Scottish Premiership Profit & Loss Statistics

The table below ranks all 12 Scottish Premiership sides based on profitability (#1 being most profitable).
You can select (using the tabs) to see data based on ‘Overall‘ results (Home & Away form combined), ‘Home‘ results (home form only) and ‘Away‘ results (away form only). The data is updated every day.
We also provide P&L stats for the following leagues:
Key
-
P/L – Total profit or loss if £10 was staked on this team to win every game.
-
ROI (Return On Investment) – Total profit or loss as a % of total stakes if £10 was staked on this team to win every game.
Important: If the stats on this page haven't updated then please clear your cache.
How Are The Profit & Loss Figures Calculated
As mentioned earlier, the Profit & Loss (P/L) statistics are calculated as if you were to back each team to win every game with £10 stakes using odds from bet365. The data is then added together cumulatively throughout the season to give the total profit or loss each team would gave generated.
ROI (Return On Investment) is calculated by dividing the total Profit/Loss by the number of matches played and then converted into a percentage.

Why Statistics Help with Betting on the Scottish Premiership
So why do stats matter while placing your bets? Let’s take a look.
An Important Source of Knowledge
Of course, football is an unpredictable sport which consistently delivers novel situations and circumstances. However, the past is still a crucial source of knowledge that can guide us towards forecasting future events. Through statistical analysis, one can distinguish patterns from years gone by that could be relevant going forward.
Beat The Bookies At Their Own Game
It's no secret that bookies’ odds are largely driven by statistical data. After all, their prices rely on probabilities, which is why in most cases the punter and the bookie agree, resulting in a short-priced favourite. Bookies aren’t perfect though, and sometimes they get prices wrong. Our job is to work out which data they could be missing or overlooking and use it to our advantage.
Spot Value
If you want to be a profitable sports bettor, you must always be on the lookout for value bets. Emotional bets may come off sometimes, but chances are, this won’t work over the long term. Supporting your bets with data – such as form and expected goal metrics (xG) is a smart way to go about things. Football is becoming increasingly more data-driven, and there are numerous resources for you to play around with.
