The wisdom of the crowd...

Rather than measuring it on an outright basis, try measuring against return on stake or liability. That's how I determine if my strategy is working or getting better or worse.

Do you mean cumulative P&L as a % of cumulative stake?

Like this...

Interesting, never thought of measuring this before.

...sorry to ask what will no doubt be a dumb question James, but is your latest graph suggesting that in the 988 matches monitored there have been 78 more draws than non-draws?

ie 533 draws and 455 non-draws? or is it a percentage graph?

The graph was cumulative profit over time. Number of markets on the X-axis against cumulative P&L on the Y-axis.

1007 markets from which 289 were draws.

thanks James

are you backing the draw at the very start of the match, before the start or during the match?

Just before KO. Offering, not taking, and only when the market meets certain maturity thresholds.

Still waiting for Mr Mean Reversion to stomp all over this.

Perhaps this weekend?

Are you trading out or just placing a bet. As football can go long periods above or below average.

I haven't run my data so far this season but can do at some point this week.
