Predictz alternative: a site that keeps its losses
Predictz is one of the most-visited free prediction sites: daily calls on match results, both teams to score and over/under, across a huge range of leagues. People go looking for an alternative for one of two reasons — they want to check whether the predictions actually work, or they are tired of the pop-ups.
What Predictz does well
Credit where it is due: Predictz is free, fast and broad. It covers far more leagues and fixtures than a focused tool would, and for a quick opinion before a weekend it is a reasonable starting point. Millions of people use it every month for exactly that.
The documented weakness: no record of what won and lost
Reviewers — including users on Trustpilot — repeatedly note that Predictz keeps no record of which predictions came off and which did not. When yesterday's predictions roll off the page, there is no way to add up the hits and misses across a season. The point is not that Predictz is dishonest; it is that without a permanent record, neither you nor anyone else can tell how good the predictions are.
How Bawler is different
| Typical free predictions site | Bawler | |
|---|---|---|
| Record of past predictions | Rolls off the page, not kept | Kept forever, never deleted |
| Hits and misses | Cannot be added up | Both shown, recomputable |
| Pick timing | Not locked | Logged and hashed before kickoff |
| Method | Undocumented | Expected-goals model, explained |
| Experience | Heavy pop-ups | Clean, no pop-up ads |
| Price | Free, ad-supported | Free — every prediction, no paywall |
"Typical free predictions site" describes common patterns in the category as of July 2026, based on public user reports — not a specific rating of Predictz. Always check any site’s current features yourself.
Because the misses stay on the page, the bands are honest: across those settled picks the High confidence band runs an accuracy in the low-to-mid 70s, the Medium confidence band around the low 50s, and the least-likely Outside shot band in the high 20s — each as calibrated for its confidence level, with the track record showing today's exact figures.
The honest caveats
Predictz covers more leagues and fixtures than Bawler does, and no model — Bawler's included — beats short-run variance. Use any of these tools over a large sample, treating each pick as a probability rather than a promise. The whole premise here is simply that you should be able to see the misses as well as the hits.
Model estimates are not guaranteed outcomes.
