## Season 2026 to date
| Model | Market | Strike rate | Record |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head to Head | Win/Loss | 70.9% | 134/189 |
| Spread / Line | Spread | 60.3% | 114/189 |
| Margin Band | Margin Band | 26.5% | 50/189 |
| Over/Under | Total Score | 61.4% | 116/189 |
| Anytime Try Scorer | Try Scorer | 31.5% | 198/629 |
| First Try Scorer | First Try Scorer | 6.5% | 26/397 |

Across every published market: 638W–1144L (35.8%). Judge each market against its odds — margin bands pay $2.50+ and try-scorer markets publish several selections per game where only one can land, so low strike rates there are the expected shape of high-odds markets, not a broken model.

## How to read these tips
- **Model probability** — pre-match win chance from ~160 features (ELO, form, lineups, referee, weather, venue, rest days).
- **Edge** — model probability minus the bookmaker's implied probability (1 ÷ odds). Picks with at least +7% edge clear the value filter.
- **Published before kick-off, verified after full time** — every tip is timestamped pre-match and its Won/Lost result stays visible forever.
- **Tips vs bets** — the head-to-head pick is who the model thinks wins; the edge says whether the price is worth taking.
