How sure is "sure"? The chance we showed vs what happened

Our public record since 18 October 2026: every favourite listed before kick-off, settled on the 90-minute result, losses included. The 95% interval appears from 30 matches.

Chance shown Matches Won Lost Win rate
65–70% 88 56 32 64% [54–74%]
70–75% 65 53 12 82% [72–91%]
75–80% 43 31 12 72% [59–86%]
80–100% 45 37 8 82% [71–94%]

Before the record started, the same rule on 6,575 past matches at Pinnacle's closing price (a backtest, labelled as such): favourites at 80% or more won 87%.

Why "sure win" sites still lose

A 100% claim is marketing. Even a favourite with an 85% fair chance loses about 3 times in 20, and bookmaker odds on such teams pay so little (around 1.15 to 1.20) that one loss wipes out several wins. We measure prediction sites every day against the closing line, losses included.

Football predictions, answered honestly

Is there a 100% sure football prediction?

No. Even the strongest favourites lose: in our public record, teams given 80% or more by the sharpest market lost 8 of 45 matches. Anyone selling "100% sure" or "fixed" predictions is selling a story.

Which team is most likely to win today?

Bayern München against 1. FC Magdeburg, with a 96% fair chance (Pinnacle's price without the margin, read at 05:34 UTC). The list on this page updates through the day.

Are high-chance favourites good bets?

A high chance is not a profit. At Pinnacle's closing prices, favourites at 65% or more returned -0.3% per bet on average in our backtest (95% interval -4.1% to +3.5%): the price already contains the chance.

Can I buy fixed matches or guaranteed predictions?

Offers of "fixed matches" are a common scam: nobody can sell you a known result. Never pay for them. If you want to judge a tipster, check a timestamped record against the closing line first.
