ScoreHub scoring guide
How ScoreHub points work
ScoreHub is a football prediction competition. Make match predictions, earn fixed points when you are correct, and compete on leaderboards. No betting odds and no wagers.
The simple version
Every prediction type has a fixed base-point value. A correct Match Result prediction, for example, is worth 10 base points whether you choose a home win, draw, or away win.
That does not mean every outcome is equally likely. It means the scoring table stays stable, transparent, and easy to understand.
ScoreHub rewards accurate football judgment, not betting-market prices.
Fixed points, real football probability
Football matches are not random 50/50 events. Team strength, injuries, form, tactics, venue, motivation, and match context all change how likely an outcome is.
ScoreHub keeps points fixed while leaving the football analysis to you. A broad call may be safer; a specific call may offer more points. The skill is knowing when to stay simple and when to add detail.
Worked example
England v Ghana: fixed points, different probabilities
FIFA World Cup Group L · June 23, 2026 · representative market snapshot from June 21, 2026
Public prices made England a heavy favorite: England -450, Draw +575, and Ghana +1325. After removing the bookmaker margin, the implied 1X2 probabilities were approximately:
England win
81.6%
Draw
12.9%
Ghana win
5.5%
All three Match Result selections are still worth 10 ScoreHub base points. The same snapshot put England -1.5 at about 60.8% before margin, while Over 2.5 versus Under 2.5 normalized to roughly 57.3% and 42.7%. These are market estimates, not guarantees or ScoreHub instructions.
One coherent match story
England to win, England to score 2+ goals, and Over 2.5 goals describe a match in which England controls the game and scores freely. A 2-1 result supports all three; a 1-0 England win supports only Match Result. Logical alignment makes a stack coherent, not safe.
Base points by prediction type
Broad predictions usually earn fewer points. More specific predictions earn more because they require a narrower and more accurate call.
| Prediction type | Base points | What you are predicting |
|---|---|---|
| Double Chance | 3 | Two possible match-result outcomes in one selection. |
| Both Teams to Score | 5 | Whether both teams score at least once. |
| Cards Over/Under 3.5 | 5 | Whether the match card total is over or under the set line. |
| Corners Over/Under 10.5 | 7 | Whether the match corner total is over or under the set line. |
| Over/Under 2.5 Goals | 8 | Whether the match has three or more goals, or two or fewer. |
| Match Result | 10 | Home win, draw, or away win. |
| Half-Time / Full-Time | 18 | The result at half-time and at full-time. |
| Exact Total Goals | 20 | The exact total-goal category. |
| Correct Score | 50 | The exact final scoreline. |
Base values shown reflect the current ScoreHub scoring schedule and may change as the game evolves. The value shown in the prediction flow at submission time is the value that applies.
Why some predictions are worth more
Double Chance covers two possible results, so it is broader and worth fewer points. Match Result requires one outcome. Correct Score requires the exact final scoreline, so it carries the highest base value.
Long-term success comes from balancing confidence and risk, not simply selecting the highest-point markets.
What stacking means on ScoreHub
A stack combines multiple predictions from the same match. Two fully correct selections add a 25% bonus, three add 50%, and four or more add 100%. The bonus applies only when every selection is correct; on a miss, correctly predicted legs can still retain their base points under the web scoring model.
A coherent stack
- Team A to win
- Team A to score 2 or more goals
- Over 2.5 goals
A contradictory stack
- Both Teams to Score: Yes
- Team A clean sheet
- Correct Score: 2-0
The best stacks tell one realistic match story. Avoid combinations that cannot all be true at the final whistle.
How points are settled when a stack misses
If one or more selections are wrong, the stack bonus is removed. Correct selections retain their base points, while each wrong selection contributes a penalty equal to 50% of its own base value. The final prediction result cannot go below zero.
England v Ghana stack example
A stack contains Match Result (10), Over 2.5 (8), and Both Teams to Score (5). If Match Result and Over 2.5 are correct but BTTS is wrong, the first two calls retain their base points, the stack bonus is removed, and the BTTS miss contributes a 2.5-point penalty. The zero floor applies to the final result.
This hybrid model rewards the correct parts of your football read while making unsupported additions matter. A fully correct story earns the stack upside; a partial miss loses that bonus and adds penalties for the wrong calls.
How to build better ScoreHub predictions
- 1Start with the main match call and explain why you believe it.
- 2Add goals, cards, corners, or half-time selections only when they support the same match story.
- 3Avoid contradictory selections.
- 4Do not chase the largest displayed total simply because it looks attractive.
- 5Review missed predictions and identify whether the main read or an added selection was wrong.
What ScoreHub rewards
ScoreHub rewards football judgment across several layers:
- Reading the likely match result
- Understanding how a match may develop
- Choosing the right prediction markets
- Building logical stacks
- Managing risk
- Staying disciplined over a season
Fixed points make the rules easy to understand. Real football makes every prediction difficult.

Frequently asked questions
How does ScoreHub work?
ScoreHub is a football prediction competition where users make match predictions, earn fixed points when they are correct, and compete on leaderboards.
How are ScoreHub points calculated?
Each prediction type has a fixed base-point value. A fully correct stack combines those points with a bonus: 25% for two selections, 50% for three, and 100% for four or more.
Is ScoreHub based on betting odds?
No. ScoreHub does not use sportsbook odds to determine user points and users do not place wagers. It uses a fixed scoring table for football prediction markets.
What is a ScoreHub stack?
A stack combines multiple predictions from the same match. A fully correct stack can add a 25%, 50%, or 100% bonus depending on its size.
What happens if a ScoreHub stack is partly wrong?
The stack bonus is removed. Correct legs retain their base points, each incorrect leg contributes a 50% penalty based on its base value, and the final prediction result cannot go below zero.
Why is Correct Score worth more than Match Result?
Correct Score requires the exact final scoreline, while Match Result only requires a home win, draw, or away win. The more specific call has a higher base value.
What is the best way to score more points?
Make accurate predictions, build logical stacks, and avoid unsupported extra selections. A smaller, coherent prediction can outperform a reckless high-point stack over time.
