Our story…
How it all began?
« Good game”, an expression that literally means “well played”, is used at the end of a game to show fair play or satisfaction.
This is what we aim for at GOOD GAME!: a fairer sport and stakeholders satisfaction.
Back in 2012, Pierre Sallet was approached by justice services to act as an expert in a case involving suspicions of match-fixing. While the method, based on a deep understanding of the sport and its players, could distinguish between voluntary and natural deficiencies, subjective human advice alone, without additional support, was not admissible as evidence in court. The judge required a scientific analysis of the game, where deficiencies could be justified by data.
To meet this challenge, it took 7 years between 2012 and 2019 to a team of professionals with diverse expertise to develop and implement a method and software combining biomechanics. This innovation met judicial requirements for undeniable evidence, reaching a detection rate exceeding 99%.
In 2019, GOOD GAME! was founded, and since then, stakeholders across the sports sector—leagues, federations, betting companies, and clubs—have adopted our products and services.
