LTD
Den Hag vs Utrecht
01.5
Emmen vs Jong PSV
This will also be an 02.5 trade
After a question from someone elsewhere should clarify I split stake and exit at 60 if no goal (o2.5) or 70 mins (o1.5) green up with goal .. so 47 mins for the Emmen game meant green for me

@Mr-Emmet-Moorehouse I find myself constantly revisiting the rules and trying to balance rules against the inevitable random nature of some results - so there are Stats Busters where all the stats in game say goal but its nil nil.. but overtime start to accept those as exactly that .. I was annoyed about the German game though because they are next to each other in the league and that often suggests a tighter game
I don't know if you look at such things but for me what took that German game immediately out of consideration was the fact that they were in different leagues last year.
It was on my list of potentials before that.
This is not something I have considered so far. But I may have to revisit that.
-
@Richard-Latimer interesting one that - not so far been a consideration but a good point to consider

Just a couple tonight:
LTD
Den Hag vs Utrecht
01.5
Emmen vs Jong PSV
This will also be an 02.5 trade and one which if goals come early I will look to maximise return by going to next goals market (03.5).. so sods law say it will be nil nil

@Mark-Maguire @Mr-Emmet-Moorehouse I got caught out by that game too.
Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and remind yourself that you can't win them all. Also, would you spend this much time analysing the trades which shouldn't have won but did?
Then again, maybe I'm too laid back!
Being laid back is an important trading skill, in my opinion.

We just have to accept that losses occur, that these losses are not going to be evenly distributed, and that these losses are largely irrelevant if the underlying trading idea is valid.

Hello, has anyone recorded the Goal Supremacy ratings for the fixtures below?

@Dan-MacKinnon agreed Dan.. I do find it useful to try and arrive at the mindset of understanding where the result is random as against where there is a pattern to be found .. I'm constantly using Countif functions to examine results and then vary the parameters to see if my latest daft interpretation of results is a figment of my imagination or something that will improve selection

@Mark-Maguire I have an in play filter which I am testing. It applies where there is a game with either zero or one goal at half time but where there is an expectation of an 85% chance of +0.5G at FT or an 80% chance of a +1.5G at FT. Heidenheim V Bochum was on the list, so it got me too. The bit that has me kicking myself is that I did not implement my own rules about using the in play stats as a guideline for deciding whether to take the trade or not.
-
In a previous post, I also mentioned I was working on a +1.5G filter.
The basic idea is one I either stole from Martin or stole from discussions around one of the set and forgets- it is definitely not mine.
But what I wanted to do was to take a very simple idea and see what can be gained from tinkering with it.
The original basic idea is as follows:
Over the last 111 games, it has a strike rate of 80% and average odds of 1.34.
I decided to increase the FT +2.5 criterion to greater than or equal to 50%. This reduced the number of selections to exactly 100 but increased the strike rate to 84%, with a slight drop in the average odds to 1.338.
I'll come back in a few hundred selections to see where we stand.

@Mr-Emmet-Moorehouse lovely results, how many points profit?
I only did about half of them but I ended about 2 points up on this filter.

Decent day despite the nil nil in Germany which I blame myself for because league positions being tight is a warning sign I ignored.

Hello all,
In a post a few days ago, I wrote about a SHG filter I have been working on, and I said at the time that I would post some details.
Here is the SHG filter that I have been working on- so far we are at a strike rate of about 83% over 200+ games.
I still regard this as a work in progress but I do get the feeling that it is close to where it needs to be.
Please note that is is not a set and forget filter- the aim is to get in based on the in play stats and the odds.
It is best if I present the filters without getting into my thought process, as this will allow people to take their own view:
The above has had a strike rate of about 83% over the last 200 games.
When filtering the data, I found a way to increase the strike rate.
The updated filter is as follows:
The change in the first criteria increases the strike rate to 86%, but over a reduced sample of about 100 games.
It should be noted that during the testing period, we have had an international break, so going forward it will obviously be producing far more selections.
Coming back from the international break, this weekend's trading may be a bit tricky. But that aside, the next month or two will be important for this filter.
An update on how this filter did over the weekend- 26 SHGS out of 30.
