1. What is Football Intelligence?

Football Intelligence is a free AI-powered football prediction platform that uses the Poisson distribution model and Claude Sonnet AI to generate match probabilities, expected goals (xG), and value bet recommendations across 10+ European leagues.

It also includes a Kelly Criterion calculator for optimal bet sizing and a $1,000 DEMO bankroll to practise strategies without financial risk.

2. Is Football Intelligence really free?

Yes. The Free plan gives you:

  • 5 AI predictions per day
  • 2 SportGPT queries
  • League standings, live scores
  • $1,000 DEMO bankroll
  • No credit card required

The PRO (€14.99/month) and Elite (€29.99/month) plans unlock unlimited predictions, the live Value Calculator with 40+ bookmaker odds, full SportGPT access, and pick history tracking.

3. How does the Poisson distribution model predict football matches?

The Poisson model assigns each team an attack strength (goals scored ÷ league average) and a defensive record (goals conceded ÷ league average). Combined with home advantage, these produce two lambda values — the expected goals for each side.

The Poisson formula P(k) = (λ^k × e^−λ) / k! then generates a full 8×8 scoreline probability matrix, from which all market probabilities (1X2, BTTS, Over/Under, Asian handicap) are derived.

This is the same statistical framework professional quants use in sports betting markets. Read the full methodology →

4. What is value betting?

Value betting means placing bets where the bookmaker's implied probability is lower than the true probability of an outcome.

Example: if our Poisson model gives a team a 50% chance to win but the bookmaker offers odds of 2.20 (implying only 45.5%), there is a +9.9% value edge.

Over a large sample of positive-EV bets, value betting generates long-term profit regardless of short-term variance. It is the only mathematically proven long-term winning betting strategy. Full Value Betting Guide →

5. How does the Kelly Criterion work in sports betting?

The Kelly Criterion is a mathematical formula for optimal bankroll management:

Kelly% = (odds × model_probability − 1) ÷ (odds − 1)

With a $1,000 bankroll and a calculated Kelly of 8%, your stake should be $80. Football Intelligence displays the Kelly stake on every AI pick.

We recommend Half-Kelly (50% of the calculated stake) to reduce variance from model uncertainty. Never bet more than the Kelly suggests — overbetting leads to bankroll ruin even with a genuine edge.

6. What are the Low / Medium / High risk tiers and how are picks classified?

Every pick goes through a data-driven classifier built from 380+ historical settled bets. The classifier assigns one of three tiers based on the (market type × odds band) combination:

  • 🟢 LOW — Over 2.5 / BTTS / Win @ odds 1.50–1.85. Highest historical win-rate (~63%), tightest variance.
  • 🟡 MEDIUM — Over 2.5 / BTTS / Win @ odds 1.85–2.10. Solid edge with moderate variance (~50% WR).
  • 🔴 HIGH — Win or Draw @ odds 3.00–3.50. Long-odds value plays — historically positive ROI but lower hit-rate.

Bands historically losing money (Win @ 2.10–3.00, Win @ 3.50+, Over 3.5 goals, etc.) are rejected by the algorithm and never published. The headline Low+Medium ROI shown publicly excludes the speculative HIGH tier. Full details on methodology page §9.5.

7. Which football leagues does Football Intelligence cover?
  • Premier League (England)
  • La Liga (Spain)
  • Serie A (Italy)
  • Bundesliga (Germany)
  • Ligue 1 (France)
  • Champions League and Europa League
  • Eredivisie (Netherlands)
  • Primeira Liga (Portugal)
  • Select cup competitions

We're continually adding new leagues — request your league via support email.

8. How accurate are Football Intelligence predictions?

Statistical models are probability tools, not crystal balls. Our Poisson model historically calibrates within ±2% of actual outcome frequencies on settled matches.

The platform's edge is finding spots where the bookmaker's odds significantly diverge from the model's fair odds (value edges of 3% or higher). On individual matches, results vary; over hundreds of bets, positive-EV picks generate compound returns.

Important: past performance does not guarantee future results. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.

9. What is SportGPT and how do I use it?

SportGPT is an AI football analyst built on Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic). Ask it any question about football statistics, betting analysis, or specific matches in plain English:

  • "Find me the best value bet today"
  • "Build a 3-match accumulator with low risk"
  • "Compare Arsenal vs Brighton head-to-head"
  • "What's the highest BTTS probability tonight?"

Free users: 2 queries/day · PRO: 15/day · Elite: 40/day.

10. Is Football Intelligence a bookmaker?

No. Football Intelligence is purely an analytical and informational tool. We do not accept monetary bets, do not operate as a bookmaker, and are not a party to any betting transaction.

We display predictions and value edges; placing actual bets is your decision and responsibility, done through your own licensed bookmaker.

11. How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel at any time via the Stripe customer portal — the link is in your subscription confirmation email. PRO and Elite access remains active until the end of the paid period.

No questions asked, no retention pressure.

12. Do you offer refunds?

Generally no, due to the immediate-access nature of the digital service. Exceptions are made for:

  • Technical unavailability exceeding 48 hours within a billing cycle
  • Duplicate billing errors

Email karolbalucki1402@gmail.com within 7 days for refund requests. Full policy in the Terms of Service.

Yes. We take data security seriously:

  • Passwords hashed with bcrypt (industry standard, never stored in plaintext)
  • All traffic uses HTTPS/TLS
  • We do not use Google Analytics or third-party tracking cookies
  • Payment data is handled exclusively by Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1)
  • We are GDPR compliant

14. What is the DEMO bankroll feature?

Every new account receives a $1,000 virtual bankroll. Use it to practise placing AI-recommended bets, see how the Kelly stake performs, and track your simulated ROI over time — all without risking real money.

The DEMO updates automatically as bets settle. A weekly +$100 refill keeps the experimentation going.

15. What's the difference between PRO and Elite plans?

PRO (€14.99/mo):

  • Unlimited AI predictions
  • Value Calculator (40+ bookmaker odds)
  • 15 SportGPT queries/day
  • Pick history + ROI tracking

Elite (€29.99/mo) — everything in PRO, plus:

  • 40 SportGPT queries/day
