Why Does Numbers Game Use Two Sets Of Odds?
Football statistics are becoming more prominent in the media and surrounding conversations, and this is no accident. Top level clubs have hastily adopted a data-based approach to new signings, tactics and possession passages. With FC Midtjylland, Brentford and most notably Liverpool implementing teams of staticians to enable more informed data driven decisions, Numbers Game allows you to take advantage of this by providing you with all the necessary data (and odds) you require to make better bets.
What many punters don’t realise is, having an overall edge on any market is infinitely more profitable than any tip a self proclaimed ‘tipster’ can offer you. Most patrons have some idea that they are betting against the house and will therefore be familiar with the idiom the ‘house always wins’, numbers_game is designed to turn the odds in your favour.
Aside from our algorithmic approach to predictions, we realise the bookies don’t always (never) make it a fair game. They may offer Free Bets, Special Offers, Enhanced Odds and the like, but with the ‘soft’ bookmakers, if something seems too good to be true - it probably is. For those more experienced or professional sports gamblers, you will be familiar with the ‘sharp’ bookies too. The recent Euro 2020 match between Scotland and Croatia provides us with the perfect example to describe the difference between ‘soft’ and ‘sharp’ odds.
As Kick-off drew closer, many excitable Scots found themselves growing in confidence, especially after the first few pints had been sunk. This led to an increase in bets backing Scotland to come away with all three points. With the soft bookies (think SkyBet, Paddy Power, William Hill, Bet365) the odds on Croatia to win started to lengthen, representing a divulgence in the odds presented versus the true probability of a Croatian victory, making Croatia a much more attractive prospect to back. This is where the edge comes into play…
Because Numbers Games displays both the best and fair odds, it means you don’t need a PhD in Stats to quickly identify which bets represent good value for money, alongside the true probability of any outcome. We are sourcing this information, manipulating the data via mathematical models and presenting it to our users in a digestible format. This is how we generate an edge in the market - by making algorithms work for you.
