The French Open is the third Grand Slam in a disrupted 2020 tennis calendar and represents the most competitive event of the season with most of the world’s best players expected to participate in the men’s draw. Rafael Nadal arrives at Roland Garros having skipped the hard court season and has an opportunity to equal Roger Federer’s record of 20 Grand Slam titles. Nadal starts at above evens on the betting exchanges, a remarkable price for player that has only ever lost 2 games at the French Open. He possesses a 92% win rate on clay and a 93-2 record at Roland Garros, equivalent to a 98% win ..read more

Thursday Night Football is back! The 2020 NFL season kicks off with a match-up between two young, mobile quarterbacks with strong arms, top-10 pass-blocking offensive lines and mid-to-low tier defences. The Texans are especially weak on the back-end with the first and fifth worst cornerbacks in the league at dropping into coverage. The speed of Tyreek Hill and Hardman might open up space for the perennial Pro Bowl tight end Kelce to exploit the middle of the field against a linebacking unit that was one of the ten worst in tight-end coverage throughout the 2019 season. The Texans haven't inve ..read more

The 2020/21 Premier League season is one of the most compelling in recent memory. The shortened break between last season’s points-domination by Liverpool and the start of this year’s activity has led to a flurry of transfers for most of the top league’s twenty clubs. The resurrection of Leeds United as a top flight team and the reappearance of previous Premier League stalwarts in Fulham and West Brom has added an interesting narrative to the season. Manchester City will be looking to close the points gap and maintain their xG goals supremacy over the rest of the league. European bookmakers a ..read more

Ice hockey scoring follows a similar structure to football (soccer) in that its goals are continuous, scored in integers and the event is dynamic with a time decay factor for win and goal probabilities. A simple method to estimate the number of expected goals left in a game would be to take the market’s expectation at the start of the match and decay that figure according to how much time is left in the match. For example, if you were to try and work out how many goals to expect in the last 45 minutes of a football match, you could simply half the expected goals over 90 minutes, as determined ..read more

Football is a complex sport with a wide variety of possible approaches to building tradable models. In this article, we shall focus on the more rudimentary approach of taking mostly market inputs and transforming them to probabilities and therefore prices to use as part of a basic approach to football betting on over/unders market. Broadly (and somewhat simplistically) speaking, there are two things that need to be understood when modelling sports such as football which have a continuous clock and relatively simple, unconstrained scoring. These two things are: which distribution most accurate ..read more

While this season will be remembered for Liverpool’s perceived dominance, a closer look at the statistics suggests that they weren’t the standout performers the table suggests. Prior to the season, domestic exchanges, European bookmakers and Asian bookies all suggested that Manchester City were the most likely to come out on top after the 38 game regular season, with odds of 1.6, followed closely by Liverpool at a market-price around 3.75. Sheffield United were the bookmaker’s consensus favourites for the drop, with Norwich, Brighton, Burnley, Newcastle and Aston Villa all priced lower than 4 ..read more
