AndyinLiverpool reacted to Comrade 86 in xG - hype or valuable stat?
The bookies themselves rely on such analysis quite a lot. They are big subscribers. On the other side, Matthew Benham, amongst other sports bettors, also relied heavily on stat analysis. He used xG in it's earliest guises to trade on football on the betting exchanges and made enough doing so to fund Matchbook, his own betting exchange. Matchbook's success in turn, allowed him to buy Brentford.
On a general note, I'm not going to involve myself in this debate as sides are clearly de-marked already, but I would say that the way some are assuming statistical analysis is used in sport is fundamentally inaccurate. It is meant to supplement and complement other tools, such as video and live scouting and even form analysis, not replace them wholesale.

Every week. Clubs dip in and out of form, move up and down the table. Ultimately come May the teams over the season are ranked 1 to 24 where they deserve to be.

AndyinLiverpool reacted to Crewton in xG - hype or valuable stat?
I understand the technical and statistical value of xG for coaches, analysts, gamblers etc, but I've never needed xG to tell me that x player couldn't hit a cow's a*se with a banjo.

A much better picture of what? Whether I'm likely to enjoy a game? It seems to me it's only useful for coaching and betting. If you do neither, it gives a picture of nothing.
Yet Live broadcasters yum this stuff up, despite the fact that anyone who wants this info can go to their bookie's website.

I don't understand this. Expected goals is more representative than actual goals? What are they more represetative of?

A ref is disinterested, as in unbiased. Not an ionterest in one side or another.

Probably being a bit thick, but why does it matter how many goals you deserve, or should score? What's the point?

AndyinLiverpool got a reaction from Premier ram in Ball Retrieval Team aka Ball Boys
Certainly not enough attention to get into a tizz when they don't throw the ball back quickly enough / throw it back too quickly (delete as applicable).

AndyinLiverpool reacted to G STAR RAM in Ball Retrieval Team aka Ball Boys
Yes, hence why I gave my opinion that I don't think young kids, who are probably having their dream day out, should be being put under the microscope and having criticism thrown at them.
