    As an update to my research....the idea was the following. took the scores from the previous week and run a standard deviation on goals for...this would serve as a filter thus cutting down the number of plays. To get a good sample was able to do the first 27 weeks, this gave a sample size of roughly 65%. The results in teams falling into +1 and +2 category. (Since a score could not below 0, then there was no neg -1 or -2 category). This was with EPL for the past 2 seasons

    the results are as follows:

    08-09
    betting against the +1 team= 1 unit gained

    09 10
    betting against the +1 team = 1 unit gained

    as you can see this is not a good method

    08-09
    betting against the +1 = loss of 23 units

    09-10
    betting against the +1 = loss of 1 unit

    Playing the draw for +1 teams

    08-09
    Plus 8 units

    09-10
    huge loss (actually stopped counting since it was huge)

    next category:

    08-09
    Betting against +2 teams= loss of 11 units

    09-10
    Betting against +2 teams = loss of 1 unit

    Not a good wager system

    08-09
    Betting with +2 teams = 1 unit gained

    09-10
    Betting with +2 team = 1 unit lossed

    not a good method

    Betting for and against the draw +2

    Not profitable

    betting the same method with +3 teams ---not profitable

    the only thing that was profitable was when a +2 played a +1 team.

    Taking the +1 team won 6 units....but the sample size was only 3 games or so.

    the good thing about experiment was the answer to if this was a good idea to handicap games.

    the bad was all the time and effort taken to come up with a failure of an idea......on to the next idea regarding handicapping soccer.
