What is PredictZ? Price, tiers and claims
In short: a free tips site with odds beside most tips, and no results record that we could find.

PredictZis a free football tips and statistics site. Each day it lists a result tip with a predicted score, an Over/Under 2.5 goals tip and a both-teams-to-score tip, with a bookmaker's odds beside most of them (on 82.5% to 88.4% of the tips we captured, depending on the market). Price: free. We could not confirm who runs it: its About and Terms pages sit behind a Cloudflare challenge, which we do not solve or bypass.
We tested every tip it showed in the window, in those three markets. We found no accuracy claim on pages we could read without passing a challenge, so there is no claim to test and no claims table below.
How we checked PredictZ's picks
Every pick on PredictZ's public results pages, 11 Oct to 21 Oct 2026: 2,577 graded picks in 3 markets, checked against the scores and closing odds we record.
The method in full
- What we collected
- Every pick on PredictZ's public results pages in the window, with the odds printed beside it and its result (3,698 rows read)
- Period
- 11 Oct to 21 Oct 2026 (11 days, by kick-off date)
- Sample
- 2,577 graded picks in 3 markets; 612 picks we could not match to a fixture are excluded
- Prices
- the sponsor bookmaker's odds PredictZ prints beside each tip, as served to our capture (the VPS is served Finnish sponsor links, /stake/; an Estonian visitor sees Bet365). The price of the picked outcome is graded; as the second basis, the sharp close: the sharp closing line, with its margin removed
- Proof grade
- C: grade C because 6 of the 3,086 picks matched to our fixtures (0.2%) were first seen after kick-off or edited later; the other 3,080 were first seen before kick-off by our own capture. (3,698 picks read, 612 unmatched and not graded)
- Pre-committed
- Site, window, markets and tests logged 11 Oct 2026, before the audit ran
PredictZ's history was read after the matches from its results pages; we did not capture it live, so the pages could have changed before we read them. Paid tiers were not tested. Break-even is computed pick by pick (the average of 1 ÷ odds). Every 95% range comes from a bootstrap that resamples whole days, because picks on the same day are linked. Voids and pushes return the stake and count as no bet; results are our fixture result over 90 minutes plus stoppage time. No sharp closing price for Both teams to score. Left out: window 2026-10-12..2026-11-10 (run_after 2026-11-12), because we planned a 30-day window, but capture stopped on 20 Oct 2026 when the site began serving a Cloudflare challenge that we do not bypass, so the window held is 11 days. Left out: proof_grade_expected B, because we expected proof grade B, but 6 of 3,086 matched picks were first seen after kick-off or edited later, and the grade rule is all-or-nothing, so the grade is C. The window is 11 days (kick-offs 11 to 21 Oct 2026), well under the 30 days our format asks for. Our capture of its pages stopped on 20 Oct 2026 when they began serving a Cloudflare challenge; we do not solve or bypass those, so the window cannot grow until capture resumes in a way the site allows. 99.8% of tips were first seen by us before kick-off, but 6 of 3,086 matched picks (2,577 of them with a printed price) were first seen after kick-off or edited later, and the grade rule needs every pick before kick-off, so the grade is C. The odds are those of the sponsor bookmaker our server was shown, which differs by visitor country. Both teams to score has no price check and no sharp close in the books we record. The sharp-close figures use a different set of picks from the printed-odds figures: 715 1X2 picks and 1,779 pooled (those with a closing price) against 667 and 2,577 (the matched tips with a printed price), so the two are not compared pick for pick. We did not contact PredictZ. The full method is on our methodology page.

About 16.5% of the tips in each market could not be matched to our fixtures. They are not in the returns: we hold no result to grade them by. The tips we could match returned −5.4% in 1X2, −5.4% in Over/Under 2.5 and −11.6% in both teams to score; the 1X2 range (−11.2% to +0.8%) includes zero. All three markets are greyed for their unmatched share (over 5%), so the verdict, tiles and scorecard read the pooled figure of 2,577 matched tips with a printed price, with care.
No market has under 5% unmatched picks in this window, so there is no profit and loss chart: a line drawn from picks we could not all match would mislead.
Did PredictZ beat the closing odds?
PredictZ's odds: capture time unknown, read after the matches (proof grade C). A tipster who beats the close is finding prices; one who doesn't is following them.

Best price = the highest price any of the bookmakers we record offered on the same pick in the 48 hours before kick-off (median 18 books recorded per fixture, so where it is 1 this check is weak; exchanges excluded), with a 2% tolerance.
Is it skill? PredictZ against a no-analysis rule
On each day PredictZ published picks, the rule takes the same number of picks, choosing whichever outcome the sharp closing odds made most likely. No form, no team news, no model. Both sides are priced at the sharp close, so each side counts only the picks with a sharp closing price, and the two counts can differ.

Returns at the sharp close. Caveat: the rule chooses with kick-off prices, so it shows what a win rate is made of, not a strategy, and nobody has kick-off prices when a tip is published.

PredictZ scorecard: who it's for
Shows the odds for every pick
NoPrinted beside 82.5% to 88.4% of the tips we captured, not every tip; the gap may be in our capture or on the site, and the data cannot say which.
Shows profit or loss
NoProfitable at its own odds
Not testedUntested: all three markets have over 5% of tips unmatched, so they are greyed and none feeds this row. For reference, pooled: −7.7% (95% range −11.5% to −2.1%). Over 11 days only; odds were read at first sight (grade C by the all-or-nothing rule).
Beats the closing odds
UnreliablePredictZ's odds were read after the matches (proof grade C), so the capture time is unknown and this row cannot pass. The CLV table above is printed for reference only.
Beats a no-analysis rule
MixedReturn against the no-analysis rule at the same prices, in the markets with over 5% unmatched picks (read with care).
Published record matches its picks
Not testedNot compared.
Proof grade
Grade Cgrade C because 6 of the 3,086 picks matched to our fixtures (0.2%) were first seen after kick-off or edited later; the other 3,080 were first seen before kick-off by our own capture. (3,698 picks read, 612 unmatched and not graded)
What it does well
- It shows a bookmaker's price beside most tips and costs nothing.
- Its printed 1X2 odds were no more than 2% above the best price we hold on 99.9% of the picks we could check (670); the median was 7.1% below the best price.
- We saw no profit claim on the pages we could read.
Who it's for: Readers who want a free daily list of tips and will not treat it as a profit method.
Who should skip it: Anyone expecting the tips to pay at the odds it prints: in our short test all three markets returned below zero at the printed odds, though the 1X2 range includes zero.
Is PredictZ legit? Our verdict
Is PredictZ legit? It is a working site that publishes free daily tips, but we could not confirm who runs it.
Following its tips for 11 days returned −7.7% at its printed odds (2,577 tips, pooled because every market is greyed for unmatched tips). Treat it as a free list of opinions, not a way to stake money at those prices. The window is short, and a longer one needs capture to resume.
Our own picks, same test
The same window and the same columns, for two lines of ours: every settled pre-match pick of every bot on /performance at the price we published, and the subset posted to our public Telegram channel before kick-off. Our picks are in different markets at different odds, so this compares what a reader of each got, not two models on the same games.
Ours, same window: +6.4% (777, all) and +12.5% (372, Telegram).

How to check any tipster in 30 seconds
The five checks
- 1
Ask for the odds
No odds, no verdict. A win rate on its own can't be checked.
- 2
Work out the break-even
1 ÷ odds for each pick, then the average. At odds of 1.25 you need to win 80% of the time. Is the win rate above it?
- 3
Check the sample
A few hundred picks prove little. Thousands start to.
- 4
Check the price you would get
Quoted odds you can't find at your own bookmaker don't count.
- 5
Check it against the close
Did the picks get better odds than the market settled on at kick-off? That is the sign of finding prices, not following them.
