An English football team with a small wage bill is one of several examples of devotion to data and sound decision-making can lead to remarkable results.
Having triumphed over France on Saturday, the Matildas will face England on Wednesday evening with an undeniable edge – a home team advantage that brings 75,000 fans cheering them on to FIFA Women’s World Cup final.
The home team advantage varies by sport, but not by geography. In a sport like baseball where the umpire has limited influence, the force is weaker compared with basketball and soccer, where the officials are far more involved.Moscowitz says that the advent of technology for key decisions has had an influence. In American football, the introduction of video replays in the late 1990s reduced the home advantage by 30 per cent.
But just like in finance, market inefficiencies are either arbitraged away only to return again later. Suboptimal, emotional and unfair decisions still flourish in both – which is encouraging for those that believe there are codes that can be cracked.One code-cracking team is English Premier League football club Brentford. The Bees aren’t exactly London’s glamour side.
