Pre-Match Scanner

The Pre-Match Scanner is the tool for people who already have a strategy. You describe it as rules, and the scanner applies those rules to every eligible upcoming fixture, alerts you when one matches, and lets you test the same rules against historical fixtures.

Building a scanner

1. 1

   Pick a market family and selection

   Coverage includes 1X2, first-half outcomes, double chance, draw no bet, Asian handicap, correct score, half-time/full-time, goals, BTTS, combos, corners, cards, shots, and shots on target, wherever KickoffScore holds model, odds, and settlement data.

2. 2

   Set the qualifying criteria

   Minimum model probability, minimum odds, and minimum edge in percentage points. All criteria apply together, so a fixture must satisfy every one of them.

3. 3

   Scope it

   Restrict to specific leagues or countries, or leave it blank for every eligible league.

4. 4

   Choose alert timing

   How far ahead of kick-off you want to be told, so alerts arrive while the price is still available.

5. 5

   Choose delivery

   Bell alerts are always available. Telegram requires connecting your account first, and a test alert confirms it works.

Starting from an existing strategy

The Explore Strategies tab holds KickoffScore strategies you can import as a starting point, plus public strategies shared by other premium users. Import one, tighten the rules to your own taste, and backtest it before enabling alerts. Your own scanners can be kept private or made public.

Backtesting

Select a scanner, choose a date range, and run it. Backtests are calculated at one unit per pick, so the result is a clean read on the rules rather than on a staking plan. Results are kept in a backtest history and can be exported to a spreadsheet.

The scanner table then tracks the live version: picks, success rate, mean odds, ROI, delivery method, and whether each scanner is active.

Scanner alerts are informational. Nothing here places a bet automatically.
