What are you smoking Rog? They do give out prizes for being only one place out though don't they?
You'd have only done your money in 22 out of 40 (but you can get a pay out for missing by two in an each way bet. in which case you'd have won 27 out of 40) I reckon that's about as good as a super punter like yourself ever does.? _____ From: nswolves@googlegroups.com [mailto:nswolves@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Rog & Reet Sent: Tuesday, 20 December 2011 10:22 PM To: nswolves@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [NSWolves] Fwd: Prem league wages If only bookies gave out prizes for getting 35 out of 40 wrong.

It's interesting that the correlation is even stronger the year before. When you combine both seasons, the chance of data falling into line like that by chance is about one in 59,000,000,000 (59 billion).

The 2 x anomaly's for 2009 to 2010 being Birmingham and West Ham. Interesting that West Ham went up 2 x places in terms of the wage table for last season compared to the previous year but ended up finishing bottom and were relegated. Pity Deloitte do not publish their reports. Anybody have the figures for the season 2008 to 2009? Still not convinced Manager's have no effect whatsoever and that 90% of team performance is directly attributed to wage bill spend. Regards Paul.

West Ham is an outlier and linear regression is not robust so you get a stronger r-squared when you take it out. God knows what happened to them last season -- Boo! Thick Mick Out. -- Boo!
