Football math x

Mathematicians love to make odds on favorite for the title of a competition. In a World Cup, for example, do not let pass the opportunity to exercise their virtues. After all, before so many spotlight, the chance of glory in the unlikely chance of hitting something purely based on statistics, which serve little or no free NFL picks football - almost always unpredictable, making it a unique sport.

Well NFL predictions. And is not that some are already near to hit, reporting only to the position of teams in FIFA's rankings! This is the case study at Federal University of São Carlos, in São Paulo, where the staff of the Department of Statistics found that the Spanish champions would be at the World Cup in South Africa

And why? Simple. Because the Spaniards leading the rankings and said that, therefore, has entered the fray with some advantage. Moreover, fell into a group considered easy (although Spain reached the final with a defeat, 1 × 0 for weak Switzerland in the first phase). Findings, with all the deserved respect to the category - too obvious, when it comes to a team with so many good players. Following the mathematical prediction, the Netherlands appear (hit on) and Brazil (the only error to acceptable).

The guessing game began the college football odds, according to those just before the 2006 World Cup in Germany. They guarantee to keep working to create new forecasting models in sport - that they begin to consider, for example, the retrospect of a Cup team, for example, as well as the fact that some of them, despite having good times, always yellow in time 'H '.

However, statistics on duty said that the odds change over the competition, as the performance of each 'favorite'. So even my grandmother can make some guesses and hit the champion! Spare me!
