Before every match we cover, the Form Rating names a favourite and a percentage. This page keeps the score. So far 5 of 16 picks have been right (31.3%). If the percentages were spot on, about 10 would have come in. The biggest miss so far: Martin O'Donnell beat Judd Trump 4–3 when the rating gave Judd Trump 84%.
