League of Ireland Premier Division: our prediction method
What lies behind our League of Ireland Premier Division (Ireland) predictions? Odds from several bookmakers for each game, minus the margin and averaged, which give us probabilities for 1, X and 2 plus a definite tip. After 36 matches, Shamrock Rovers are first.
- The tip is the single outcome we rate highest. In matches where the favourite is barely ahead, we recommend double chance.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar divides our estimate across the three outcomes: home side wins, draw, away side wins.
- Fair odds work out as 1 divided by the probability. Bookmaker odds above that level may be value, but value does not mean the bet will win.
