FAQ

What does Win% mean?
Win% is the model's projected chance that the listed favorite wins the game. The second line shows the away and home split.
How does MechaPip pick a favorite?
MechaPip scores every team with calibrated Elo ratings built from season history, then enriches each matchup with player form, team advanced stats, injuries, and starter data. The higher projected side is the forecast.
What is the rating edge?
The rating edge is the projected winner's Elo rating-point margin after the home-field adjustment. The Ratings column shows each team's Elo rating and that edge.
What do the confidence tiers mean?
70%+ = High-confidence forecast. 60-69% = Moderate-confidence forecast. 50-59% = Slight favorite.
What do top-player lines show?
Season stat leaders for each side. Totals vary by sport (points, yards, goals, or batting line).
What is MechaPicks?
The MechaPip logo in the MechaPicks column means MechaPip signaled that pick (paper or live). Rows without the logo are model forecasts only.
What injury statuses are shown?
Out listings for teams on today's board. Public ESPN injury listings, refreshed throughout the day.
How does MechaPip use injuries?
Out and Doubtful listings can adjust team Elo ratings before a forecast. The blog table shows Out players only.
For analysis only. Not financial or gambling advice.

02 · The Leagues

Seven sports. One board.

Same engine, league-specific tunings: rest, travel, starters, and sample size. A league may be benched from trading when the numbers say so — a league is never erased from the board.

All seven post every day. Trading can be benched league by league; posting never is. The board stays whole so the record stays honest.

03 · How To Read The Board

Win%, ratings, edge, MechaPicks

Every column in a MechaPip forecast means one thing. Here is the decoder.

Win%

The model’s projected chance that the listed favorite wins. The split line under it shows the away / home split.

Ratings & edge

Each team’s Elo rating and the rating-point advantage of the projected winner. The edge is a number, not a vibe.

Confidence tiers

  • STRONG70%+
  • MODERATE60–69%
  • LEAN50–59%

MechaPicks

The MechaPip mark means the pick is one of MechaPip’s five highest-confidence picks of the day, ranked by the model’s calibrated win probability — fewer when the board is smaller. Rows without the mark are model forecasts only.

Injuries

Out listings from public ESPN injury tables, refreshed through the day. Out and Doubtful can adjust team ratings before a forecast; the board shows Out players only.

The model

Pure Elo underneath: one rating per team, a sport-tuned home edge, then data enrichment — player form, team advanced stats, injuries, starters. Platt calibration maps the raw expected score to a calibrated win probability. There is no other model class.

No live money yet. Trading stays off until the model proves itself in testing; forecasts and recaps are the product either way. Nothing here is financial advice.

Free · Automation Guide

Automate the board with AI

The board is free and machine-readable. Pull the RSS feed, hand it to an AI assistant, and check the model numbers against a prediction market with the venue’s own API. The full walkthrough lives on the guide page.

1 · Pull the feed

Free RSS, refreshed with every post. Each game ships sport, both teams, UTC kickoff, projected winner, and win percentage inside a schema.org JSON-LD block.

https://www.mechapip.com/rss.xml

2 · Hand it to an AI

A copy-paste prompt and a standard-library Python parser sit on the guide page. Verify the output against the newest post before wiring anything to money.

3 · Check a market

Compare the model win percentage with a market price on Novig. Only a gap that survives fees and spread is interesting. Paper trade first.

Free, no subscription. The feed and the guide stay free. MechaPip covers the desk through disclosed partner links. Prediction markets involve risk — nothing here is financial advice.

05 · FAQ

Reading the numbers

How does MechaPip pick a favorite?

MechaPip rates every team with pure Elo built from season history, then enriches each matchup with player form, team advanced stats, injuries, and starter data. The higher projected side is the forecast.

What powers the ratings?

Pure Elo only, with Platt calibration mapping raw expected scores to win probabilities, and per-sport tunings for home edge, player boost, and movement caps. No ensembles, no second model class.

Why do all seven sports post when a league is benched from trading?

A league can be taken out of real-money trading when its numbers stop supporting it; the board still posts all seven sports, every day. Ratings are never erased to make a record look better.

Is MechaPip betting real money?

Testing first, always. A league only trades with real money after it proves itself in testing and the operator confirms. This site is forecasts and analysis for entertainment — not financial advice.
