Peter,
is there a site where you can get information on the prize money in a structured way? I mean: something from which a program could scrape the information?

Peter's latest blog about what Harry Kane can teach traders mentions a psychologist and regression to the mean.
If you want to read more, it was Daniel kahneman in his book 'thinking fast and slow' and a study that was undertaken on a subject group consisting of Israeli fighter pilots. A good read if you get chance to check it out
By t
he way - regression to the mean also applies to expected odds values as well as behaviour! ( in other words you can tweak a strategy and think you results are a symptom of the change, but not always so, it just regression to the mean)
Regards
Peter
Ps can you imagine if every parent and every teacher understood this concept!

HI Peter,
Do you think it is a possibility to get the software to compete with Betfair. I'd love to see you give them a good run for thier money.
About time somebody tried to improve the exchanges, especially the high commision rates which should be reset each year. E.g - You only pay high commision on anything over £150k and that resets every April 6th.
Good on ya...
