Fixing my final kicktipp statistics: July 14

July 14, 2018: The Hindu

Reviewing my statistics this Saturday morning, I realized looking at the kicktipp website that some of my statistics needed to be revised.

I am not certain if the website made changes or not. So, I have edited previous kicktipp entries.

With clarifications, I can write that with only the final match remaining:

I picked 7/8 correct group winners.

I picked Germany, incorrectly as World Cup winner, but have picked France since Germany's first match.

I have picked 8 correct scores.

I have picked 6 correct goal differences

I have picked 40/63 correct results, which is .6349 winning percentage and 63%.

If I am in error and Croatia wins the World Cup tomorrow, I will sit at 40/64, .625 and 63%

If I am in correct and France wins the World Cup tomorrow, I will sit at 41/64, .640 and 64%.

This is the last kicktipp entry for this World Cup, as I will update my football results pages on Sunday, God willing. Overall, I am pleased with the correct results, not so much with the correct scores and correct goal differences. But, I scored 45% with a similar system of choosing W1 W2, D, with Euro 2016 and this percentage of correct results is a considerable improvement! I still consider the Euro 2016 a good score within that system which was not identical to kicktipp. I had three results to choose from each match, so 45% is a good score.
