Table tennis, badminton & padel: how the predictions differ
DeuceLab covers three racket sports with the same honest, calibrated Elo method. Here's what's the same — and what changes per sport.
Same engine everywhere
All three use an Elo rating that moves after every match by the result and the opponent's strength, converted into a temperature-calibrated win probability. No market odds, no tips — and every prediction is graded walk-forward on the track-record page.
What's different
Table tennis is best-of-five sets and individual — deep history (years) across six leagues. Badminton is best-of-three games to 21, singles, on the tournament tour. Padel is tennis-scored doubles, so we rate the pair, not the player — and as our newest sport its history is shallower (clearly flagged).
Why depth matters
More history means a more settled rating and sharper calibration. That's why our table-tennis numbers are the most battle-tested, badminton is solid, and padel is honest about still building depth. The track record shows all of it side by side.
