Using Bookie Odds As A Starting Point

in sports •  7 years ago 

Great post @numpypython!

Looking at how teams have performed at certain odds ranges is something I do often. I haven't figured out yet whether it's better to use odds ranges or current league position, but I would expect them to yield roughly the same results. I plan to do some testing however in this area!

Thanks, @acelad! That's a great idea.... football-data.co.uk has the odds and the results readily available. A bit of work to compile the data and sort them, but i'm sure it'll be worth it.

Yeah i think you're right about the odds... the opening odds would have included current league position as a factor but not sure how much weight they assign to it versus H2H, injuries, form etc.
