Predicted goals - The Concept
The outcome of every football match is determined, obviously, by the number of goals scored.
Knowing this value is vital to understand what betting strategies, or Betfair trading strategies you should use to optimise your chance of profiting.
The exclusive predicted goals feature in Bet Angel will allow you to see, at a glance, which matches are most likely to contain the highest, or lowest, number of goals.
This information can be displayed right across Bet Angel and even integrated into your automated betting or trading stratgies.
Using predicted goals is quick and easy set-up and once completed can be retrieved with a simple keypress.
It’s a revolutionary way to enhance your betting or trading!
How does it work?
You will need to be using Bet Angel version 1.61 or higher to use this feature. Upgrading to the latest version is free of charge if you have a current Bet Angel subscription.
This feature uses the technology included in another Football feature, Soccer Mystic, to ‘reverse engineer’ how many goals are discounted into a market.
It’s too complex to explain the exact mathematical process, but it’s been something that’s been possible and carefully refined for a large number of years.
Each number you see represents the average number of goals this match would be expected to yield if it were played many times. So a match with a goal rating of 2.88 would expect to see 288 goals scored if this exact match were played one hundred times.
Throughout the season, these numbers should be very accurate, but on a week-to-week basis, they will see variations as unexpected results and dodgy VAR decisions skew individual results.
But if you have a strategy that relies on few goals, you would focus on the bottom of the list, and if you want more goals, your attention should be towards the top of the list.
