scottj15 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Hi all, I have been working on a system for a few weeks now and would like to share it on here and keep a clearer set of results/ record of it's progress. The system is for any league football and picks selections on what I believe to be the 3 biggest attributes that affect a game of football: 1) Head to Head statistics between both teams 2) Recent form of both teams 3) Home Advantage for one of the teams Because of this selections will be made on the following criteria: 1) The selected team should have over 75% of the wins out of a minimum of 10 Head to Head meetings. 2) I will be using a score system to rate each teams 5 recent games to give a score between -5 and 20. The selected team should have at least a 5 point advantage over the other. 3) The selected team should be at home. I understand that due to its fairly strict criteria this system is not going to produce a huge number of selections but I am hoping that the selections that do get picked are of a high strike rate. The staking plan is still being decided but for the time being a 10% single stake will be made for each selection. This is subject to change and because of this the system is still paper trail. Starting Bank: 10 Points Feel free to comment :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalkent Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Re: 3 Key Attributes I have tried head to head as a factor in the past in some of my models and it seems to take too much time for there to be enough games between the two teams. The relative strength of the teams can fluctuate a lot over that period. Good luck though. I will watch with interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottj15 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Re: 3 Key Attributes Thanks dalkent :ok From recently playing around with this idea I have found the selections are fairly limited however more than I expected. The odds are usually nailed on as well which may slow the profit a little but what I'm aiming for is a high strike/win rate. In time I may increase stakes slightly if my confidence in the system builds. As they say, Nothing ventured nothing gained :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntliba Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Re: 3 Key Attributes it is interesting system... but how you rate each team 5 last games? W = how many points? and so on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottj15 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Re: 3 Key Attributes it is interesting system... but how you rate each team 5 last games? W = how many points? and so on..... Hi huntliba, the score is calculated by using two scoring methods and adding them together. I have found this extends the range of possible score results giving a clearer picture of that teams form more than using just one scoring. The two scoring's are Win = 3 points, Draw = 1 point, Lose = 0 points and Win = 1, Draw = 0, Lose = -1 which are then added together. So for this weeks selections the Scores would be worked out as follows: Germany - DLWWW - Score A = 10(1+0+3+3+3) + Score B = 2(0-1+1+1+1) = 12 Austria - LWDWL - Score A = 7 + Score B = 0 = 7 So Germany have a recent form score of 12 and Austria a score of 7 which equals what I have set as the minimum difference of 5. I have setup an excel sheet which calculates all the scores for me automatically to save time and this also calculates the percentage of H2H wins again to save time so most of the selection process is auto generated and parameters can be adjusted as needed I hope this makes a bit more sense :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Estonia League Levadia have played Tammeka Tartu 35 times and have won the fixture 29 times giving them a 85% win rate.

McNamara591 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Re: 3 Key Attributes 11 from 12, very impressive indeed, I was just wondering would you be able to make a good profit by taking your selection as 2 single bets as in -1 goal and also handicap draw, I was just wondering because you hit the winners that's for sure.

scottj15 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Re: 3 Key Attributes Thanks McNamara591 :ok Thats an interesting idea and something I may look into in the near future. The whole staking strategy is still under a lot of construction as the yield is quite slow even if consistent. I've got a few ideas for the staking which I'm going to start paper trailing along side this soon. Thanks for your comments :) Selections wise its been a bit dry this week. Mainly due to lack of games but also due to me working away a fair bit. No selections for tomorrow, hopefully the weekend action will throw up some more picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
