Wow England are amazing aren't they, what's with all the press around them as well? It's all well skewed....
Like 'That Bellingham goal will become history' Yeh because of how it got England out the s**t. Not because they were any good lol
What was Kyle Walker doing?!
-
@Alastair-Todd Spain v Germany will be a tasty game!
-
WHAT AN OWN GOAL FOR GEORGIA!!!!! They'd probably beat England...

@Martin U3.5 at 1.3 looks decent when you factor in only one knockout game under Southgate went over that line
wow great stat!
-
@Akiva-Anderson I think they will but 1.19 to qualify that's confidence!
-
@Martin said in *****New Football Thread*****:
6.0 looks big on Slovakia to qualify. England should get through but I wouldn't want to back them at 1.19 from what I have seen so far!
Took England to win tonight at 1.46

@Nick-Allan so are you saying 100 selections per year? This can be hard to do well on long term as that's only an average of 1 selection per 3.65 days.
That said these strategies can sometimes have the biggest edges as it makes sense that big value prices would not occur all the time.
I prefer as many results as possible really and if you have backtesting I would want more than two years in this case. I guess forward testing will be the place to add time to it.

So in the summer months which are quieter I’m doing a lot more back testing of strategies.
But one of things I’m struggling with is the amount of selections I’m getting, and to see if it’s a viable sample. So, say I’m doing an Over 2.5 goal back testing over 2 seasons in CGM (which some may use). In order to look at good strike rate and yield I may end up with only 200 games. Of course I would look at those 200 games in greater detail but should I be looking for a larger section of games with a lower yield or strike rate? So if you have 200 games at say 38% SR and 6 point yield but you have 300 games with say 35% SR and 2 point yield, which is better to analyse?
Common sense would say you favour the higher SR and yield? Of course each future selection needs analysis but i mainly want to ask about parameters that others look for in back testing a strategy? -
Looks like Holland are most likely opponent next. If that does end up the case, then I hate saying it but I don’t think he can keep Foden in the team unless we have a better end to end left back (which we don’t).
Expect he’ll match them up and play a flat midfield three (rice, Bellingham and Mainoo) and thus no room for a number 10.
In other news, Austria trade went well yesterday. Shame I didn’t take my own advise and pull the trigger on the Swiss as well. Missed that one, they went from 70 to 48 yesterday without kicking a ball.

Hard to argue with any of this.
We are beyond boring!
100% agree
-
@Wayne-Thomas 100% its not fluid, there's hardly any movement at all.

@Akiva-Anderson Absolutely. I really get the feeling those players hate playing that way. You can see the resistance to it in their attitude and effort. The sloppiness of the passing last night was ridiculous. They're really not buying into it at all. There don't seem to be any established patterns of play and every time I watch, I'm left wondering how an earth they're going to create a chance. Utter garbage!
-
England performances reflect their manager’s personality, utterly f*****g boring
-
@Andy-Donnelly Austria have looked very good, unlucky vs France too!
-
Other interesting team of note in the outrights is Switzerland. Think they are overpriced to beat Italy, and then drawn to probably play England next, which wouldn’t be beyond them unless England improve.
70 at the moment but more speculative, so wouldn’t be massive stakes
