki vs. VPS match is selected for Under 2.5 goals at odds of 2.10. In Morocco, four matches have been chosen: CR Khemis Zemamra vs. Hassania Agadir (Over 2.5 goals @2.39); FAR Rabat vs. Widad Témara (BTTS Yes @2.18); UTS Rabat vs. Renaissance Berkane (UTS Rabat win @3.13); and Maghreb Fès vs. Raja Casablanca (BTTS Yes @2.05).
In Algeria, the model identifies MC Oran vs. ES Sétif (Over 2.5 goals @2.58), JS Saoura vs. Olympique Akbou (Over 2.5 goals @2.44), and MB Rouisset vs. USM Alger (MB Rouisset win @3.00).
Finally, in Montenegro, Bokelj vs. Petrovac rounds out the selection with a bet on a Bokelj win at odds of 2.77, a model score of 53/100, and an EV of +42.8%.
Bokelj – Petrovac: an interesting value bet
Among the opportunities outside the top three, the Bokelj vs. Petrovac match stands out. FootProbability highlights a bet on a Bokelj win at odds of 2.77, with an EV of +42.8% and a model score of 53/100.
This matchup presents an EV higher than those of the three matches in the Top 3, while maintaining a model score above 50/100.
This serves as a reminder that the FootProbability ranking does not depend solely on EV. The model score and confidence level also play a role in prioritizing the selections.
Three favorites of the day identified
Unlike previous matchdays, FootProbability identifies three market favorites today that are confirmed by the model.
Atlético Nacional – Deportes Tolima comes in first position. The model estimates Atlético Nacional's probability of winning at 56.5%, for odds of 1.62.
Otrant-Olympic vs. Mladost DG takes second place, with an estimated 52.6% chance of an Otrant-Olympic victory at odds of 1.60. Finally, Shamrock Rovers vs. Drogheda United rounds out the list, with a 52.2% probability of a Shamrock Rovers win at odds of 1.36.
It is important to distinguish between a favorite and a value bet. A team can be considered a favorite without its odds offering positive theoretical value. Therefore, these three favorites should not be equated with the day's nine value bets.
An interesting day for optimization tests
With 9 value bets across just 19 matches, October 8th offers another opportunity to evaluate the model's filters. Six matches score at least 50/100, while some value bets fall below this threshold.
The results will make it possible to compare the performance of high-score selections with that of selections chosen primarily for their EV. The goal remains to determine, using a sufficiently large sample, which criteria genuinely improve the quality of the predictions.
Performance will be tracked without excluding losses or focusing solely on favorable results. This transparency is essential for measuring the model's reliability over time.
Conclusion: 9 Value Bets and one Strong Match at 58/100.
For Thursday, October 8, FootProbability presents analyses for 19 matches, 9 Value Bets, and a Top 3 with confidence ratings between 54 and 58/100. HJK Helsinki vs. VPS is the featured "Strong Match" with an "Under 2.5 goals" pick at odds of 2.10, while the "2-out-of-3" system shows an average rating of 56/100 and an average EV of +26.4%.
The presence of three favorites and several high-odds value bets also makes it possible to observe different approaches taken by the model over the course of a single day.
