Understanding the Rateform Method
The Rateform method is based on concepts from "The Rating Of Chessplayers" by Professor Elo and "The Punter's Revenge" by Tony Drapkin and Richard Forsyth. This method assigns a point score to each team based on their current form. While simple in concept, its calculations are a bit more complex.
Basic Rules
1. Initial Points: Each team starts the season with 1000 points.
2. Point Contribution: Both teams contribute points to a central pool or 'kitty' when a match is played.
3. Home Advantage: The home team contributes more points to the kitty, reflecting their advantage.
4. Winning Team: The victorious team claims the kitty. If the match is a draw, both teams share the points, with the away team gaining and the home team losing points.
Calculation Example
- Home Team Points (HTPOINTS)
- Away Team Points (ATPOINTS)
- Home Contribution (HTKITTY): 7% of HTPOINTS
- Away Contribution (ATKITTY): 5% of ATPOINTS
- Total Kitty: HTKITTY + ATKITTY
Scenarios:
- Home Win: Home team adds the kitty to HTPOINTS; away team loses its contribution.- Away Win: Away team adds the kitty to ATPOINTS; home team loses its contribution.
- Draw: Both teams add half the kitty to their respective points.
Applying the Rateform Method
Calculate match outcomes by subtracting the away team's rateform from the home team's. Compare the result against predetermined values:
- Away Win: RATEFORM DIFFERENCE < -250
- Draw: RATEFORM DIFFERENCE between -250 and 150
- Home Win: RATEFORM DIFFERENCE > 150
Customization and Tools
Feel free to adjust the values to suit your insights or track point changes differently, such as over the last six months. If you're tech-savvy, you could create your own data spreadsheets or software to automate these calculations. Alternatively, download free tools like the Footyforecast 2.0 software from 1X2Monster, complete with free weekly data updates, to streamline your analysis.
