Frequently asked questions about Sollert.
About the product
What is Sollert and what does it do?
Sollert is a European football betting analytics platform. We build machine learning models that produce calibrated probability predictions for player prop markets — yellow cards, fouls, tackles, shots, goals, and assists. Every prediction is compared against live bookmaker odds to surface value bets with an edge score, and we provide Kelly staking recommendations to size bets relative to your bankroll.
What leagues and markets are covered?
We currently cover 5 leagues: Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1. Markets include yellow card probability, expected fouls, expected tackles, expected shots, expected goals, and expected assists.
How are the probabilities calculated?
We train separate models for each market and position group (defenders, midfielders, forwards), then combine their outputs into a calibrated ensemble. All probabilities are post-processed to ensure calibration — when we say 65%, the historical frequency is close to 65%. We track accuracy metrics for every model version and retrain when calibration degrades.
What is "edge" and why does it matter?
Edge is the difference between our predicted probability and the bookmaker's implied probability (derived from their odds). If we predict a 50% chance of a yellow card and the bookmaker offers odds equivalent to 40%, our edge is 10%. Betting consistently on positive-edge selections is what produces long-run profit — edge, not tips.
What is CLV and why is it more important than hit rate?
CLV (Closing Line Value) measures whether the odds you bet at were better than the odds at kickoff. Bookmakers sharpen their lines as kickoff approaches — if you consistently beat the closing line, it means you are identifying real edges, not getting lucky. Hit rate alone is misleading because it doesn't account for odds quality.
What is Kelly staking and how does it work?
Kelly staking is a mathematically optimal bet sizing formula. Given your edge and the odds, it tells you what fraction of your bankroll to stake to maximise long-run growth. Sollert uses half-Kelly (more conservative) to account for model uncertainty. You enter your bankroll once and the app scales all stake recommendations to it.
What is the Bet Builder Lab?
The Bet Builder Lab lets you combine multiple predictions into a single multi-leg bet. It shows you the naïve combined probability (if legs were independent) and our adjusted probability (accounting for correlations between legs). This tells you whether the bet builder price offered by your bookmaker is fair value.
Are these predictions guaranteed to make money?
No. No predictions are guaranteed. Betting always carries the risk of losing money. Sollert surfaces edges — situations where the probability we estimate is higher than the bookmaker's implied probability — but individual bets will lose. Only ever bet what you can afford to lose.
