JW Henry's title odd percentages thingies

ohn W. Henry (@John_W_Henry) tweeted at 10:06 pm on Thu, Jan 02, 2014: So what are the real odds of making top four at this point? City 99%, Chelsea 91%, Arsenal 87%, LFC 61%, United 30%, Everton 20%, Spurs 12%

Where he got these I have no clue.....

 

Tobes, can you shed any light on these odds mate?

Dave, I'd also like your opinion on the matter!

Enjoy.

 

Moneyball strikes again?

 

Lol, Ohcrap didn't think of the Dave/Tobes dynamic of this thread..

I predict a furious Tobes response calling it a bucket of bollox, based largely on the gulf in % between us and the Blues according to our John lol.....

 

They don't add up to 100%

 

I shouldn't worry, neither of them have a bloody clue

 

When you actually look at the odds they make no sense whatsoever

 

They really are just randomly selected numbers.....I think he's on a Wum

 

What did you expect, the bloody yanks can't even spell Colour!

 

Do you mean color...?


they know how to make a burger though

I think my second line suggests that but that is truly not the case. Who would want to be like bluff!

 

Surprising to see Everton's percentage so low.


Oh well lol

 

Surprised Newcastle are rated so highly

 

A mod, you mean?

Who indeed.....

 

That's West Ham pal

 

What's a "mod"

Do the odds take into account January signings that have not yet happened? Otherwise, I don't understand how on earth United have better odds of making the top four than Everton.

 

I have no idea where he got those figures from but from the rest of what he wrote I would assume that they are merely illustrative - with of course a slight dig at United and Everton!

However, on a technical point %ges are not in themselves odds.
