Method

The ATA
method

Every call follows the same process: filter, analyse, price, publish. No gut-feeling tips, no random stakes.

(01) The process

Four steps,
every call

A call is only published if it clears all four steps. If it stalls at any of them, there’s no call that day.

  1. Filter

    ATP and WTA tours, players in the top 130, events from 250 level up.

  2. Analyse

    Six angles to judge the match: stats, form, surface, head-to-head, fatigue, mindset.

  3. Price

    We compare our estimate with the odds. No value, no call.

  4. Publish

    The call goes out to the group with its odds, confidence and analysis, then joins the official tracking.

(02) The analysis

Six angles
to judge a match

A player’s name or ranking is never enough. Every match is read through these six angles before we talk odds.

  • The stats

    Serve, return, break points, season trends.

  • Form

    Recent results, current level, momentum in the event.

  • Surface

    The surfaces and events where each player rises or drops.

  • Head-to-head

    The history between the two and how their styles clash.

  • Fatigue

    Long matches, back-to-back events, travel.

  • Mindset

    Big moments, high-stakes matches, the ability to close.

(03) Value

Play value,
not emotion

Odds hide a probability. We don’t chase the winner at all costs: we look for matches where our estimate beats the bookmaker’s.

Bookmaker’s probability = 1 ÷ odds. There’s value when our estimate is higher.

Example 1

Odds
2.50
Bookmaker’s probability
40%
Estimate after analysis
50%

Value: the call goes out

Example 2

Odds
1.20
Bookmaker’s probability
83%
Estimate after analysis
75%

No value: no call, even on a favourite

(04) The format

Anatomy
of a call

Every call published in the group carries the same six pieces of information, in the same order.

  1. 1
    Context

    Tournament, tour and round.

  2. 2
    The match

    The two players.

  3. 3
    The pick

    The exact bet: winner, winning a set, score…

  4. 4
    The odds

    As found when the call goes out. Big odds are flagged.

  5. 5
    Confidence

    From 1 to 5 stars. It doesn’t change the stake: 1 unit per call in the official tracking.

  6. 6
    The analysis

    The reasoning, so you know why we play it.

(05) Discipline

Everything counts
in units

1 unit is a small percentage of your bankroll, which you set yourself. We never talk in euros: results stay comparable whatever the budget.

Only stake what you can afford to lose. If gambling becomes a problem, reach out to a support service in your country, such as begambleaware.org.

  • Flat stake

    Every call is worth 1 unit. Never double up to win back a loss.

  • Dedicated bankroll

    A separate budget you can afford to lose entirely.

  • Over time

    Losing runs happen: the method stays the same, everything is published.

(07) Our commitments

What ATA

  • Promise winnings

    Nobody wins every time.
