Every reading, game by game
The latest 40 games Tarot was cast for, latest kickoff first. Each reading is made before kickoff and never recast; a dash means it gave no pick for that market.
What Tarot is
Tarot is a 78-card deck: 22 major arcana, from The Fool to The World, and 56 minor arcana in four suits, Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. A card drawn upside down is reversed and reads against its upright meaning.
A three-card spread answers one question with three cards. Here the question is whether the home team wins.
How co-fo.ai turns it into a pick
- Once per game, up to 36 hours before kickoff, the server shuffles the full deck and deals three cards, each upright or reversed with even odds. The spread is stored and never redealt.
- The first card stands for the home side, the second for the away side and the third for the outcome.
- Each card has a value from −2 to +2. The Sun, The Star and The World are +2; Death, The Devil and The Tower are −2; minor cards follow their suit and number. A reversed card flips its value.
- Score = home card − away card + outcome card. Above zero is a home pick, below zero an away pick, zero no pick. In soccer, a score from −1 to +1 calls the draw.
- The side is graded twice at one flat stake: on the moneyline, and against the spread where one is posted. A soccer draw call has no spread pick.
Why a divination control?
A reading knows nothing about the teams. That is the point: it shows what a record built with no information looks like, on the same games, at the same odds and graded the same way as the rules engine. A rule is worth something only if it clearly beats it.
