With this option we can filter by range the odds provided by the book maker. It is important to highlight that these are closing odds, the odds just before the match starts.
Option “optimum Bookmaker Odds”: Algorithms use those games that the market you have chosen for your system is the favorite according to bookmaker’s odds.
Range the real odds provided by the book maker. It is important to highlight that these are real odds that has been selected from the filter “Real odds profile”.
Option “optimum Real Odds”: Algorithms use those games that the market you have chosen for your system is the favorite according to real odds.
“Value to book”: You can also apply a range filter for value bets based on real to book odds.
Filter the games depending on the game week they were played.
Filter by days, for example, to show only matches that were played on Saturday. If you want to include all the days, simply do not select any.
We already explained the difference between real and bookmaker odds. Betting the opposite is a filter to assume games only when the bookmaker odds and the real odds offer opposite markets as favorite. For example, when at the same game the real odds indicated that the most probable is the Under 2.5 and the bookmaker’s odds indicated the most probable thing is the Over 2.5.
Filter games comparing odds from two different bookmakers for the same market. When there is a certain difference, this can be determined by a percentage. For example, if we want to filter games to see only those matches when they have the same odds in the two different bookmakers, we could set a range of prices.
In this option we add a second market and filter it with a specific range price. For instance, if we are working with the Over 2.5 market, we could add an Over 0.5 HT additional market with a maximum real odds of 1.2, in order to include only the matches with a clear trend to have a goal in the first half. An additional market can be filtered by real odds or bookmaker odds.
Filter applying a probability margin expressed in % compared to the main market and the rest of probabilities within the same market.
The sample to use for Real Odds.
The default option is “League” mode. Next to each league there is the league’s yield according to your system. By selecting a league you see all the teams included with the information of the yield for each team in three cases which are, yield: as home, as Away, as both.
“exclude teams from league” : By relocate a team to one of the column “Home”, “Away” or “Both” you exclude home, away or both games for that team from your system.
With the team mode you must insert the teams in order to create your system. You can insert teams among different leagues in the format “home”, “away” or “both”.
“exclude teams from team” : When you are in a team mode, you can choose some teams to get them out of the betting system.

All time: According to games as selected from system filters
Last Season: According to games only from current season
Last 30 days: According to games only from last 30 days

Maximum drawdown of the system (units):
It’s the maximum loss in units from a peak to trough. When you start designing a new strategy, one of the key factors of a risk assessment is the maximum drawdown of the system. Max drawdown is vital to estimate the risk you are willing to assume.
