What Do Sky Sports Know??


Recommended Posts

Well lets find out. On the Sky Sports website they do a review for the Premiership games. With every review they give a prediction. This is going to test how good they are. Using two seperate banks Im going to back their predictions in Level Stake singles. One bank will be backing just the outcome, the other will be on the predicted score. This is completly untested so please either dont follow to start with or do so with extreme caution. Bets will be placed with the best price found. Bank One 500pts starting bank 5pt singles on 1x2 Bank Two 500pts starting bank 1pt singles on correct scores

They may have saved a little face with the West Ham - Aston Villa game. Still no preview for the Monday night game. If nothing before kickoff tomorrow then its no bet.

Re: What Do Sky Sports Know??

I'd be more inclined to lay these rather than back them! (rather like David does with Lawro!) In fact I've been tempted for a while now to lay someone's correct scores predictions. Maybe I'll give it a go in another thread.
Im not actually backing this or suggesting anyone does, just tracking to see how they do. It may very well turn out that the way to go is to lay them.

Re: What Do Sky Sports Know?? I suspect these "experts" when making their tips, wouldn't take into account of the odds. All these guys are doing is saying who they'll think will win, draw or lose. In no way do they show value in their tips, if they gave a percentage of a team winning or losing then it would be different. Which lead me to a system which could be tried. If you collected tips from 100 or so of these "experts" and put them in bins of which way the result will go, you'd have a percentage that these 100 tipsters are giving a certain result. For example lets say 57 out of 100 of the selected tipsters say Man Utd will win against Arsenal on Sunday, from that you can gain a fair odds of 1.75 according to the tipsters. If these guys are that much better than us, a sample size of 100 would be more accurate than say Lawro on his own, or the sky tipsters. What do you think WFTE?

Re: What Do Sky Sports Know?? True, but this thread is more of a fun trial than a serious system. Im just interested in how accurate their predictions are rather than value bets etc. On the same part as the previews it has a poll option on the result. When you vote it gives you the current standings in %. I was thinking of maybe using this as it'd be a view of the public but unfortunatly it only gives a % and no mention ofhow many votes so no idea on how true a picture it gives.
