Synthetic +5% offered-odds backtests, matched model-vs-book checks, and total-goals distribution diagnostics.
This page shows only the current promoted totals model. On the full main-line sample, 5.5 is running at 0.07 pp and 6.5 at 0.16 pp. On the current season slice, 5.5 is the bigger sore spot at 0.04 pp, while 6.5 sits at -0.65 pp.
That is why the line-family calibration matters so much: 5.5 and 6.5 do not behave like the same market. The counts are shown under each bar now, because 4.5 and 7.5 main-line samples are tiny and should not be read the same way.
The raw scalar totals forecast is still under-dispersed. The calibrated totals-goals mean has predicted standard deviation 0.31 versus actual 2.31, which is why the model behaves much better on unders than overs.
The promoted totals model is the line-family + goalie version currently running in prime. The matched book sample is still small, so this page prioritizes the larger synthetic backtest view.
