Betting Tool Comparisons

By · author of the MIT-licensed teachersbettextbook library ·

Most comparisons in this category get paid. OddsJam's own affiliate page offers a “50% lifetime share per member you refer” with “no caps” (read 24 July 2026). We take none of that. Every claim about another company is a quote from that company’s own public page, with the link and the date it was read.

A comparison page for betting analytics software states what each tool publishes about its price, data sources and method, sourced to the vendor’s own pages and dated, so a reader can check it. Nothing here is a pick, a rating, or a directive to wager. Teacher’s Bet is one of the tools described, disclosed on every page in this section.

The rules this section follows

  1. Sourced and dated. Every claim about another company links to that company’s own public pricing or feature page, and carries the date the page was read. Where a page did not state something, that is written down as “not stated” rather than guessed at.
  2. No sportsbook money, no sponsored placement. No company named here pays to appear, and no link on this site earns a commission from a sportsbook or exchange. People who send us subscribers are paid a share of what those subscribers pay us, disclosed on their post. Outbound links to other tools carry rel="nofollow".
  3. No ratings and no ranked list. There is no star score, no “#1 pick”, no editorial ranking. Ranking software you have not paid for and cannot audit produces claims that cannot be substantiated, and a synthesised rating on a finance tool is worth nothing to the reader.
  4. No adjectives about competitors. Prices, published features and quoted method descriptions only. No claims about anyone else’s accuracy, because that is not checkable from outside their paywall.
  5. Reviewed monthly. Every page here is re-verified against the source pages on the first of each month, and the date on the page is updated whether or not anything changed. A comparison with a stale date is worse than no comparison.

Disclosure

Teacher’s Bet is a competing tool. A sports-betting analytics calculator made by Escapement Technologies LLC in Syracuse, New York. Not a sportsbook: no wagers, no funds, no picks. There is a free tier. The paid tier is priced publicly, and checkout is open.

It has no commercial relationship of any kind with any other company named in this section, and receives nothing if you subscribe to one of them.

That is a conflict of interest, and writing it at the top of the page is the only honest way to handle it. The defence against it is that every claim here is checkable: the competitor facts against their own pages, and the arithmetic against an MIT-licensed Python package anyone can install.

What is not here

No head-to-head page comparing two other vendors, until the monthly review above has run for a few cycles. Two-competitor comparisons carry the highest maintenance cost of any page shape (two pricing tables, two feature sets, two changelogs), and a wrong number about a company that is not us is the one mistake this section cannot afford.

The rest of the site

These are the smallest part of the site. The Learn course is ten free lessons on the math; the calculators run it on your numbers and print the derivation; methodology documents how the fair line is built; the formula sheet puts every equation on one page.
