Value home favorites betting system

Single filters teach; stacked filters select. This template combines four independent conditions so that every qualifying match is a home favorite with a case behind it, not just a short price.

How the filter tree works

• Favorite side: the home team is the market favorite.
• Odds range: the home moneyline closes between 1.50 and 2.20, cutting unbackable short prices.
• Recent results rate: the home team won at least 50% of its last 10 matches at any venue.
• League liquidity: the league's closing liquidity sits between 8,000 and 1,000,000, keeping the sample in seriously traded markets.

All four must hold at once, an AND stack.

What to watch

• Each added filter shrinks the sample. Check the bets-per-season count before judging the curve.
• The conditions overlap: favorites in liquid leagues usually have decent form anyway, so the stack may filter less than it seems.
• Stacking filters is where overfitting starts. Change one threshold and see how fragile the result is.

Tweaks to try

• Raise the form bar to 60% and compare.
• Widen the odds band to 1.40 to 2.40 for more volume.
• Remove one filter at a time to learn which condition actually earns its place.
