Getting Started
First, I dug around for some data. Y ot elihou know, past scores, player stats, that kind of stuff. It's all over the place, so it took a while to gather everything up.
The Messy Middle
Then came the hard part – actually trying to make sense of it all. I tried a few different approaches, some simple, some a bit more… complicated. I played around with some basic calculations, looked at win-loss records, and even dabbled in some (very) amateur statistical analysis.
- Looked at head-to-head records.
- Considered recent performance.
- Tried to factor in home-field advantage.
Honestly, a lot of it felt like throwing darts at a board. Some of my "predictions" were way off, and I quickly realized I needed to adjust my approach. I spent hours tweaking things, trying different formulas, and basically just experimenting.
The (Sort of) Result
After all that work am I confident with my prediction result? No.
But that's just my take, based on my very non-expert analysis. Don't go betting the farm on it!
