RE: 1st November - Betting Preview Rayo Vallecano vs Celta Vigo and Wolverhampton v Everton
That was brave - 4 or more shots from a striker doesn't always come in, let alone a "left back".
I used to do a lot of betting - lots of statistics and betting models with various databases for each sport. Ice Hockey and Tennis were pretty decent for me but I don't have any time to look at it any more (I also need to migrate the code from an old laptop to my new one which is going to be a ball ache).
I reckon there's money to be made analysing referees too. Especially the likes of Mike Dean who hasn't been in the headlines recently.
I agree there is with referees and if you combine that with card stats for teams. You certainly have an edge. I will keep post previews regularly so users can see my thought process.
That's one of the databases I'd created and had started analysing. I included referee data as well as each team over the 5 previous matchweeks. I think there was potential in it but I doubt I'll ever have time to look at it again. The changes they introduced this season to make referees more lenient could have changed it anyway!
