Selection for the weekend, including West Ham tonight
-
It doesn't look as if BBC is going to publish the SAM predictions for the Monday game
So, I post the update including Sunday's Watford v West Ham game - the correct result, but not the correct score. I have adjusted the font - so, I hope it is easier to read.
The ROI on 1-X-2 system moves up slightly to 62% - but still VERY early days.
-
A good start for the 1-X-2 selections - 52% ROI. A marginal profit for the "correct score" system - only one winner out of eight. I suppose this is to be expected with odds of 5.5 to 8.5. It will be a roller-coaster ride - but let's see how it goes.
Summary of results in the table below, plus a selection for Sunday. Unfortunately, SAM's predictions for Monday's game are not published yet, so I will post again on Monday morning.

It's only people of my age that imagine things - it's called senile dementia
One clarification..... in the red "BET" column, "NB" = No Bet - so, there are only 5 selections for Saturday

Thanks, Harry. I recently mentioned the possibility of starting a new system in my old "HOMES" thread, but I have never used SAM's predictions before.
By the way, I apologise for the poor definition of the graphic in my first post - I will have to work on this - possibly, using another image hosting site.

I have been around on this Forum for a long time – and have published various systems with varying degrees of success
Previously, I have usually tried to develop my own statistical system for predicting the results of matches. However, this system is different in that it “piggy-backs” on the predictions of SAM (Sports Analytics Machine) – developed by Ian McHale, a professor at the University of Liverpool. The predictions apply only to the English Premier League. As SAM’s predictions are published on the BBC website, I hope that I am not infringing any copyright rules by using them.
Basically, my system takes SAM’s predictions for 1-X-2 and compares the projected probability with published odds on Bet365 in order to calculate odds “value”. Then, by applying cut-off limits to the “value” and to the odds themselves, the system selects games on which to bet 1-X-2.
SAM also predicts the most likely score-lines, and I have included these in the system as a test.
I have followed the system for a very limited number of games in the EPL this season – there are gaps in the coverage, when I failed to get access to SAM’s predictions. The performance is good, but obviously with limited data.
The table below shows the results to date, and the selections for Saturday’s games. I stress that this is still very much in the testing phase, and I recommend that nobody risks their hard cash until the system demonstrates profit (if any) over a longer period.
I will update the table after Saturday’s games, and include selections for the games to be played on Sunday and Monday (SAM’s predictions are not yet available).
Wish me luck

Can't keep a good man down - good luck, JTW
-
Good to hear again from a fellow "pensioner"
Looking forward to yet another JTW thread
-
BTW, I notice all my colourful tables have disappeared - I will have to find a new image hosting site.

I think I missed a few over Christmas & New Year - but two for this weekend.
-
Another EPL round on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday....... but, again, no qualifying games.
Personally, I hope LVG's farewell game ends in a win for United...... but, please, do not replace him with JM
-
Serie A is on its winter break, and there are no qualifying games in the Premier League this weekend.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all

The system's taking a bit of a hit these days
A Man United supporter walks into a travel agency: "I fancy a Christmas break. Where do you suggest ?"
Travel agent: "You can't beat the Canaries at this time of year".
-
Break-even last weekend. Four for this weekend.
-
Last weekend - one postponed, one loser. Still going downhill.
I am going to suspend selections over Xmas and New Year - there are so many rounds of matches, and I simply don't have time to keep the system going.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody
-
Five for the weekend..... all from Serie A.
-
It's getting worse Only two for the weekend (thank God). There was a third - Getafe v. Sociedad, but it has already started.
-
This weekend's OVERS (only).....
-
Just two for this weekend....
-
Last weekend, the UNDERS Bank went bust
So now, we can concentrate only on OVERS (actually, they are not doing very well at the moment either). I will be back later with the selections.
-
And for this weekend's losers......
-
Let´s hope for an improvement.......

Another disastrous weekend.....

Not much joy with the 1-X-2 selections - into negative territory - overall ROI -3%
Better for the correct score selections, with 3 out of 10 correct - overall ROI +58%
Let's see if BBC publish the SAM predictions for the mid-week round of games.
