Football Pools - Some Basic Elements in a Strategy to Optimise Your Chances

The results on a particular football pools coupon/match number are random, but on individual matches where teams strengths are measured and compared, under circumstances which I will identify, they are non-random. Let's compare the Pools with Roulette. Many would see Roulette as a random gambling game. Of course it isn't, at least from the point of view of the casino. The 'House' - that is, the casino - has an edge. In Europe, that edge is 2.70%, set by law, but that's all that's required in the long run to ensure that the House makes a profit. So, the fundamental approach to winning at the football pools is to make sure you have and edge - that is, the odds of winning are biased slightly in your favour from evens. Generally football teams play broadly to form, though not all results are in line with form, which is what makes it work for the football pools companies.I contend that it is possible to identify a strategy which optimises the odds of a win. Of course, to win the 'jackpot' on British football pools - absolute maximum prize - you have to have 8 draws in a line and there should be only 8 draws on the coupon, and, of course, you should be the only one with that line that week. The odds on that are very long - just selecting 8 draws from 16 matches has odds of 451 million to 1. So, what are the basic elements in a strategy to improve one's odds of a win? One element is the way in which the entry is placed. Specific plans and perms are important. These are the ways of entering multiple lines on the weekly entry, offering differing levels of 'coverage' and 'guarantee', which has to be measured against your budget and attitude to risk. This is a whole sub-genre in its own right, with many adherents to both causes, and many arguments too. Strong cases on each side - and that usually means that the difference is marginal, with plans offering specific and limited guarantees and full perms offering 100% guarantee (provided you have of course selected 8 score draws in your entry) but fewer matches covered for a given budget.
