  1. I have been back to the drawing board this summer and made up a new betting model (this time based on linear regression). It's supposed to point out good dogs with a  handicap. Hope this one is more promising then last one 😁 (though I already loved the process).

    The model predicts a Brentford +1 @1.98 as a good bet this round. So that one I take. No other bets.

  2. Already bet Netherlands -0.5 @1.83:

    1. Betting public is too happy about performance Ecuador and too disappointed in performance Netherlands but you can't compare those matches at all (it's a WC opening game with lot of tension and stress impacting game performance, Qatar is way below Senegal).
    2. Expect the Netherlands to grow into the WC with Van Gaal as top-coach fine-tuning the team. Van Gaal is strategical above Alfaro.
    3. Expect gready and important Memphis to play (instead of totally ineffective Jansen) and also Timber to play (instead of shaky De Ligt) with (in my opinion) better offensive skills.
    4. Don't let 2 goals Ecuador (against Qatar) fool you because Ecuador has trouble scoring goals. Before Qatar match they only scored 7 in 11 matches and never more than 1 per game (last 3 matches no goals) where I only count 3 'strong teams' and a lot of weak teams. The Dutch? 29 in 11 matches and only 2 matches with 1 goal (rest 2+) where I count 3 'strong teams' and a whole bunch of teams who are equal or slightly better than Ecuador.
    5. Maybe Valencia is out for Ecuador.

    I've thrown a last minute bet on Netherlands to win and BTTS at 7/2 with Bet365 after seeing that Andries Noppert is making his debut in goal for the Dutch.

    I know I'm talking 'afterwards', but Noppert is the best decision Van Gaal made so far. He's the best goalie at the moment even if he's inexperienced. I had Netherlands -0.75 @1.95 btw so I'm happy with the result! Though a 0-1 or 0-0/1-1 was a more realistic result based on performance.

    If they think a game is in for 3.8 goals and you think it's 2.9 then there's probably something wrong with your ratings! As you start out I'm pretty sure you'd do better if you took note of the spread prices rather than paid them no heed.

    How to calculate the number of goals I expect? Home strength (Home attack rating * Away defense rating * Home goals average)+ Away strength (Away attack rating * Home defense rating * Away goals average)? That results in the following (first number my calculations, second spread middle). Many are way off (these calculations are based on data this season only).

    4,432366   3.2  
    3,927636   2.75  
    1,659885   2.6  
    2,659768   2.4  
    2,291417   2.3  
    1,654608   2.2  
    2,830698   3.25  
    3,655371   2.6

  5. @harry_rag Thanks.

    1. I thought I was using recent data with just two seasons (lol). What is the name of the book you refer too?

    2. I certainly will create a system with an edge added. Just to be accounting for some variance.

    3a. Why do you think spread prices are more accurate? Didn't know about spread prices before so I read some information about it, but still don't understand how this wil blend in the mix?

    3b. So with fixed odds you mean something like this; Leicester (see example above) Bet365 odds 1,57 and True Odds 1,37 means 1,47 odds? How does that help out? When it's 'value' in the first place, it will also be 'value' after using this method (but less).

    3c. Where do you get good xG data? Understat? FootyStats? Something else?

    I'm very grateful for helping me on my way!

  6. @harry_ragHave done some trying with Excel. Just the 'normal' calculations and Poisson distribution based on goals Home and Away (data is this season and last two). Over/Under 2.5 are odds from Bet365 and TOO/TOU2.5 are true odds based on output Excel.

    1.How do you identify a potential good betting spot (solely based on this output) when you also have to account for the overround? Difference between the Bet365 and True Odds pair is around 5% juice.

    2. Do I understand it correctly that "shots on target" can also contribute to the "Home Attacking"-ratings (and thus contributes to the Poisson distribution)? Let say Arsenal has average 5 shots on target per match and league average is 4 then Shots on Target-rating is 1.25. If I say this contributes 20% to Home Attack-rating can I take 20% of this value (0.25) plus 80% of Goal-rating 1.10 (output Excel) (0.88) for a total Home Attack-rating of 1.13? I wonder because Poisson goal distribution would then be partly based on shots on targets and actual goals instead of actual goals only.
