37 WGM #62 2018/09 wgm8.com WGM分析新赛季英超上游的皇者争霸以及下游的保级大战,并与读者们分享投注 时应注意的关键。 WGM takes a look at some of the main contenders for the top and bottom of the table this English Premier League season and what to be aware of when putting your money on the line. 在 本专栏最近刊登的一篇文章中,我们在讨论世界 杯决赛周时,不禁慨叹其往绩数据极为有限。英 超则截然相反,既是名副其实的信息宝库,也是 精明投注者的金矿。英超在全球各地的知名度无远弗届, 且往绩数据可谓取之不竭,对入门级投注者而言,英超亦 是极具吸引力的联赛。 针对投注体育博彩,我们制定了研究、价值、资金管 理、最佳赔率和忽视主流媒体报道等五大要素。事实上, 大多数足球球迷都能轻松地满足第一和第五项。 本文的重点,在于介绍研究这一元素。在世界杯决赛 周期间,可供投注的比赛数目仅有64场。在长达38 周的英 超赛季中,可供投注的比赛数目则高达380场。 自1992年创立开始,英超仅有四支球队多次夺得冠 军,分别是曼联、阿森纳、切尔西和曼城。除此以外, 曾夺冠的仅有另外两支球队,即1994-95赛季的布莱克本 流浪者和2015-16赛季的莱斯特城。后者之称雄英超,被 誉为体育历史上最大的冷门,可见挑战英超豪门难度之 高。 新赛季伊始,卫冕冠军的曼城在赔率方面一骑绝尘, 是为1赔1.6的大热门。根据我们估计,曼城成为2009年 以来首支卫冕成功球队的几率约为49%。曼城在上赛季接 连打破多项纪录,如最高积分(100分)、最多胜仗(32 场)、最多客场胜仗(16场)及最多入球(106球)等等, 难怪被追捧为新赛季的超级大热门。 I n a recent column, we discussed the World Cup finals while lamenting the tiny sample size from which to derive information. In stark contrast, the English Premier League is a veritable treasure trove of information and a gold mine for astute punters. It’s also a great sport and league for betting newcomers as a wealth of information is available and the competition is well known across the globe. Remembering our five pillars of sports betting (research, value, bankroll management, best price and ignoring mainstream media coverage), most keen football fans will comfortably tick the first and last boxes. It’s that research element that we’ll be focusing on here. In the World Cup finals, we had just 64 games from which to eke out a profit. The EPL comprises 380 games across 38 weeks. In the history of the league (dating to 1992), there have been just four multiple champions – Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City. Only two other clubs have lifted the trophy – Blackburn Rovers in 1994-95 and Leicester City in 2015-16. The latter’s title win is ranked among the greatest upsets in sporting history, underlining the difficulty in upsetting the accepted order.
