Quantitative Football Research

11 Sigma applies probabilistic forecasting, systematic market valuation and portfolio-level risk management to football markets.

Our objective is not to predict individual matches. It is to identify mispriced probabilities, allocate capital efficiently and evaluate performance over a sufficiently large sample.

The Bet Is Not The Asset

The viral claim that young investors are swapping stocks for sports bets is directionally important, but easy to over-read. The question for serious market participants is not whether a wager can be made to look like an investment. It is whether a repeatable edge can be identified, priced, sized, audited and reported with investment-grade discipline.
