Over 2.5 Goals a Different Method


Recommended Posts

@jazzman45 this is the new link

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gT8Iq0pm6aG4Dl72OMegONIfWSJHPbO2pcm5KqXTfl8/edit?usp=sharing

I had to put some helper columns in as when the sheet was picking the last 4 games it was picking the next game entered on the fixtures and results tab as the last game giving it a 0-0 result.

When you download you will have to remove the curly brackets {.....}again as described above sorry for any inconvenience caused

Last 4 games should give you below for Championship

Hi All As promised is a list of the predictions. Prices were taken on Betfair either Exchange or Sportsbook if the bet was recorded on exchange then 5 ticks were removed from the available price to account for Commission. The P/L to date is 1.84 pts.

I am sure that by searching various bookies this could have been reduced nor have I checked but this will be done when the season ends

I will continue with the over 2.5 goal selections as I think there is a chance of a profit even though the last couple of weeks have been a bit disappointing. Plus there has been interest from other form users and I wouldn't like to disappoint them by giving up

@Kentucky110

I am busy these days so I still haven't found some time to input a whole season's data and backtest it.
However, I would like to share with you some results from last week's fixture:

Picture1.png.59146bcabfb7139ee2cb679057bf937d.png

 

I would say that the "Last 4 Games" model is intriguing and off to a great start. Especially some games from the Last 4 Games model had better odds. I have started to track various leagues from around the world to test the strength of the system (even some low scoring league like Russian Premier League). But of course, it's only the first week to put this model to test, I would say that we have to wait a few more weeks to see how it goes (or if I am able to back test some seasons using the "Last 4 Games" model).

I didn't post the Under 2.5 selections (both original model or the Last 4 Games model) because the results mostly are disappointing. Of course things should turn around a few weeks later. But I would say that the system is more reliable to pick Over 2.5 than Under 2.5 goals.

I still have no ideas where to look into when we have to study Under 2.5 goals, the problem is many low scoring teams play more conservative when facing a stronger opponents, but when two low scoring teams (in other words, teams that are on the same tier or level) face each other, they might be more open to attack (as this is the chance they can beat an opponent to get 3 points to climb up the league table). I have to look into the stats pool to see if I can identify some factors that can be good indicators of good DEFENSE of a team (because the system only consider goals, I think that maybe goals are only good indicators of good OFFENSE, but not defense). Not scoring goals of course can lead to Under 2.5 games more often, but strong defense should be our main focus. However, as I have just mentioned, I still haven't got any ideas how it could be done.

Let's see how everything goes!
Thanks for your time, Ken:ok

Hi All Today's Over 2.5 selections below ( Championship you should have entered Last nights result if using your own sheet)

Note Home Away columns showing league position Home/Away games (not used in calculations)

Remember to Update results after early Kick off's it may generate another selection. If it does then I will post

@scream2012 if you check out the post on On 26/10/2018 at 5:29 PM  there is a link there it will need updating with results  if you read through the posts there are some explanations on how it is calculating the bets. There are some instructions on the sheet and you should be able to modify it for any league.if you need any help then let me know

one bet in the Premiership tomorrow

@scream2012 Hi there have you added all the results?

The Over Under sheet that you are was modified as some users wanted to rate last 4 games only and they wanted to see the under selections

From your screen shot it looks like you have Rank Last 4 games selected ( this should be Blank)

Have you added the result of the Ipswich West Brom Game played on Friday This would changes ratings as screen shot for selections Saturday was taken on Saturday

This is the screen shot I have with last 4 games blank and Fridays result entered

If you don't want to see Under selections then you can Modify your sheet

@scream2012Hi there you are still not getting the same as me

Can you show a screen shot with Ipswich game in and Aston Villa game in

Make sure the Ipswich (Friday)and the Rotherham(12:00 KO Saturday) results are entered(1-2 and 2-2) in Fixtures and Results

and you should have below

image.png.7024dac70062a0f87a158f8df9268923.png

If you don't want to see Under 2.5 then change the formula in CELL  L5 to  =IF(OR(G5="",D5=""),"",IF(AND(J5="X",I5=MIN(I$5:I$16)),"Over 2.5",""))

and copy down to CELL L16

Let me know how you get on

I still need access to your Google link so I can have a look what is wrong

You should have received an email requesting access

if your league is included in Football-Data.co.uk you could copy any paste past results from there

there are probably other sites that can be used

Other wise its a case of manual entry

OK I have had a Look I dont get the #NUM error 

So there are only 14 teams in the league

Keep each round of Games in the Rankings sheet

so games from 23/11 to 26/11 (7 matches should stay in sheet)

enter results after each game as selection may change

You should be OK to delete L18 : V27 to tidy up your sheet

The Basis of the program is to look at the league in rounds

All games need to be rated but you add but you add results as they happen as this can change the selection Sometimes not all games in the round can be entered because they have been postponed (Champions league,Europa bad weather ect) Do not enter these games

If you look at my Postings then for example Premiership this week all games played in round have been rated

The round = games played 24th 25th and 26th results are entered as they are known this sometimes changes the selection or gives a second selection in the League (examples of which have been posted)

 using the last 4 will often give a different ranking (uses a different formula) than the ranking that is uses ALL games

see example from my program below The sheet I posted replicates only the Over/Under selections and the last 4 Games

program below has calculated Tuesdays Championship selection and if you enter ALL games you should get the same

image.png.0c76a4f57249ba75536527af12950d34.png

different selection for last 4 games over ( this was added for Jazzman45)

image.png.45f957dd104689cc38d3d132fa4f8ed4.png

Hope that explains this a little more clearly

What does concern me is that your screen shot is missing Rankings for Din Bucuresti and CFR Cluj

are the formulas still in the sheet have both teams played more than 4 home games or 4 away games

if you spend a little time reading through the posts you may understand the concept a little better
