Subject: I backed Over 4.5 Goals on every match

Hey,

Five goals in a football match.


That sounds like a lot.

So I wanted to test something slightly ridiculous...


What happens if you back Over 4.5 Goals on every single match?


No filters.

No picking high-scoring leagues.

No checking the teams.

Just blindly back it every time.

And I ran it across two full years of football data.


The results were not what I expected.


In the new podcast, I show you:

  • How often 5+ goals actually happened

  • The total profit and loss

  • The average odds

  • The longest losing runs

  • Which leagues performed best

  • What happened when I started adding filters

This is exactly why backtesting is so useful.

You can take a stupidly simple idea...

Test it across thousands of matches...


And find out whether there is anything worth pursuing before risking a penny.

P.S. Needing five goals makes 0-0 after 20 minutes feel like the match has already been going for three hours.
