Magazine pieces that explain the numbers on this page.
The same operator holds back 5.70% in the Premier League, 10.59% in Ligue 1 and 9.88% across its whole listing. The league you pick matters more than the bookmaker you pick.
It wins on 0, 1 or 2 total goals, and it came in on 49.1% of the 254,498 matches in our archive. How often that happens league by league — and why a thirty-year average is the wrong number to look at.
Three matches in seven days should change everything. We looked for the effect in the archive three ways: the first finds nothing, the second finds the opposite, the third explains why.
