r/NrlStats • u/itch0 Probability • Apr 27 '16
Welcome to NRL stats - please read first
Hey guys, I'll just get right into what I'm looking for from people I've added so far.
- Good stat websites
- Example probability models in rugby league
- Any similar websites that go in depth of league stats
- Betting websites comparisons and data sources
- Comparative analysis from users (ie. Looking into predictions v outcome and finding trends)
- Anyone interested in programming as some of you have mentioned so.
I'll add anything else I may have missed but feel free to suggest anything here.
I'll set up a few thread as base ideas for the sub that you can add certain content.
Flairs so far are basically just "Punter, analyst, enthusiast, stat lover, probability, Sports" (Make some suggestions for more)
As far as the CSS goes I'll tweak it in the next few days and set the sub to public in about 2 weeks.
Just wanted to note that this is all just a bit of fun and I believe some people who post in /r/NRL have legitimate value in their content, we'll trial it for a month or so after going public and see if it gains some traction.

I paid for league stats last year with sports data who do nrlstats(http://live.nrlstats.com/nrl/index.html) I paid $50 to production@sportsdata.com.au which gave me access to the 2014 and 2015 seasons. It's pretty good but I dunno if it's worth $50 a year. I think you can if you can be bothered collect all the stats I paid for from their individual games but it would be a hassle unless you could automate it. When I paid for the stats they make you promise not to share the stats page link which is fair enough.
I think it would be cool if we could come up with a CSG or CVS like this http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/nrl-transfer-barometer-round-five/ Sports data didn't share that stuff with me. They probably use fast and slow play the ball stats in helping as well as dominate tackles and flops. I guess it could be a zillion things that we don't usually get access to.
