Fink Tank Ratings & Value Bets for the 16th Onwards

Posted on by Dan

You can find some background on this test here.

Fink Tank provide predictions on football games based on their model which is roughly based around shot on target. The Fink Tank team found that shots on target was the best predictor of the outcome of a football game and when you rate this for various attributes you can have a reliable prediction model. For our test, we use the predictions from Fink Tank and only bet when the predicted % chance is better than the predicted chance implied by the available bookmaker odds. The bigger the difference, the bigger the value on offer in theory.

Last week:

A pretty good performance last week with some great value on offer to return 5.05 points profit.

This week’s bets:

Things don’t look so easy this week. Note, if a game isn’t listed, it means there’s no value at all in that game. The West Brom Chelsea game is a Chelsea/ West Brom (12) Double Chance, the same as laying the draw.

Update on the performance of the Fink Tank Ratings

Posted on by Dan

This season, we’ve be tracking the performance of the free Fink Tank Ratings model. The test has been relatively simple – If the best bookmaker odds imply value according to Fink Tank’s predictions, we take the bet.

No bets this weekend with the FA cup taking over.

Update Jan 29th 2011.

I’ve missed a few mid week matches, but most of the weekend fixtures are here.

Overall the performance has been:

Points Profit: 32.28
Bets: 189
ROI (Profit on turnover): 17%

It’s still a healthy return over the season, but its interesting to note that all the profits have come from the away picks. The home games have been break even so far. If you break these down though, any home pick with 10% value or more has returned 7.68 points with a 12.5% ROI which is decent.
