Caley Thistle betting experiment

Since the beginning of calendar year 2013 I've been keeping a spread sheet relating to betting on Caley Thistle.

Every game played, I put a hypothetical £10 on the best odds available for all 3 possible outcomes. ie Home-Draw-Away.

Now that the season's finished, here is the outcome.

 

At Caledonian Stadium:

Backing Inverness CT to win you'd be DOWN £0.70 (seventy pence)

Backing the draw you'd be UP £29.20

Backing our opponents you'd be DOWN £25.80

 

Away games:

Backing Inverness CT to win you'd be DOWN £36.00

Backing the draw you'd be DOWN £30.30

Backing our opponents you'd be UP £45.90

 

We had one neutral venue game in the League Cup which counts as a draw for 90 minute betting purposes.

Including that game, the final state-of-play is:

 

Overall:

Betting £10 on ICT to win whenever they've played in 2013, you'd be DOWN £46.70

Betting £10 on ICT to draw whenever they've played in 2013, you'd be UP £32.90

Betting £10 on ICT to lose whenever they've played in 2013, you'd be UP £20.10

 

I'm not trying to draw any conclusions here or make any points, I just thought it would be interesting to do over an extended period, as I've often found myself wondering, "why don't I just stick a tenner on ICT every week"!!
