Ricass Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Has anyone looked into football over/under 2.5 goals based on weather conditions? Is there anywhere I can get the weather conditions for a location for the date the game was played? Theory is that there would be less goals if its raining/freezing temps and/or hot summer conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennon Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Over/Under Based on weather conditions I use this site http://www.wunderground.com/ ... What I do is first type the city of the home teams stadium ... then I look for the closest weather station to the stadium by scrolling down, clicking on "Weather Stations WunderMap" and then typing in the longitude/latitude of the stadium ... I don't include any weather info that is 10 miles or further away from the stadium ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get more Unders when its bad weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennon Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Over/Under Based on weather conditions I don't have enough data to make any conclusions yet ... only started tracking weather at the very end of the premiership season ... One thing I have noticed is that when the temperature is over 30 degrees celcius, you are more likely to get draws ... small sample but for the 13 games I have for games over 30 degrees there is 1 home win, 9 draws, 3 away wins ....

muppet77 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Over/Under Based on weather conditions Wow. You have to backtest or trial that one mate. Out of interest what where the 9 draw scores? Mostly one alls? All of them under two point five goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennon Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Re: Over/Under Based on weather conditions I got 4 1-1's, 2 2-2's, 2 0-0's, and 1 3-3 ... Kind of hard to backtest because it's hard to get accurate weather data on past results ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
