I downloaded the sample of the book and thought it was very good so went and bought it. However on page 20 you break down prices by odds bands, ok but not sure what the acronyms VS-Hw etc. are meant to mean? Be easier just to show the odds bands no?
Also on page 84 you then start introducing things like homeSCFT, homeSCPprob etc. and these are used as the basis for the equations. Now you hint at what they are, not in the book but on the website but no full explanation anywhere. The R notebook simply has values pre-done. I think it would be of use to anyone of a technical nature to be able to get how these figures are calculated. I code in Python and I've done stuff like attacking/defensive strength for things like Poisson and I already pull data from football-data completely automatically using a VPS.
Seems a shame you don't provide all the calculations and it means people are then reliant on you to keep updating those numbers in the spreadsheet on a daily basis.
