Click on the filter you want to backtest.

⚠️ You can only backtest saved filters.

This is the time interval used for the backtest.

All available games from the MakeYourStats database between these dates will be included.

3. Desired outcome

After selecting the filter, date range, and desired outcome, click the blue Run backtest button.

You will see that the backtest is saved and added to the queue.

Backtests run in the background, so you can safely leave the page and come back later.

A filter can have multiple backtests, each backtest will have a status.

planned - this is the first status for a backtest, it is added to the queue waiting to be started.

in progress - backtest is running in the background, wait for the results.

done - backtest is done and the results are calculated.

failed - this backtest has errors. You can try again or contact us to see what happened with it.

Once a backtest is completed, results are grouped into several sections:

Here you can see daily performance for each day where games were found.

If you click on the graph icon next to date, a modal with all the games from that date will open.

Games are sorted by starting date.

Game color is red if the game was lost or green if the game was won. 

Here you can see performance grouped by league.

Leagues are sorted by yield and then by won percentage.

This section helps you quickly identify which leagues perform best with your filter.

In this section, you can see stats by month for each month of the interval where games were found based on filter criteria.

Red - negative yield

Black - odds are not available and yield can't be calculated
