Ice hockey

Hockey is decided by one goalie and a few goals.

Scoring is rare, so one goalie, one power play or one empty-netter can move the price.

  1. Who is in net

    Starter and backup, against the shots each side gives up.

  2. Power play against penalty kill

    Each power play against the other side’s kill, unit by unit.

  3. Shots are not equal

    Shot danger by zone, at even strength and with the extra skater.

  4. Back-to-backs and travel

    Back-to-backs, road trips and time zones, read for both sides.

  5. Who is actually dressed

    Injury and lineup news, so a missing centre or goalie shows up first.

  6. What the line really asks

    A −1.5 puck line needs a two-goal win, empty-netters included. That is what gets priced.

Nothing hidden. Every number shows its working.

See what was read, which findings moved the chance and by how much.

How every number is made

  1. Research the match

    Thirteen passes, one question each: injuries, form, tactics, schedule, conditions, officials.

  2. Weigh every source

    A finding counts only as much as its sources earn. A stale or late source scores zero.

  3. Cap every finding

    No finding can move the number far, and a weakly sourced one moves it less.

  4. Price every outcome

    The findings become one chance per result, adding up to exactly 100%.

  5. Then check the price

    Only now does the price come in. Where our chance beats it, you see the gap.

What stands behind it

Built by engineers and AI agents. Every figure here is read from the code.

54 instruments draw each sport the way its fans read it. Prices are checked against 72 bookmakers. More than 7,000 automated tests run before every release.

Four rules every run follows

Whole, or refunded

A failed pass is retried deeper. A run that still cannot finish is never published, and your credit comes back.

The price stays out of it

No research pass sees the bookmaker’s odds, so our chance cannot copy theirs.

Refreshed before the start

Re-run four times before the start, at no cost to you.

At 72 hours, 24 hours, 6 hours and 75 minutes before the start.
Nothing hidden

Every finding shows what it did to the number and links to what it read.

Four places to ask. One shows the working.

One question, put to each: Edmonton Oilers v Seattle Kraken. Example data.

How much work goes into the answer?

13 research agents read the match, often for over an hour.

10 findings from 492 pages read, 30 cited
  • Agent 1 Availability+1.1%from 3 findings
    Seattle Kraken open without a top-four defenceman

    The club placed him on injured reserve before the opener, and the call-up likely to replace him has only a handful of NHL games. Losing a minutes-heavy defenceman reshuffles both pairs and the penalty kill.

    82% confidence
  • Agent 2 Form & underlying play+0.6%from 2 findings
    Edmonton Oilers out-chanced opponents more than results showed

    Across last season’s second half, Edmonton Oilers’ share of expected goals at five-on-five ran clearly ahead of their share of actual goals. That gap tends to close, and it closes upward.

    74% confidence
  • Agent 3 Tactics & style+0.1%from 2 findings
    Edmonton Oilers’ power play meets a weakened penalty kill

    Their first unit created more slot chances with the extra skater than almost any in the league last season. Seattle Kraken’s penalty kill loses one of its regular defencemen tonight.

    76% confidence
  • Agent 4 Matchup historyno change
    Recent meetings belong to different rosters

    Both teams have changed coaches, goaltenders or a large part of the defence across the last few seasons of meetings. The pass keeps the record and applies nothing.

    62% confidence
  • Agent 5 Historical comparables+0.3%from 1 finding
    Reshaped defences concede more in October

    In a ten-season sample, visitors opening the season with a top-four defenceman out allowed noticeably more goals than their ratings predicted, in both halves of the sample. Its overlap with the availability pass is noted and discounted.

    70% confidence
  • Agent 6 Rest, load & travelno change
    Rest is level in opening week

    The two teams come off the same preseason, with their last exhibition several days ago. The pass compared like with like and applied nothing.

    72% confidence
  • Agent 7 Weather & venueno change
    Nothing in the arena or the ice moves this

    The arena had no other event the night before, so the ice is fresh. The pass looked and found nothing, which is a result rather than an absence of one.

    70% confidence
  • Agent 8 Stakes & incentivesno change
    Opening week is two points like any other

    Neither side is resting anyone, and there is no standings pressure yet. Wanting a result is not the same as being able to get one.

    62% confidence
  • Agent 9 Officiating & discipline+0.2%from 2 findings
    Seattle Kraken spent more time short-handed than most

    They drew minor penalties at one of the higher rates in the league last season. More short-handed time against this power play is a small, named mechanism, and it is applied as one.

    64% confidence
  • Agent 10 Public information environmentno change
    Both pieces of news came from official channels

    The starter was named by the club after the skate and the defenceman’s absence came from the league’s transaction wire, so there is no doubt about either source. Each is counted once, under availability.

    82% confidence
  • Agent 11 Reporting consensusno change
    Confirmed by the league and two national outlets

    The transaction wire and two national outlets each reported the absence from their own sources. Independent confirmation raises how far the claim is trusted.

    82% confidence
  • Agent 12 Universal-pattern hypothesesno change
    A home-opener streak claim, written up and given no weight

    A widely shared claim about Edmonton Oilers’ record in home openers was written as a precise rule for the registry to test. Until it survives a holdout, it moves nothing.

    50% confidence
  • Agent 13 Adversarial review−0.3%from 1 finding
    Last season’s numbers are a season old

    Opening-week games have historically drifted further from preseason ratings than games later in the year, and both rosters changed over the summer. Part of the performance case is taken back.

No. It holds no bookmaker account and never moves your money. Recording a bet as real only adds it to your own ledger.

A bet you record at the price you were shown, with a stake you choose and no money involved. It is graded by the result like any other. Watching records the call with no stake at all.

You upload a screenshot of a bet. BAI8 reads each leg and prices the whole bet, including legs that depend on each other. A leg it cannot read is marked unread, never guessed.

From the research, never from the bookmaker. An assessment builds each chance from the match’s own evidence, and every finding is capped and weighted by how credible its sources are. Only then is the price brought in to compare. Before an assessment, there is no number.

As long as the match needs, often more than an hour. Thirteen research passes read the match, and every source they find is graded for credibility and weighted by it. If a run cannot finish, the credit is refunded.

One assessment of one match. Opening one somebody else has already run costs a credit too, and re-reading one you hold is free. A new account gets five credits to try BAI8, valid for ten days. Every plan includes credits, and packs bought on their own never expire.

BAI8 compares prices at more than seventy bookmakers, each matched to the countries that license it, and shows them in your odds format, your currency and one of six languages. Use BAI8 only where betting is legal for you.

Your edge is the gap between our chance of a result and the chance the price implies. A positive edge is an estimate, not a promise. 18+, bet lawfully where you are. Betting loses money for most people who do it.
