Explaining BetScore

Introduction

BetScore is a powerful tool designed to simplify betting decisions by aggregating a wide range of factors into a single, weighted average score. This score helps users quickly assess the overall value of each bet available on GamedayMath. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the mechanics behind BetScore, exploring how it's calculated and how you can make the most of it.

The Scoring System: An Overview

The BetScore system operates on a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating better bets. GamedayMath calculates BetScore by evaluating various factors, assigning scores to each, converting them to a common scale, and applying a unique weighting formula to produce the final score.

What Does the Scale Mean

BetScore is designed to be user-friendly, utilizing both color and number breakdowns. Our five-tier color system ranges from red (poor) to green (excellent). Here’s what each range signifies:

• 90-100: Amazing bets! If the price is still available at the listed sportsbook, then this should be a no-brainer
• 80-89: Excellent bets! These are still expected to be very profitable bets over the long-term
• 74-79: Good bets! These are good bets, but ones that the user should take a much harder look at.
• 67-73: Decent bets. We wouldn't blindly bet these, but there is possibly some value there.
• 0-66: Avoid these bets.

BetScore: The Secret Sauce

BetScore is more than just a number - it’s the perfect tool for top-down betting, combining market intelligence and advanced analytics to identify where sharp money is moving. It’s built on a unique weighting system that emphasizes key variables and macro-indicators pulled from sportsbook data.

Unlike models that rely purely on micro-level handicapping, BetScore incorporates signals tied to market volume and liquidity, allowing it to respond dynamically to how a market behaves in real time. Behind the scenes, GamedayMath uses techniques borrowed from the credit-ranking industry to fine-tune these weightings and improve predictive accuracy.

While the exact formula remains proprietary, BetScore’s backtesting performance has been outstanding - and it’s shown a strong correlation with a bet’s expected ROI (EROI), making it a powerful predictor of long-term betting edge.
