@richard-latimer This is something I had been thinking of doing. I have probably asked you before bud, sorry, but where do you get your odds data for historical games from?

One month of testing update:
I wanted to have a look at the under 2.5 results from yesterday and I could see there were a huge amount of results. As I've been doing for ages now I thought I'd run these alongside the 1x2 odds to see what it showed:
From an initail 40 selections I've managed to narrow that down to only 15 with just 2 losses based purely on match odds.

@matt-wood .. screen shot has Home matches, Away matches played >=5.
It was way down a thread someowhere and it definitely had 2 filters for Home and Away matches played >=5 but someone else had posted the screenshot of it i think. Anyway I had imported the proper version with Overall >=10
-
@matt-wood Yes! Got it sussed now - it was the "restrict to going in play matches" that I had selected and I see that you haven't. I'm sure I saw it ticked in the thread somewhere but now I've unticked and everything tallies.Not sure why it rejected just a few random games but not worried now, ha! Thanks for your help!
-
... screen shot has Home matches, Away matches played >=5.
I am not seeing this in the screen shot I posted? Am I missing something?
The 5th line of the filter is "Ov. Matches Played>=10"Scope is set to last 5 matches from the drop down menus
-
@matt-wood Downloladed and imported exact filter, no changes. No odds limit on downloaded filter, it looks exactly like the one below in this thread, except it has different number matches played, download has Ov Matches played >=10, whereas the screen shot has Home matches, Away matches played >=5.
Should played matches be 5 or 10? That's the only difference. Maybe it's that?
Cheers, Gaz -
@gaz-hutchinson Ive just downloaded it and set scope to last 5 matches, today only and I get Avranches v Chambly on my list.
Both Grazer and FC Juniors are on the list too.
Should look like this:
-
@gaz-hutchinson HHHmmmm, I'm not sure what is going on here Gaz. Maybe @Martin can advise.
I don't have the same testing set up as Martin does, so my sheets are different to the one that Martin shares.
Does the filter download you have include an odds limit? if so maybe that is the reason?
-
@matt-wood Hi Matt, many thanks, I just went through and did everything you mentioned, deleted those leagues, and yes I had 5 days so changed to "Tomorrow or earlier". Now I have 6 and a bit pages but still the matches don't tally completely, for the same time slots that I have got, you have some additional matches (9) that I don't have on my list. Various leagues, and I have other games from those leagues, so it's not a league issue.. eg France, you have Avranches and I don't, Austria you have Grazer and FC Juniors and I don't, Romania I only have one game (Poli lasi), you have 5.
Can't see any reason for these not showing on my list - any idea, and does it matter?
Are you still monitoring England 3pm games at all? Or have you just ditched them completely?
Cheers, Gaz -

@martin @matt-wood Hi Martin and Matt, I downloaded and imported Matt's Under 2.5 set and forget strategy, and copied the FHG strategy from Martin's video last night, and for Matt's strategy the matches produced don't "match" (ha!) with Matt's spreadsheet upcoming matches.
It is throwing up insane numbers of matches 22 pages (!) from all leagues. I can see that in Matt's spreadsheet that all there is definitely some league selection, can you let me know what leagues they are - it looks like they have been tweaked along the way, so what's the current list please?
Also out of interest what's the difference between "scope last 5 Matches" and 10? There is a filter for >=10 matches so not sure what the difference is, between the "scope" matches and the "overall matches played" filter matches??
Cheers, GazAfternoon Gaz,
If you look at the thread on the forum for Matts unders, link is kindly in the opening post here from Martin, both Martin and I have listed the leagues we are using. Martin's list is a list of leagues he has EXCLUDED.
As for 22 pages! I can only guess you have the options under the main filter section ticked to 5 days into the future?"scope last 5 matches" means the software will use stats from the last 5 games for each team to generate selections based on a filter.
=10 matches will be a filter instruction that means that teams who have played less than 10 matches in their current season will NOT be considered as a selection for your filter.
Hope that helps, I am sure someone with more experience can correct anything I have wrong

@martin-walker Not yet. I have just started my 2nd round of testing. Depending on how this goes I may move onto min stakes after that.
-
@matt-wood yes thanks, are you personally trading it with real stakes yet.
-
@martin-walker Morning Martin.
My list is a bit more conventional as I didnt include some of the more obscure leagues from the start. I posted a list of the ones I use on the thread for this strat. Since then I have removed 3 (also posted).
Martin and I have taken slightly different approaches, I am less strict on odds so far. However we have both been getting loads of games, near 100 on some weekends, so some refinement will probably be needed.
Hope that helps.
-
Thanks for the help.
For matt or martin, whats your thoughts on having so many strange leagues on this, are you looking to get rid of some of them.
-
@chris-king I have excluded those leagues yes

@martin Have you stopped testing the O2.5 and HT LTD? I have been testing it as a O1.5 from KO and also a SHG and the results look much better, ill keep you updated how it goes but its running at 87% for O1.5 and 86% for SHG.....both of which return decent profit
yes I have purely to limit my workload a bit was getting over 300 results a day to get odds from and track at one point
