A €50 sports prediction experiment — with the maths exposed
Daily50 examines sports selections using a fictional €50 daily budget. The question is whether the reasoning and recorded prices stand up to scrutiny once results arrive. No real money is wagered by this project.

The early archive includes an assumed price, so its cumulative profit figures are not a verified track record. A complete audited return is not yet available. Treat older cards as an editorial archive, not evidence of a profitable betting system.
What makes a prediction useful?
A favourite can be the likeliest winner and still be poor value. At decimal odds of 1.50, a win-or-lose selection needs a success rate above 66.67% to break even over repeated bets. A useful preview therefore explains the price, the evidence, the uncertainty and the settlement rules—not just which team should win.
Five winning €8 bets at 1.20 return only €48. Add one losing €10 bet and the day loses €2 despite a 5–1 record. That is why this experiment needs transparent stakes and returns rather than headline winning streaks.
