"Secrets are secrets. An edge shared is still an edge halved. If I give or sell you a secret then it's no longer a secret."I'm not quite sure where Stewboss got the idea from that I wasn't using this system myself.
That would be true if indeed you were placing the bets yourself but as you've already informed me that you haven't I don't see why you're so keen to keep it a secret. I'm not that bothered personally as I have created my own version with slightly better results than yours :-)
Maybe you could introduce an paywall version of your blog for those in the know so to speak !!
In response to Stewboss's initial enquiry about my Draws, I did say that I hadn't updated my own ratings in almost two years.
This was a very time consuming activity whose rewards were not justifying the additional time over a more basic single filter system.
With regard to the less time consuming Draw system, I stated that "it was a loser last season anyway!", but unfortunately for my wallet, that didn't mean that I hadn't followed the system.
Anyway, a minor misunderstanding, and good for Stewboss that he has a Draw System with improved results over mine, although some clarification on 'slightly better' is needed.
Are we talking ROI% or points?
Looking at the past five EPL seasons (i.e. those where the Pinnacle Closing Price is available), the highest ROI for backing the draw with one filter is 150.4%. Unfortunately this was from just seven selections, which across five seasons isn't too useful.
In terms of points, the best single filter for backing the draw returns a profit of 82.65 points (from 710 bets), while the best ROI from a filter generating an average of at least one bet per round (i.e. 38+ a season) is 21.5%, from 294 selections.

Hi, Cassini!
ReplyDeleteIn recent weeks Joseph Buchdahl has published several articles on the importance of beating the closing odds. Do you consider beating the closing odds as an important factor whether particular betting strategy is profitbale or not? Have you ever recorded closing odds yourself on a regular basis?
