Matches that draw at half-time but give a definite result at full time
This time I’ve tried somthing new (Well at least to me).
Figures which end with a zero before the decimal point look out of place as my programme doesn’t show a zero after the decimal point. So any figures ending ??.1 the decimal place figure one, is cosmetic only. Hope that makes sense.
Something I’ve touched upon before is the "Lay the Draw then Back the Draw".
I also told of my preference to let the games reach the halfway stage before doing anything.
Having thought about this for some time I realised that what was needed was matches that were inclined to draw at half time but give a definite result at full time. This isn’t absolutely necessary as long as we "green-up" after a goal has been scored but matches that are likely to end up with a winner are a much better tool to have on your side.
At present I’m a little cautious of the Premiership, as the pattern of results hasn’t yet approached the "norm".
I have checked thru’ the necessary results and stats and have noted teams with at least a fifty percent draw record at half time and then checked thru’ their full time results. The figures are encouraging. Although they will need to be watched and up-dated regularly, by anyone who uses them.
All the usual precautions must be taken when deciding which games to use. Up-to-date form is a must and always give thought to historical form.
The tables show firstly, the teams with an overall half-time draw record of 50% or more and then the full-time draw record. They then progress to a teams home record and finally away records. I have only dealt with those with a minimum of 50% half-time in each table. So there will be occasions when teams with a low full-time record have not been included. This is were your experience will help you decide.
