How We Work

Every Gamble-24 article follows the same documented process, from the choice of topic to the date it was last updated. This page sets out that process so you can judge the work.

How do we choose topics?

Topics come from search demand data: we look at what people actually search for about season-long markets, such as a team's win total, a club's relegation odds or a league's strength of schedule, and write the article that answers it. Each topic belongs to one of our hubs, so the site builds up a complete picture of each market rather than chasing whatever is in the news.

Which sources do we use?

Season-long markets rest on a small set of primary sources, and we go to them directly:

• League rules and schedules. Official league sites and rulebooks for playoff formats, tiebreakers, season length and published schedules.
• Standings and results. Official league standings and results data.
• Sportsbook prices and house rules. The posted lines and prices we convert, and each book's own rules on settlement: pushes, minimum games, void conditions and what counts toward a total.
• Published rating methodologies. Where we discuss a model or a strength of schedule figure, we work from how its publisher says it is built.

Each article lists its sources at the foot of the page, and links sit on the claims they support.

How are articles written and checked?

Articles are drafted with the help of AI writing tools, working from the sources gathered for that article. Before anything is published, automated checks test the draft for sourcing, links and figures: every figure has to trace back to a source, links have to resolve, and a draft that fails is held back rather than patched. We do not claim that a human expert has reviewed each article, and we do not test or play-test sportsbooks.

How do we handle odds and probabilities?

Prices change constantly. When an article quotes a line, it is the line at the time of writing, and the method we show (convert the price, remove the margin, compare with the table) is the part meant to last. We never present a probability as a prediction or a tip.

How do corrections work?

If you find an error, tell us through our contact form with the page and, ideally, the source. We check it against the primary source and fix it if it is wrong. When an article changes in substance, it shows the date it was updated.

How are articles updated?

Season-long markets move as the table moves. We revisit articles when a rule changes or the numbers they rely on go stale, and the update date on each page tells you when that last happened.
