TipsterCompetition
How every AI match preview is built: a data snapshot, calculations, an LLM that writes from facts only, automated fact-checking and publication. Full AI disclosure.
Every match preview on TipsterCompetition is produced with artificial intelligence, and we say so openly. This page sets out how a preview is built, what the AI is and is not allowed to do, and the safeguards between the data and the page you read.
Our match previews are written by large language models (LLMs) working from verified match data and our own calculations. They are not written by human journalists. The tips attached to previews come from our own automated prediction models, covered on the AI tipsters page. Our founder designs and oversees the system, and we continually review its output. The AI is a writer and an analyst's assistant, not an oracle.
All our AI previews are built on facts: history, performance, form, momentum, head-to-head and standings. The aim is a preview you can verify, not a story that merely sounds convincing.
For each fixture we take a snapshot of the facts: both teams' recent results and form, their league standings, head-to-head history, momentum, and the bookmaker odds available. Everything the preview says must trace back to this snapshot.
Next come the numbers. Poisson goal models, our own Elo ratings, consensus across our models, historic trends and odds ranges, and machine-learning outputs are combined to estimate the likely outcome and whether any price offers value. The full toolkit is explained on the methodology page.
If the calculations find no value, the answer is NO BET, and no tip is issued.
Only now does a language model write. It is given the snapshot and the calculated results and asked to explain them in clear, readable English.
The rule is strict: it writes from the facts it is given and never invents. That means no made-up injuries, no players who are not in the data, and no invented streaks or statistics. If a fact is not in the snapshot, it does not appear in the preview.
Before anything is published, the draft goes through automated checks that compare the claims in the text with the snapshot. A preview that states something the data does not support is caught and not published as written.
A preview that passes goes live on its match page, with the tip (where there is one) recorded at the real bookmaker odds available and sealed. From then on it does not change. Read how our tips work for what sealing means.
Language models let us explain more matches, more clearly, than a small human team could. Our founder has 30+ years' experience in gambling and probability and 15+ years in machine learning, and the move to LLMs was about improving preview quality and readability, not about replacing the analysis. The maths and the data still do the real work.
A preview can tell you what the facts and models suggest. It cannot tell you what will happen. Football is unpredictable, injuries and team news can change late, and betting carries risk. If gambling is causing you concern, our responsible gambling page lists free, confidential support.
We take accuracy seriously. If a preview contains something that looks wrong, please tell us through corrections and feedback, and read our wider standards in the editorial policy.
