No human can predict how aš¼ football match will end with completeš certainty. This is just one of the many reasons why this sport is so enthralling, and exactly why it is such enormous fun to analyze matches or to place a betź¦”. The combined expertise of Professor Heuer and the rest of the team have created a way of arriving at accurate conclusions from statistics and of learning to understand phenomenons such aās streaks in Home games and how long football managers last in theāir respective roles.
Getting to the core
Andreas Heuer is the Professor for Physical Chemistry at tš„he University of Münster (Gešrmany), and an expert in the theory of Complex Systems. Is the course of a tournament predictable? Does a change of manager make sense? What impact does the factor of chance have? Heuer has dedicated himself to these big football questions for quite some time, āand has bešen working at solving them with the help of science. The findings of his studies can not only be founź¦d in his bookš "The Perfect Bet" but now also on KickForm.com.
Despite thąµ²e proven usefulš¤”ness of purely mathematical analyzes, many football fans are understandably very knowledgeable themselves about the sport, and sometimes even base their hunches or predictions of a match on gut instinct. In the end, every fan has their own way of predicting what will happeš¤Ŗn in a game. šA definitive football formula that works for absolāutely everyone does not exist; this whyš ° KickForm allows football fans to create their own formula themselves.
Julia Benzing, a sports statistician frošm the Technical Unš¶iversity of Dortmund, is one of the most vital members of the KickForm team. When she is not developing algorithms for KickForm, Juliaź¦ Benzig is grappling with questions such š¦©as "Do the achievements of Borussia Dortmund have an impact on the quantity and quality of freshman at the Technical University of Dortmund?" as well as other interesting topics. In fact, her Master's tāhesis tackled the relationshipā between football predictions and statistics (“Statistical Methods for the Prediction of Football Matches”).
Johannes is a student of mathematics at thš·e Free University Berlin ( Freie Universität Berlin ) and a football statistics enthusiast; His Bacheš“lor's thesis (entitled “The Optimal Fooštball Bet”) was an intensive study of football betting. His theoretical calculations for a precise-as-possible estimation of betting events' probability, as well how to place the optimal wager for the maximization of capiš„tal at the lowest possible riskš, are also put into practice at KickForm. Johannes utilizes KickForm's Football Formula with the Kelly Criterion Calculator against historical odds of eight years. At the end of this simulation, there was, on average, more than a doubš°ling of capital per season.
When Johannes is noź¦t working on the mathematics of football, he likes to play the piano or chess, or pursue his passion for ball games on the basketball court.
