Guessing Van Dijk and Gakpo were up 4 and 5.

No to mention over/under performing is usually just short term variance.

But sometimes there is opportunity where they appear to be wrong and there is a flood of backers on the wrong side.

I think the new one could be BBW. For bookie bashing wrong. Veitch’s next sentence is to praise timeform and racing post. But same applies to BB. Do an amazing job, produce a top notch product.

Chelsea Resurgence.

So how has the markets reacted to the Chelsea resurgence. Well, at first not at all. Pretty straight line until Game Week 14. Then suddenly the market readjusted.

The GW14 rating is based on the closing odds vs Southampton. Coming on the back of their 3-0 win over Villa.

The Successors.

So who will succeed City as Kings. Who is the new top rated team.

Its been a bit of a ding dong battle, with Liverpool and Arsenal flipping almost on a weekly basis.

Again, this is not my opinion but the rating implied by the closing match day odds.

Man City Collapse.

Market has been revising City implied rating all season. Even before their first defeat on GW10 (vs Bournemouth) their rating had dropped quite a bit.

A string of L's and the drop continues. It seems to me that City are now only rated as the 4th best team in the Prem.

They are based on the closing odds for given GW.

Basically I used the 1x2 odds to give the probabilities of each team winning.

ELO based rating systems generate probabilities from ratings and adjust.

I do the opposite here, I reverse the calculation to get the implied ratings from the probs.

Yes I often turn off notifications and put away phone when watching. But also enjoy the twitter reaction to incidents or if keeping an eye on other games. So would like to not have to turn off notifications.
