Re: Does distance matter? A one year summary. Well, first things first I'd like to congratulate you for posting for a year :clap I'm by no means an expert. And even though it may not be useful at all, I gladly share my opinion :lol So my point is: looking at the bet count I think there are rooms for filtering out matches. The criteria could be: 1, Leagues. You had more success in leagues where the strength of the teams are more balanced (like English lower leagues and J-League). So maybe it's worth filtering out unprofittable leagues (like Grex's homes) 2, Odds. It's interesting to see that your profit comes from at least 5.0. Maybe it's worth to bet on only >5.0 odds, or maybe after some filtering this trend will just disappear. 3, Away matches. Well, they showed better profit... :) Best of luck to you and your system :)
