Predictz alternative: a site that keeps its losses

Predictz is one of the most-visited free football prediction sites — daily predictions for match results, both teams to score, over/under and more, across a huge range of leagues, all free to browse. If you're looking for an alternative, it's usually for one of two reasons: you want to be able to checkwhether the predictions actually work over time, or you're tired of the pop-ups. Here's an honest look at both, and how Bawler compares.

What Predictz does well

Credit where it's 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's a reasonable starting point. Millions of people use it every month for exactly that.

The documented weakness: no record of what won and lost

The problem is accountability. 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 simply roll off the page, there's no way to add up the hits and misses and see how the site actually performs over a season. A prediction you can't look back on proves nothing, and the second gripe — heavy pop-up advertising — doesn't help. The point isn't that Predictz is dishonest; it's 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" 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.

A record you can actually check

Bawler's whole design is built around keeping its losses. Every pick is logged before kickoff, settled automatically from full-time results, and stored permanently with a tamper-evident hash anchored to Bitcoin — so nothing can be quietly edited after the fact. Because the misses stay on the page, the headline numbers are honest: across 850+ 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 exactly as calibrated for its confidence level, with the live track record showing today's exact figures. You don't have to take our word for any of it: add it up yourself on the track record, confirm nothing's been altered on the verify page, and read how the model works on the methodology page.

The honest caveats

Predictz covers more leagues and fixtures than Bawler does, and no model — Bawler's included — beats short-run variance. The right way to use any of these tools is over a large sample, treating each pick as a probability rather than a promise. Bawler's whole premise is simply that you should be able to see the misses as well as the hits. If you want a broader comparison, see our guide to the best AI football prediction tools.
