Full transparency on this experimental tool.
Read this first
The AI Picks are an experimental tool offered for free. These are neither betting advice nor a promise of winnings. We're testing what an AI can produce over time, with full transparency. If you bet, you do so at your own risk.
🤖What is this exactly?
A generative AI that analyzes the day's matches and suggests its picks.
The AI Picks are generated every morning by Claude, the artificial intelligence developed by Anthropic. Each day at 9 AM, the AI receives the list of soccer, tennis and basketball matches happening in the next 24 hours, along with odds from 5 bookmakers. It analyzes this information and chooses the picks it considers most interesting.
No human is involved in this process. We don't validate the AI's choices, we don't modify them, we don't add any. Our only role is to keep the system running, maintain it, and publish the results honestly, whether they're good or bad.
Our goal: see what an AI can really produce over several months, in real-world conditions.
📊How the AI picks its predictions
The 4-step process, every morning at 9 AM.
- 1Match retrievalThe system queries ESPN to retrieve the day's matches in major leagues: Premier League, Ligue 1, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Champions League, ATP/WTA tennis, and NBA.
- 2Odds retrievalOdds from 5 bookmakers (Pinnacle, 1xBet, Winamax, Betclic, Unibet) are retrieved for each match. This lets the AI see the best available odds and the market average.
- 3AI analysisClaude receives all this data and selects the picks that seem most solid according to its own criteria (recent form, history, interesting odds…). Odds must be between 1.50 and 3.00 for classic picks.
- 4PublicationThe picks are saved to the database and displayed immediately on the AI Picks page. Maximum 5 classic picks and 3 goal scorer picks per day.
🎯Why two different sections?
Classic picks and goal scorer picks are not handled the same way.
🎯 Classic picks
- ✓Maximum 5 per day
- ✓Odds between 1.50 and 3.00
- ✓Markets: 1X2, Over/Under 2.5 goals, BTTS
- ✓Odds and source bookmaker displayed
⚽ Goal scorer picks
- ✓Maximum 3 per day
- ✓Soccer only
- ✓The player scores at least one goal
- ✓No odds displayed (our choice)
📈Performance tracking
Everything is recorded, nothing is hidden.
Every morning at 8 AM, the system automatically retrieves the results of all matches that finished the day before, and updates the status of each pick:
- ✅ Won — the pick came through
- ❌ Lost — the pick didn't come through
- ⊘ Void — the match was postponed or cancelled
- ⏳ Upcoming — the match hasn't taken place yet
All numbers (win rate, average odds, 1 unit per pick simulation) are calculated automatically from the database. No way to cheat or embellish the results.
💶Why is it free?
Because it's an experiment, not a service.
Our premium picks are offered by our tipster Jérôme Bollaert, with his human expertise, deep analysis and long-term tracking. It's real work that deserves to be paid for.
The AI Picks are different. It's a test. We want to see if an AI can produce interesting results over time. If yes, great. If not, too bad. But in any case, we want everyone to see the results, good or bad.
Charging for a test would be dishonest. So it's free, and it will stay free.
⚡Limitations to know
The AI is not magic. Here's what you need to know.
- •The AI can be wrong, like everyone. A 60% success rate also means 40% losing picks.
- •Variance exists. The AI can have good streaks, then bad ones. Statistics only become meaningful after several hundred picks.
- •The AI doesn't see everything. It doesn't know last-minute injuries, exact lineups, or weather conditions.
- •The AI has no memory. Every morning it restarts from scratch. It doesn't learn from past mistakes (this is a technical constraint, not a choice).
- •Odds change. The odds displayed at the time of the pick may no longer be available when you view the page.
- •The AI can make blatant factual errors (e.g. citing a transferred player, a team in the wrong league). To minimize this risk, a second AI agent with web access verifies each pick before publication and automatically rejects those containing obvious factual errors.
🙋FAQ
The most frequently asked questions.
Can I blindly follow these picks?▼
No. No pick, human or AI, should be followed blindly. The AI Picks are primarily an object of curiosity and experimentation. If you decide to bet on these picks, you do so fully informed, at your own risk.
Why doesn't the AI make more than 5 classic picks per day?▼
We set this limit for two reasons. First, to prevent the AI from selecting too many matches without discernment. Second, so that each pick is sufficiently analyzed. Better 5 thoughtful selections than 20 random choices.
Why no odds for goal scorer picks?▼
Because goal scorer odds are not available through our free API. To include them, we'd need to switch to a paid API, which doesn't match the project's philosophy. So we'd rather display no odds than false or approximate ones.
What happens if the AI has a losing streak?▼
Nothing. We continue. That's exactly why we're doing this experiment. We want to see how the AI behaves over time, including in bad patches. Losing streaks are part of the game, for the AI as for any tipster.
Do you sometimes modify the AI's choices?▼
Never. It's a fundamental principle of the test. If the AI suggests a pick that seems absurd to us, we publish it anyway. If it misses something obvious, we don't add it. It's the only way to honestly assess its performance.
Which AI do you use exactly?▼
We use Claude Sonnet 4.6, the AI model developed by Anthropic. It's a generalist model, not specifically trained for sports predictions. That's part of what makes the experiment interesting.
Do you share data with third parties?▼
No. The picks published on this page are visible to all, but we don't share any personal data with anyone. We don't even ask you to create an account to access the AI Picks.
How can I give you feedback?▼
We're listening. If you notice a bug, a result error, or have a suggestion, use the Contact page. We read everything and take feedback into account to improve the tool.
How do you prevent the AI from citing a transferred player?▼
After each generation, a second AI agent with web access searches to verify the facts mentioned (recent transfers, teams in the correct league, etc.). If a factual error is detected, the pick is automatically rejected and doesn't appear on the public page. This filter isn't infallible, so in case of an error that slips through, we can cancel it manually.
