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.
-
Filter
ATP and WTA tours, players in the top 130, events from 250 level up.
-
Analyse
Six angles to judge the match: stats, form, surface, head-to-head, fatigue, mindset.
-
Price
We compare our estimate with the odds. No value, no call.
-
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.
- 1Context
Tournament, tour and round.
- 2The match
The two players.
- 3The pick
The exact bet: winner, winning a set, score…
- 4The odds
As found when the call goes out. Big odds are flagged.
- 5Confidence
From 1 to 5 stars. It doesn’t change the stake: 1 unit per call in the official tracking.
- 6The 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.
