Altora Analytics

Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask us most often, answered honestly.

The basics

What is Altora Analytics?
Altora Analytics is a sports analytics platform publishing calibrated win probabilities across eight sports (football, tennis, darts, snooker, rugby, esports, basketball and handball), alongside systematic trading research. Every prediction is published before the event, every result is settled publicly, and nothing is ever deleted. The records are the product.
Are these betting tips?
No. We publish analysis: model probabilities, not instructions to bet. Some record pages also track performance at fixed, pre-declared stakes (£10 singles; accumulators £3–£10 by type) so visitors can judge the models transparently. The website settles every game on each market’s daily board (all-games tracking from 5 August 2026); the Telegram channels carry the selections that clear the model’s frozen thresholds, before play — correct score and accumulators carry their top-ranked selections, and on no-pass days the channels say so. (Before 9 August 2026 the gated channels carried the top five per approach with pass/fail labels.) Nothing here is financial advice. If you bet, that's your decision and your responsibility. 18+ only, and please read BeGambleAware.org.
How do the models actually work?
Most sports use an adaptive rating system combined with live market information and machine-learning calibration, validated on tens of thousands of matches the models never trained on. Football adds further features such as expected-goals metrics. The full technical write-up is on the methodology page, and the complete build method is in our handbooks.

The honesty questions

Do you ever delete losing picks?
Never. Every record page shows wins and losses, and offers the complete history as a CSV download: date, selection, odds, result. A deleted loser would leave a hole in the CSV and a mismatch with the posts we've already published. That verifiability is the whole point of the site.
Why don't you hide predictions until after the event?
Because that would make it impossible to verify when they were made. Every prediction is published before the event starts and remains online afterwards, so anyone can check both the timing and the result. Hidden-then-revealed picks are how this industry cheats; public-before-play is how you prove you didn't.
Why do you show the bookmaker beating your model sometimes?
Because it's true. Betting markets at closing are extraordinarily efficient. Matching them is genuinely hard, and “we smash the bookies” is one of the oldest claims in this industry. Our models are calibrated (when we say 70%, it happens about 70% of the time) and statistically level with the market on most sports. We show the comparison either way.
Will I make money following the models?
We make no such promise, and you should distrust anyone who does. Bookmaker margins mean most bettors lose over time. What we offer is honest, calibrated information and fully transparent records. What you do with it is up to you.
Why don't you just sell the picks?
Because predictions without evidence are worthless. Every model has good weeks and bad weeks. We'd rather publish every result permanently and let people judge the models over thousands of predictions than advertise isolated winning streaks.

Products

What are the handbooks?
Two one-off PDF guides that teach the complete method behind this site: one for building a sports prediction model, one for building an automated FX trading bot. Designed for beginners, with complete Python code provided throughout. £29.99 each, instant download. They're educational: they promise knowledge, not profits.
Is there a paid tier?
No. There is no paid tier and nothing is held back. Every fixture the model prices is published on the daily board — all of them, not just the ones that clear a threshold — and every one of them is settled in public afterwards, win or lose. We would rather show the whole board and be judged on it than sell a filtered version of it. The predictions are free and will stay free, and nobody can ever be charged automatically because we hold no card details.
How is Altora funded?
Right now, by the two handbooks above and by our own time. As the audience grows, our social channels may also carry advertising and affiliate links (for example to bookmakers or betting exchanges), which pay us if you sign up through them. Three rules apply to all of it:
• Always labelled. Any paid or affiliate link is marked as an ad. You will never have to guess.
• It never touches the models. What gets published, how it is ranked and how it is settled are decided by the same rules whether anyone clicks or not. The record stays public either way.
• 18+ only. Gambling-related links are for adults in places where betting is legal. If gambling stops being fun, visit BeGambleAware.org.

Data & sources

Where does the data come from?
We use established third-party data providers including:
• API-Sports (football, rugby union, basketball, handball)
• Betfair Exchange (live market prices and results)
• football-data.co.uk (historical football odds)

• OpenDota (Dota 2)
Individual record pages credit the data sources used for that sport.
Can I buy your data?
The raw feeds aren't ours to sell. They belong to the sources above. Our own model outputs and published records are freely downloadable from every record page as CSV.
