abstract = {Modelling football match outcomes is becoming increasingly popular nowadays for both team managers and betting funs. Most of the existing literature deals with modelling the number of goals scored by each team. In this paper, we work in a different direction. Instead of modelling the number of goals directly, we focus on the difference of the number of goals, i.e. the margin of victory. Modelling the differences instead of the scores themselves has some major advantages. Firstly, we eliminate correlation imposed by the fact that the two opponent teams compete each other, and secondly, we do not assume that the scored goals by each team are marginally Poisson distributed. Application of the Bayesian methodology for the Skellam's distribution using covariates is discussed. Illustrations using real data from the English Premiership for the season 2006\textendash{}2007 are provided. The advantages of the proposed approach are also discussed.},

abstract = {The problem of modelling football data has become increasingly popular in the last few years and many different models have been proposed with the aim of estimating the characteristics that bring a team to lose or win a game, or to predict the score of a particular match. We propose a Bayesian hierarchical model to fulfil both these aims and test its predictive strength based on data about the Italian Serie A 1991\textendash{}1992 championship. To overcome the issue of overshrinkage produced by the Bayesian hierarchical model, we specify a more complex mixture model that results in a better fit to the observed data. We test its performance using an example of the Italian Serie A 2007\textendash{}2008 championship.},

abstract = {Summary. Models based on the bivariate Poisson distribution are used for modelling sports data. Independent Poisson distributions are usually adopted to model the number of goals of two competing teams. We replace the independence assumption by considering a bivariate Poisson model and its extensions. The models proposed allow for correlation between the two scores, which is a plausible assumption in sports with two opposing teams competing against each other. The effect of introducing even slight correlation is discussed. Using just a bivariate Poisson distribution can improve model fit and prediction of the number of draws in football games. The model is extended by considering an inflation factor for diagonal terms in the bivariate joint distribution. This inflation improves in precision the estimation of draws and, at the same time, allows for overdispersed, relative to the simple Poisson distribution, marginal distributions. The properties of the models proposed as well as interpretation and estimation procedures are provided. An illustration of the models is presented by using data sets from football and water-polo.},

One of the factors leading to this recommendation was the possible advantage gained by the home team on such pitches. A statistical analysis of the end-of-season results for the four divisions over the last 10 years (carried out for the Football League) showed that there is indeed such an advantage and that it is of a sufficient scale to be a cause for concern.},

This paper, however, investigates the Poisson model further. Parameters representing the teams' inherent attacking and defensive strengths are incorporated and the most appropriate model is found from a hierarchy of models. Observed and expected frequencies of scores are compared and goodness-of-fit tests show that although there are some small systematic differences, an independent Poisson model gives a reasonably accurate description of football scores. Improvements can be achieved by the use of a bivariate Poisson model with a correlation between scores of 0.2.},

The Skellam distribution can be obtained by taking differences between two Poisson distributed random variables. We treat cases where observations are measured over time and where possible serial correlation is modeled via stochastically time-varying intensities of the underlying Poisson counts. The likelihood function for our model is analytically intractable and we evaluate it via a multivariate extension of numerically accelerated importance sampling techniques. We illustrate the new model by two empirical studies and verify whether our framework can adequately handle large data sets. First, we analyze long univariate high-frequency time series of U.S. stock price changes, which evolve as discrete multiples of a fixed tick size of one dollar cent. In a second illustration, we analyze the score differences between rival soccer teams using a large, unbalanced panel of seven seasons of weekly matches in the German Bundesliga.In both empirical studies, the new model provides interesting and non-trivial dynamics with a clear interpretation.},

abstract = {We develop a new dynamic multivariate model for the analysis and the forecasting of football match results in national league competitions. The proposed dynamic model is based on the score of the predictive observation mass function for a high-dimensional panel of weekly match results. Our main interest is to forecast whether the match result is a win, a loss or a draw for each team. To deliver such forecasts, the dynamic model can be based on three different dependent variables: the pairwise count of the number of goals, the difference between the number of goals, or the category of the match result (win, loss, draw). The different dependent variables require different distributional assumptions. Furthermore, different dynamic model specifications can be considered for generating the forecasts. We empirically investigate which dependent variable and which dynamic model specification yield the best forecasting results. In an extensive forecasting study, we consider match results from six large European football competitions and we validate the precision of the forecasts for a period of seven years for each competition. We conclude that our preferred dynamic model for pairwise counts delivers the most precise forecasts and outperforms benchmark and other competing models.},

Knowledge of offensive and defensive skills is valuable in the decision process before making a bet at a bookmaker. We take an applied statistician's approach to the problem, suggesting a Bayesian dynamic generalized linear model to estimate the time-dependent skills of all teams in a league, and to predict the next week-end's soccer matches. The problem is more intricate than it may appear at first glance, as we need to estimate the skills of all teams simultaneously as they are dependent. It is now possible to deal with such inference problems by using the Markov chain Monte Carlo iterative simulation technique. We show various applications of the proposed model based on the English Premier League and division 1 in 1997\textendash{}1998: prediction with application to betting, retrospective analysis of the final ranking, the detection of surprising matches and how each team's properties vary during the season.},

abstract = {We study intraday stochastic volatility for four liquid stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange using a new dynamic Skellam model for high-frequency tick-by-tick discrete price changes. Since the likelihood function is analytically intractable, we rely on numerical methods for its evaluation. Given the high number of observations per series per day (1,000 to 10,000), we adopt computationally efficient methods including Monte Carlo integration. The intraday dynamics of volatility and the high number of trades without price impact require non-trivial adjustments to the basic dynamic Skellam model. In-sample residual diagnostics and goodness-of-fit statistics show that the final model provides a good fit to the data. An extensive day-to-day forecasting study of intraday volatility shows that the dynamic modified Skellam model provides accurate forecasts compared to alternative modeling approaches.},

abstract = {Introduction
In this case study, we provide a hierarchical Bayesian model for the English Premier League
in the season of 2015/2016. The league consists of 20 teams and each two teams play two
games with each other (home and away games). So, in total, there are 38 weeks, and 380
games. We model the score difference (home team goals
-
away team goals) in each match.
The main parameters of the model are the teams' abilities which is assumed to vary over the
course of the 38 weeks. The initial abilities are determined by performance in the previous
season plus some variation. Please see the next section for more details.
We implement and fit our model in
Stan
and prepare the data and analyze the results in
R.},

This paper examines the online European football gambling market based on 14 European football leagues over a period of seven years, from season 2005/06 to 2011/12 inclusive, and takes into consideration the odds provided by numerous bookmaking firms. Contrary to common misconceptions, we demonstrate that the accuracy of bookmakers' odds has not improved over this period. More importantly, our results question market efficiency by demonstrating high profitability on the basis of consistent odds biases and numerous arbitrage opportunities.},
