Mr. J,
I will see if I can get earlier spreads. Might take a few days! See ya, JL. |

Mr J,
Here you go. On the TAB Sportsbet site, you should be able to find all the Footytab starts for 2002 to 2004. Simply go to http://www.tabonline.com.au/cgi-bin...orts/index.html and click on Footytab, then use Results and Search. That should work. |

Yep that's the site I'm using (you pointed it out to me a few months ago). A bit of a pain flipping through each date and writing down the spreads then copying them into excel. Done '02 and '04 now anyway.

Okay, I guess if you've done 2 years that way so far, you really may as well keep going with 2003 as well.
I was actually thinking for NRL you might want to try the Footytab starts instead of the Sportsbet starts, because it's quicker (they have all 7 matches on the one page). Also, Footytab has spreads on every single game, unlike Sportsbet which doesn't have line betting on some matches. Most of the spreads are pretty similar for both.

Yep that's what I was using.
The spreads for 2 seasons should be enough to test the system, and I have decades worth of other stats. I will be looking at crowd size to see how much of an influence it can be in a game. How much difference is there in how refs rule the game (you know how the refs style can be a large influence in rugby union). If there is you might find advantages to exploit props. I might even look at weather. If the weather girl says there's an 80% chance of raining, then you'd think best bet is to judge to game as if it was going to be wet. Totals would go lower and margins should be smaller. I doubt the TAB goes that far (analysing how weather affects the game). |
