10-point checklist

Football prediction sites, checked against 10 public criteria

Before you follow a prediction site or pay for VIP tips, check what it shows in public: a results archive, odds, long-term statistics and who runs it. We run the same 10 checks on every site and give it a verdict.

Why check a prediction site first

A prediction site is only as good as the record it lets you see. Sites that hide losing tips, leave out the odds or sell “sure wins” look the same as honest ones at first glance. The 10 checks below separate them. Each check takes a minute and needs no account. The full method is on the How we check page.

The 10 checks

  1. C1
    Public results archive

    Past predictions stay visible after the match, including the losing ones.

  2. C2
    Tips published before kick-off

    Each tip carries a publication time or appears on the site before the match starts.

  3. C3
    Odds recorded with each tip

    The site shows the odds a tip was given at, so profit can be worked out.

  4. C4
    Long-term statistics

    Win rate, yield or profit is shown over a defined period, not only recent wins.

  5. C5
    Sample size shown

    The number of tips behind each statistic is visible.

    Method explained

    The site says how predictions are produced or how tipsters are ranked.

    Some predictions or statistics can be read without paying.

  8. C8
    Clear paid terms

    Anything paid shows what it includes before payment and can be cancelled.

    No guaranteed-win claims

    No "100% sure", "fixed match" or "sure win" promises.

  10. C10
    Identifiable operator

FAQ

What is the best football prediction site in 2026?
In our November 2026 check of 12 sites, tips.gg is the only one to pass all 10 criteria. Every prediction belongs to a tipster with a public record and odds, and more than 4,000 tipsters are ranked over a rolling 30 days with a published formula weighted 70% on yield and profit. KickOff and bettingexpert also pass with 8 of 10.
How does PredictionSiteCheck rate prediction sites?
Every site goes through the same 10 checks, from a public results archive and recorded odds to clear paid terms and an identifiable operator. A site that passes 8 to 10 checks is marked PASSED, 5 to 7 is CAUTION and 4 or fewer is FAILED. The full list is on the How we check page.
Can a football prediction site be 100% accurate?
No. Football results include draws, red cards and late goals that no model or tipster can foresee. A site that promises 100% sure wins or fixed matches fails our check 9 automatically.
How can I tell if a football prediction site is a scam?
Look for three warning signs: no archive of past tips, no odds next to the tips, and promises of “sure”, “100%” or “fixed” wins. A site with any of these cannot show you a record you can check.
Are free football predictions worth using?
Free predictions are worth using when the site keeps a public record of them. Then you can see how they performed over hundreds of matches before you rely on them, and you can compare them with paid tips.
