Set & Forget Football Strategies

@joshua-armstrong usually tables will show what games matter but if in any doubt leave them alone soccerstats ones are good for it.

@Martin Ive almost got 3 months of data on the lay away strat i have been researching everygame in the morning on the shortlist and getting rid of any that dont meet any of my criteria i currently have 87 games 76 of them won and 11 lost odds between 3.7 and 5.8 so decently profitable but my question is now some leagues are almost hitting last 6 games in season how do i find the promotions and relegations? I saw its researched on wikipedia? Does anyone have some more information please? Can't seem to find it? Thanks

@Arran-Shackell 14pts up
1.0 is -56pts since I created 2.0 for comparison
-
Hows the 2.0 shaping up out of curiosity in comparison?
-
@Simon-Bates leagues updated and new odds range 3.7-5.5
-
@Martin what changes have you made

@Richard-Latimer said in Set & Forget Football Strategies:
0.5 for the away started very badly with 3 successive losses while the next 3 won. It may well right itself but after Saturdays surprise capitulation by Plzen when the away team were 0.4 there is also every possibly chance that 0.5 and under is ruled out. At present 0.4 is the lowest loss but the sheer size of that loss also means nothing under 0.6 is actually profitable anymore as things stand.
And no sooner than I say that but April starts with a 1-4 pounding in Columbia against a side with just 0.4 ave points. I am going to try and avoid a single change and look at this again for May to see if it justifies removing the low numbers which my feeling at the moment is gravitating towards.

Finally, I've also found a home win amount of just 5 when the ave pts are 2 and an away loss tally of 3 or fewer is substandard. It doesn't happen too often but so far it's running at a 12pt loss from 5 selections.
-
When away is undefeated in 10 this looks iffy and I've removed for now based on initial results and logic. Only a 55% s/r thus far although only a small loss also.
Also excluded at present is a losing streak of anything over 1 although this is in the balance for future and isn't a major discussion point right now.
Of way more importance appears to be when home lost last game and away won theirs. 18 trades, 50% s/r, 11pt loss at ave odds 3.7.
-
Ave odds 1.6 against:
25 trades, 64% s/r, 7pt loss, ave lay odds 4.1
-
Ave odds 1 against:
38 trades, s/r 69%, loss of 13pts at ave odds 5.3.
It should be noted that I hadn't finished updating today. 2 more losses takes to 24pts loss while Bolivar are currently losing in Bolivia so it could get even worse.

With 2.4 and 8 home wins it's not quite as pronounced and the potential is there that one day it could be brought back in but ave odds 6.2 and 79% s/r still mean a small loss from 24 trades.
2.5, 2.6, 2.7 I'll group as they're all in line:
That's 86 trades, 69.7% s/r, a loss of 36pts and ave odds of 5.7.
-
It's a similar story with 2.2 where 6 home wins were made although only 18 trades so far:
61% s/r, 14pt deficit, ave laying odds 5.5
-
To show this isn't just a kneejerk reaction here are the results for 2.1 ave home points:
If you can't see that's 63 trades, only a 57.14% s/r laying odds of 4.8 ave and a massive 55pt deficit

Again these additional rules are on the attached sheet clearly marked:
