To achieve that, the algorithm analyses more than 1536139 matches from our database seeking for patterns to get to the winning probabilities for the home team, a tie or a victory for the away team. That was the conclusion from our artificial intelligence:

Should you bet on St Pauli?

🔵 St Pauli: the model predicted that the probability of this event happening is 34.23% and we know that avarage odds offered by the bookies are 2.87. In other words, this means that if you made 1000 bets of $1 like this, you:

• Would hit 340 times – this would give you a profit of $635.80
• And would have lost other 660 times – with a loss of -$660.00 because of them.

That is why this bet does not have value. In the end, you would have had a final loss of 💰-$24.20.

Is it worth betting on draw?

⚪ draw: the model predicted that the probability of this event happening is 30.73% and we know that avarage odds offered by the bookies are 3.20. In other words, this means that if you made 1000 bets of $1 like this, you:

• Would hit 310 times – profiting $682.00;
• And would lose other 690 times – having a loss of -$690.00 with them.

Even if it is a positive expected value bet, the expected profit is just 💰$8.00 which is not worth the risk in our opinion.

Is it worth betting on Mainz?

🔴 Mainz: our artificial intelligence has calculated that the probability of this event happening is around 35.04%, meanwhile the bookies are offering avarage odds of 2.48. This means that if you made 1000 bets of $1 like this, you:

• Would hit 350 times – profiting $518.00;
• And would lose other 650 times – losing -$650.00 with them.
