Right then, let’s get stuck into this one. Boston United hosted Brackley Town, and the Pilgrims were fancied by the bookies at 11/10. Brackley were chalked up at 23/10, with the draw a chunky 9/4.

Now, the TopB1ns Edge, bless its cotton socks, went for a Boston win. Bit of a surprise that, given their recent form. It also fancied ‘No’ for Both Teams To Score, which is a bit of a punt considering the odds were 3/4 for ‘Yes’. On the Over/Under front, the Edge was all over the place, calling Over 0.5, Over 1.5, but then Under 2.5, Under 3.5, and so on. Bit of a mixed bag there, eh?

So, how did it play out? Brackley nicked it 2-1. That means the TopB1ns Edge’s main prediction for the 1X2 result was a miss, which is a bit of a “teething issue” for our new model. However, it did correctly predict ‘No’ for BTTS, which was a decent shout against the odds. The Over/Under calls were a bit of a lottery, with the Edge getting Under 2.5, Under 3.5, and the rest bang on. A bit of genius, a bit of a wobble – that’s betting for you!
