So this left me to ask the question does statistics really work in football or it just a coincidence that it happens
This statistics works sometimes but not always. If statistics works %100 then there would be no loss in prediction. So in my overall analysis I would say it's works but not always, atleast it should work 50/50 or 40/60. I could see most of time people follow some statistics and never win but always have near success syndrome. There is alot of changes that happen over time in football that makes this statistics not to always stand straight forward. Just like they said that the only thing constant in life is changes.
There is lots of trade off when relying on history and statistics they are only meant to be a guide and nothing more though in most cases history may tend to it repeat itself but it is rarely happen hence there should be more a like combination of some likely hood of looking in to various forms of historical data and that of the present in making final analysis even though non gives a guarantee of winning, in my conclusion about this concept of the thread I could that it may work and mostly likely not to work from my own observations and experience especially in football betting.
