Overall, 1 of 5 of Bristol Rovers's top markets land more often than they do for the typical club in the same division, by more than chance would explain, so they look like real tendencies for Bristol Rovers.

These are past frequencies, not predictions. A market that lands often is usually already priced short by bookmakers, so a high strike rate does not make it a profitable bet. Use the figures to see what is normal for Bristol Rovers, then compare them with the odds on offer.

Gambling can be addictive. 18+ only. Responsible gambling.
