Predictortron ii first week test scores:

Man Utd v Liverpool: predicted 1-0 or 2-1 – actual 2-1Blackburn v QPR: 1-2 – actual 3-2Bolton v Wigan: 1-0 or 2-1 – actual 1-2Everton v Chelsea: 1-1 – actual 2-0Fulham v Stoke: 1-1 or 2-1 – actual 2-1Sunderland v Arsenal: 1-1 (1-2 next) – actual 1-2Swansea v Norwich: 2-1 or 0-0 – actual 2-3Spurs v Newcastle: 1-1 – actual 5-0

What do we think then?  The idea is that we’re in the right ballpark. all I can do now is add more games to the database which should further refine the results.

Presently I don’t think we did badly.  Man Utd v Liverpool was right, the boldness in predicting an away win for QPR is encouraging in some ways even if it didn’t get it right, and Everton v Chelsea finishing 1-1 certainly feels about right.

Fulham v Stoke was there or thereabouts, Sunderland v Arsenal we had 1-1 but 1-2 next down the list, Swansea v Norwich must go down as a surprise result so I’m happy with the prediction. and we missed Spurs v Newcastle by a mile.

All in all I think, had we put money down on the games, we’d have come out ahead, just about. you can never predict football completely but this feels like a good start. I think we could have made money on a ‘correct score’ series of bets here (or perhaps not), each result tending to be between 6-1 and 10-1.
