Luck or skill how this is worked out ›

Over 100 matches (Jul 2000 – May 2005), Willie Young drew 29 where the draw model expected 23.2 from those particular fixtures — about 6 more, or 1.4 standard errors, a gap most teams show over a stretch this long.

As unusual as a coin landing the same way 2 times running. A flat league average would have expected 24.6 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
