Prognostication for the Italian Soccer (Totocalcio), Serie A ~
Excel Sports Betting Spreadsheets

Authored on January 06, 2001 — and later.

• Here is how I implemented the sports prognostication method described in a previous post: Sports Prognosticating or Betting. I used Excel for the task: one workbook consisting of 19 sheets. Each Italian football (soccer or calcio) team has its own spreadsheet, divided in record at home and record on the road.
• There is also a working spreadsheet, where the final calculations are done.
• There are detailed steps on how to add data (on paper or in a spreadsheet) and how to do the calculations (or let the macros do the calculations: Sports Betting, Gambling Theory of Sport, Bet Systems, Software, Spreadsheets.

The prognostication outcomes 1, X, 2 are percentages.

* Milan and Inter are from the same city: Milano. Both teams play at home. I selected 1X2 for that reason. In addition, Inter has shown clear unpredictability. I call it surprise-ability or surprisability. It is the main feature of the Italian teams. That's why the Italian calcio is so hard to predict. Some of the teams have a high level of surprise-ability. I keep also records of the surprise-ability factor.

There is also a working spreadsheet, where the final calculations are done. The prognostication outcomes: 1, X, 2 are percentages. That's why the Italian calcio is so hard to predict. Some of the teams have a high level of surprisability: prone to surprises or upsets or unexpected results. I keep also record of the surprise-ability factor. Ion Saliu, founder of sport mathematics, science wrote on "Sports Prognosis: Prognosticating Italian soccer, calcio, toto calcio, totocalcio, Serie A, 1X2." Using theory of probability, gambling software and Excel spreadsheets in sports betting: bet on football, football association, soccer, calcio, pools, 1X2, 1x2, Serie A, B, Italian League. Run statistical analyses for football, soccer, soccer pools, calcio, toto calcio, totocalcio.
