Poisson distribution is a method that works best for calculating statistics in sports where scoring is rare and happens in 💻 increments of one. This is why it is most widely used in association football, and occasionally in hockey, but not 💻 really utilised elsewhere – at least, not successfully.
That’s why, in this article, we’re going to focus on the former in 💻 particular, and why much of what we’ll write will be applicable to football alone. With that said, let’s begin…
What Is 💻 Poisson Distribution?
Poisson distribution is a method of calculating the most likely score in a sporting event such as football. Used 💻 by many experienced gamblers to help shape their strategies, it relies on the calculation of attack and defence strength to 💻 reach a final figure.
A mathematical concept, Poisson distribution works by converting mean averages into a probability. If we say, for 💻 example, that the football club we’re looking at scores an average of 1.7 goals in each of their games, the 💻 formula would give us the following probabilities:
