Predicting Clan league results is fun, but are you really a genius when you put Masters over Optimum? (No offense)
This question is much more fun, when you have to bet against the odds!

I present you A TON of clan league division A betting odds, where you can show that you truly are smarter than the rest of us!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15QHLKvrWKc9MT9hmWOPLwgIrh1l8EVAr1gS7aB-HWRw/edit?usp=sharing

For this, I used a bottom-up approach where I calculated probabilites of outcomes of every single game that will be played and aggregated those to betting odds for tournament results, player rankings, clan rankings, ...

I tried to be as data-driven as possible with the info available and added as little as possible of my own estimations.

I am relatively confident to have calculated accurate-ish odds for CL events.

Can you beat me?

Try it by betting against my odds.
For this, I recommend we all use these few rules:

1 - You can bet 1000 tokens
2 - You shall not bet more than 50 tokens per bet

That's it.
At the end of Clan league, the better with the most return will win, and everyone with a return of >1000 tokens will have beaten me.
( I added a small bookie margin - But at least I won't collect taxes, promise)

Share your bets with us before the first CL results start coming in.

Oh, and by the way - since I used a bottom-up approach I can calculate probabilities for pretty much every scenario, so if you are curious about extra odds or probabilites, ask me).
Disclaimer: The weak link for "precise" odds will always be input data.

Rule edit since people (thankfully) got invested in this already:

1 - You can bet 1000 tokens
2 - You shall not bet more than 50 tokens per bet

3 - Bets that are essentially the same same bets like Over 5,5 and 6-0 cannot be made twice
4 - Combo bets are possible (Particularly to be able to predict precise clan rankings by comboing clan rank events)

Count me in! Its like sports betting this will be fun;)

Also my alt has all the coins on it since it plays CW at top level, I will be using that account and name for this event

Happy to hear that you like it.
But haha, you misunderstood me.

We are not betting coins or anything like that.
I will be bankrupt if something unexpected happens *cries in poor*
We are betting imaginary tokens against each other, because it's fun.

Will there be a scoreboard of some kind? Or some stats with odds?

Fivesmith makes the best stat pages

I bet on Marcus! *immediately goes bankrupt* … dang it Alex <.<

@FiveSmith: The short answer is No - not for now.

I do not plan to further automate or extend this sheet for now.
Maybe, if I have a super fun idea, I will add a new betting event in the next few days, I'll leave that option open.

But especially I am not further automating this sheet.
I am also not planning to release statistics (these give a false sense of accuracy anyways).
After bets came in and CL started, I do plan to aggregate somehow the bets though to determine a winner (scoreboard), but that's for when the time comes.

I am most interested personally in refining the accuracy of the probabilites for singular game outcomes. There are many things to consider there and I have more small twists and tweaks in that model than first come to mind.
I feel however at this point only large datasets and machine learning of some sort could help there, but I might explore these options.


If you want to jump in - and as tacky said - you are much better than me at data, statistics, visualization - then you are very welcome to do so.
