What is a good alternative to Forebet?

Bawler is a model-based football prediction site (a goals-based model on rolling expected goals) whose main difference from Forebet is a public, tamper-evident, no-deletions track record: every pick is logged before kickoff and settled automatically, so the accuracy is recomputable from public data. The High confidence pick is free.

Is Bawler free like Forebet?

Yes — every prediction Bawler publishes is free: the High confidence pick, the Medium confidence and Outside shot calls, the model probabilities and the full public track record. The paid Pro tier has been discontinued and what it unlocked is now open to everyone.

A Forebet alternative: Bawler

What you get instead

One clear best pick per match by confidence level, the method written down in plain terms, and every past pick — hit or miss — kept on a record you can add up yourself.

Forebet’s league coverage is broader. That is the trade you are making.

Forebet is one of the best-known math-based prediction sites — wide coverage, probabilities for most leagues, free to browse. People looking for an alternative are usually after one of three things: a clearer track record, a sharper method, or picks they can actually act on.

What people want from a Forebet alternative

A verifiable record. Not a summary stat — the actual picks, with results, that you can add up yourself.
Transparency on method. What model, what inputs, what it is bad at.
Focus over firehose. A clear best pick per match rather than a wall of percentages.

How Bawler is different

	Typical model/stats site	Bawler
Track record	Aggregate stats, hard to audit	Every pick public, no deletions, recomputable
Pick timing	Not always pre-locked	Logged and hashed before kickoff
Method	Proprietary, often opaque	Transparent model on recent form, explained
Output	Probabilities for many markets	4 clear picks per match by confidence band
Price	Free, ad-supported	Free — every prediction, no paywall

Sites like Forebet, compared

If you searched for Forebet you have probably tried the others too. Each has a genuine strength; features change, so check the current version yourself.

Site	Good at	Honest gap
Forebet	The reference point: long-running, math-based, very wide league coverage, probabilities for lots of markets, free to browse.	No published record of how the predictions have actually done.
FootyStats	Really a stats site — deep team numbers, form, over/under and both-teams-to-score trends, with predictions layered on top.	It hands you the data and leaves the call to you, so nothing is measurable.
WinDrawWin (win-draw-win)	Free predictions with strong match previews across a big list of leagues.	The reasoning and the long-run success rate are not laid out.
Predictz	High-volume daily predictions, broad coverage, quick to scan.	No permanent record of which past calls came off.
Zulubet	Free daily predictions across many markets — handy for a fast look.	The track record is not made easy to audit.

Bawler covers fewer leagues than any of them. What it does instead is commit to a specific pick, time-stamp and hash it before the match, settle it automatically from the result, and publish the lot — so the accuracy is recomputable from public data rather than taken on trust.

The honest caveats

No model — Bawler's included — beats variance in the short run. Use any of these tools over a large sample, treating each pick as a probability. The whole premise here is simply that you should be able to check the record, which is why it is all public.
