🎱 SNOOKER — ACCURACY & RECORD

Calibrated model analysis, not tips. Validated out-of-sample, tracked in the open.

← all sports

Model updated 22 July 2026: published probabilities now blend the Elo rating with the market opening price through a gradient-boosted calibration layer, validated out-of-sample before switching. The record below spans both model versions.

Is the model accurate?

These are matches the model never trained on. It picks the winner about six in ten — and, more importantly, its probabilities are calibrated: when it says 71%, it happens about 71% of the time.

The two bars line up on every band — that's calibration. On raw pick accuracy the model even edges the market. Not sharper on price, but demonstrably accurate, shown in the open.
