Re: Noob question

I think you'd need a roughly equal number of home wins and draws in order for this to work due to the way the odds are stacked. Too many home wins and you'll find your return isn't what you think it is.

My stats for the Championship say something like
Home win 40%
Draw 31%
Away 29%

That suggests you're getting many less draws than home wins so the odds will be lower than your 2.5 avg.

Avg odds are nice for calculations but you need the results to produce the same average and that isn't always the case.
