Bookie Beaters

This visualisation explores the predictability of each team in the English Premier League. Bookmakers' pre-match odds are compared with the final results of each match over the course of a season, to give a diverging bar graph describing which teams have been the most, and least, predictable.

The most heavily predicted (blue) and most surprising (red) match results are highlighted in a more saturated colour, to enable identification of outliers and trends, and to find the most surprising results overall.
