Football Predictions & Data-Driven Picks2026-06-18

Daily selections based on a four-algorithm system (Today's Research Selections), combining different modelling approaches to identify more reliable outcomes. Also Blog posts about the models and the experience of using AI coding agents in their building and updating.

How apps work

What each product does. Live apps link to the App Store; coming-soon items are described here only.

Live on the App Store

  • StatStrike

    StatStrike is a football forecasting app focused on quality over quantity.

    Every day, StatStrike monitors leagues worldwide and publishes Over 2.5 and Under 2.5 forecasts from leagues currently meeting performance standards. Rather than flooding users with predictions, the app focuses on fixtures supported by historical league performance and statistical criteria.

    Each forecast includes:

    • Model confidence score
    • Supporting fixture statistics
    • Historical league performance metrics
    • Aggregate market odds (when available)
    • Transparent track record data

    FEATURES

    • Daily Over 2.5 forecasts
    • Daily Under 2.5 forecasts
    • Best Performing category featuring leagues with a proven historical record
    • Full prediction archive
    • Automatic result tracking
    • Performance transparency
    • Fixture filtering tools
    • Historical league qualification metrics

    TRANSPARENCY FIRST

    Every forecast is archived and tracked.

    Users can review historical performance, win rates and prediction history directly within the app. No deleted losses. No cherry-picked results. Just measurable forecasting performance.

    StatStrike is designed for football fans who value transparency, accountability and data-driven forecasting.

  • GoalLab

    GoalLab forecasts the majority of published global fixtures daily. The algorithm uses an 11 criteria model to forecast Over 2.5 and Under 2.5 football goal bands. It will forecast with all 11 criteria, if available for the fixture, or whatever it can get - forecast confidence is reflected in the volume of criteria available for any given fixture. This doesn't mean a lower confidence forecast is necessarily less accurate than one with more criteria - it depends on the criteria mix and how they interact. Historical win rates of every confidence level is listed as tracked by a rich and growing archive.

ProphIt — Test Your Own Prediction Ideas in a living app!

Coming Soon!

Have a theory for predicting goal band outcomes?

This service lets you test your approach using real data, live execution, and transparent tracking — so you can see how it actually performs.

How the research service works

  1. You define your ideaDescribe your logic — from simple rules to more detailed concepts.
  2. I build your modelYour idea is translated into a working forecasting algorithm.
  3. We run it liveYour model is executed against real matches over a fixed research period.
  4. You track the resultsYou get access to a dedicated app/dashboard showing:
    • Predictions
    • Results (W/L)
    • Performance over time

What you get

  • A working version of your idea as a live model
  • A private dashboard to track performance
  • Real-world validation (not just backtested theory)
  • Clear insight into whether your idea has an edge

After the research period

When the initial research period ends, you can:

  • Extend testing for an additional fee, or
  • Have your algorithm deployed in a dedicated app for your personal use, for a one-off fixed cost

For ongoing use, you will need a low-cost API subscription for match data. You can connect your own API key, and the system will run your model automatically.

If preferred, managed data access can be provided for a small monthly fee.

Important

  • This is a research and testing service, not financial advice
  • No outcomes or profitability are guaranteed
  • Most ideas do not perform well — that is the purpose of testing
  • Your model is treated as confidential
  • Similar outcomes to existing models may occur independently

Pricing

Flat fee depending on complexity and duration.

No ongoing commitment required.
