There's a version of opposition research that most bettors do. They check recent form, look at the last five results, maybe scan a match report from the most recent fixture. It takes ten minutes and produces a generic picture of a team that could have been assembled from their Wikipedia page...

The progressive carries article and the xT article both made the same underlying point from different angles. The metrics exist in public data. The prop markets price from positional averages rather than from those metrics. The gap between what's measurable and what's priced is where the edge...

The CBT article covered cognitive distortions in general terms - what they are, how they damage betting decisions, why willpower-based solutions don't hold under variance pressure. The stress-testing article covered how to use an LLM to challenge your reasoning on a specific pre-match analysis...

Most bettors discover the variance properties of their staking strategy the hard way. They run the strategy live, hit a drawdown they didn't anticipate, make emotional decisions about stake sizing mid-sequence, and then spend the next three months recovering ground they would have kept if they'd...

There are roughly forty-six Championship fixtures per weekend round. Add the Scottish Premiership, any European competition you're covering, and whatever Premier League matches fall into your scope, and you're looking at somewhere between fifty and eighty fixtures that technically sit within...

Here's a problem that doesn't get discussed honestly enough. You've done the analysis. You've checked the xPoints divergence, you've looked at the referee assignment, you've pulled the press conference transcript and run it through the injury filter. Everything points in one direction. You feel...

Most bettors who use LLMs for research are using them wrong. Not wrong in the sense of prompting badly - though that's often true as well - but wrong architecturally. They open a new conversation, ask a question, get an answer, close the tab, and repeat. Every session starts from zero. The model...

The NLP article explained what operators extract from manager transcripts - content, sentiment, and linguistic drift over time. Three channels, each requiring a different kind of attention. What it didn't cover was how an individual bettor without a data science team and a commercial NLP...

The referee article covered what to track. Card tolerance, foul rate, penalty frequency, how certain officials handle the game in the final twenty minutes when a team is protecting a lead. If you read it and thought "right, but how do I actually do this without spending forty hours manually...
