How it works Player xG

What is it?

The BookieBashing Player xG Tool is the most advanced model available to bettors that tracks and models the expected goals of every player in every primary and secondary football match in the UK and around the world. 

The Player xG tool uses the markets to estimate the number of goals a player will score. The input  is the anytime goalscorer price and the source varies depending on the market conditions. The latest exchange price will be used if there is valid trading informaiton on Betfair Exchange. If there is no information on the exchange then the markets will be used – top price will be taken from a variety of different bookmakers. 

From the anytime goalscorer price we are able to reverse engineer the xG used by the market makers. From Player xG we can extrapolate our own prices for First Goalscorer, 2+ and 3+ that are independent of the exchange. This allows us to profit on the exchange in these markets. We also return the neutral odds and EV of all players that qualify for Betfreds Double Delight Hatrick Heaven Concession.

Team news will be available for ten leagues in the hour before kick off. When team news is received we will assign 0 xG to all players not starting, and the 20 players on the pitch (discounting goalkeepers) will have their xG normalised to equal their team xG.
