01 Definition
Correct score betting requires predicting the exact final scoreline, such as 2-1 or 0-0. Because there are many possible outcomes, odds are high (typically 5.00-50.00+) but accuracy is very difficult. It's popular for accumulators and entertainment betting.
02 Example
Predicting Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea at odds of 8.00 means a $10 bet returns $80 — but only if that exact scoreline occurs. 3-1, 2-0, 2-2 all lose.
03 Why It Matters
Correct score markets are attractive for their high payouts but have extremely negative EV in most cases. The number of possible outcomes makes them very hard to price accurately, but bookmakers compensate with high margins.
04 How thetipster.xyz Uses This
We don't signal on correct score markets. The variance is too extreme and the vig too high for consistent +EV detection. We stay on totals where probability estimation is more reliable and the edge is more consistent.
