What makes a banker a banker

A banker is not simply a short price. It's a fixture where the outcome is well understood, the team news is settled, and the market hasn't over-corrected. Plenty of 1.20 favourites never make this list.

How we pick them

An analyst prices the fixture independently, then compares it to the bookmaker line. A selection only carries the banker label at four or five stars of confidence, which usually means a handful per day rather than a full coupon.

Staking a banker

Short prices reward discipline and punish chasing. A 1.20 selection needs to land more than 83% of the time just to break even, so flat staking matters more here than anywhere else on the site.

If you only ever back bankers, size them the same as everything else. The edge is thin and the volume is what carries it.
