ISBN: 9798189116001

The book's appendices, glossary and data figures, published in full and free to read, quote and cite. This is the lookup layer: the chapters are where the arithmetic is built and argued for.

Appendix A Odds conversion table Fractional, decimal and American odds against implied probability, from 1/100 out to 500/1. Appendix A Overround and margin formulas The booksum, overround and margin formulas, worked through a three-way market that sums to 104.50 per cent. Appendix A Accumulator margin table What an accumulator really costs, by number of legs, at three representative per-leg overrounds. Appendix A Rule 4 deduction bands How much a Rule 4 takes out of your winnings when a runner is withdrawn, by the price that runner was trading at. Appendix A Each-way place terms Standard each-way place terms: how many places pay, and at what fraction of the odds, by runner count and race type. Appendix B Football data sources Six football data sources compared: what each one covers, what it costs, and what its licence actually lets you do. Appendix C Model-building checklist Eleven checkpoints for building a football match model, in the order they have to be done, from data assembly to go or no-go. Appendix D Bet tracking template The fourteen columns worth recording for every bet, and the monthly audit that turns them into an answer. Appendix E The sixty-second toolkit Three tear-out cards: the ten-point price check, the Kelly quick reference, and the safety stack. Glossary Sixty betting and statistics terms Every term the book teaches, defined with worked figures and a pointer to the chapter that builds it. Figures The book's data figures The charts and tables from the printed book, with the numbers underneath each one.
