EdgePicks
Prediction Method

Short answer: the model estimates win probability from pre-game starters, recent offense/defense, home/away form, injuries and line data; output locks before kickoff and settles after the game. This is a probability estimate, not a guaranteed-win betting tip.

Method summary

Auditable process
STEP 01
From data input to post-game verification

Data inputs are adjusted by league: MLB weighs starting pitchers, bullpen and recent offense/defense; NBA weighs injuries, rest days, pace and offensive/defensive efficiency; soccer factors in expected goals, lineups and recent form. The model only uses information available before the data cutoff.

The model first outputs home/away win probability and a confidence range, then checks injuries, lineup changes and line movement. If key data is missing or the sample is too small, the game's confidence should be lowered or it should be excluded from Elite picks — not backed with a subjective guarantee.

Predictions are timestamped before kickoff and can't be rewritten once locked; settlement follows the actual final score. Readers can verify sample size, hits and the calculation period line by line on the Track-record page instead of relying on a single percentage.

Analytical philosophy

Three pillars
Discipline

When a game isn't a confident call, we'd rather pass. We don't force a pick just to "have one every day" — we only act when the model and experience both agree.

Data

Intuition has to be tested against data. The proprietary quant model gives an objective win probability first, then the analyst makes a manual check for injuries, rest days and line moves.

Bankroll management

Even the sharpest analysis can't save reckless staking. We always remind members: fixed-percentage staking, within your means — that's the only way a long-term win rate matters.

Vincent Chiang often says: "Predicting games isn't guesswork — it's managing uncertainty.」The model's internals are the team's core asset and aren't published — but every output is locked publicly and open to scrutiny.

Why we publish the track record

No deleted posts · verifiable

The biggest problem in this industry is hindsight bias: winning picks get shown off, losing picks quietly get deleted. Vincent Chiang's answer is simple — every prediction locks before kickoff and can't be edited afterward; hits and misses are all listed, and losing streaks stay up on the wall too.

You don't need to trust any sales pitch — go look at the record directly. Every prediction's date, matchup, direction, actual result and whether it hit are all public on the Track-record page. Everyone is welcome to verify it line by line.

Every pick is verifiable

The Track-record page keeps the complete history of predictions, locked before kickoff and never adjusted afterward. No model or analysis can guarantee results, and past hit rates don't represent future performance — but we guarantee the record is real. Go to Track record and hit rate to verify it line by line.

FAQ

FAQ
How are EdgePicks' predictions made?
A proprietary quant model synthesizes team data, matchups, injuries and lines to output each team's win probability. Lead analyst Vincent Chiang (experienced in sports data analysis) then leads the team through a manual check of injury and line changes before locking it in. Model parameters are a core team asset and aren't published, but every output is locked before kickoff and open to public scrutiny.
How is the hit rate verified? Are misses deleted?
No. All predictions lock before kickoff and can't be edited afterward; hits and misses are all kept on the Track-record page. The hit rate for high-confidence "Elite" picks is based on the live, settled sample on the Track-record page. See live settled figures and per-league hit rates on the Track record and hit rate page — everyone is welcome to verify line by line.
