Subject: Adam's "Weekly" Update

Hey everyone


I hope everyone had a good Xmas and New Year!


I love this time of year. Somehow I manage to spend plenty of time with family at the same time as getting lots of work done without too many distractions.


I know it's been a while though since I sent out one of these updates, so here's what I've been working on.


xG Stats

We've added xG stats to the football software. You'll find them in the averages section of the "Attack Stats" table and filter dropdowns.


The stats are available for 1st half, 2nd half and full time for home, away, overall and H2H. I will say that the H2H figures are often empty because the xg history only goes back about a season.


You can also compare to opposition and league / country averages as you can with the other stats.


Women's leagues

We've started adding some of the women's leagues to the football software. It's a bit of a pain to figure out which leagues Betfair actually covers, but so far we've got:

  • Australian A-League Women

  • Danish Women's Matches

  • English FA Women's Super League 1

  • French Women's Matches

  • Italian Serie A (W)

  • Scottish Women's Matches

  • Spanish Women's Matches

Once we've finished importing the last few seasons of match history for these, the upcoming fixtures will start appearing in the software.


Highlights email

We're going to start sending out an email with highlights from our stats database, initially for football and horse racing. Things like high goal expectation, high Elo ratings differences, strong / weak Massey ratings, DOB/TROB stats for horses etc. All things that could be useful in informing your trading decisions for the upcoming day.


We're just testing the content and format at the moment and then Martin will start sending these out shortly.


If you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see in these emails, let me know.


DB audit

We've created some new database audit scripts to improve our ability to identify issues when they come up (price history gaps, etc)


Ongoing

Just before Xmas I spent a lot of time working on some video content which isn't quite ready to go out yet, but which I think people should find useful. Will keep you posted on that.


I also have a bunch of updates ready to go for the horse racing software, including draw bias, new jockey/trainer strategy rules, etc. I'm just finishing off a bigger change relating to the results group breakdown that should be really useful, then we'll get these released.

Speak soon!


Adam
