Gooner’s Value Bets – FAQ

What is a Gooner’s Statistical Value Bet?

A Gooner’s Statistical Value Bet is a wager where the expected value looks favourable based on our long-running performance data and price analysis. It isn’t a guarantee — it’s simply where the numbers, drawn from 27 years of league-specific data, identify similarly rated past matches and point to a potential edge.

How are the value bets calculated?

All calculations reference our published numbers spreadsheet, which has tracked global football results since 1998 and uses an ELO-style system to generate team ratings and matchup probabilities. You can view it directly here: GoonersGuide Numbers Spreadsheet.

Why do some matches not have a value bet?

Only fixtures where the data indicates a meaningful price discrepancy receive a Value Bet note. Many matches are correctly priced by the market and therefore show no statistical edge. Typically, I look for an expected value (EV) of around 115% before placing a bet, ensuring there is a clear edge. Small differences - 1%, 5%, or even 10% — are not precise enough to reliably signal a weak bookmaker line.
