  • Episode 52: Index Psychology with $2.3 Million Winnings Pro Poker Player Jonathan Gill

    First up, Jonathan and I discuss what FI can learn from both poker websites and Fantasy Premier league to help broaden it's audience!

    Next we discuss Jonathan's lucky charm for poker.....and maybe Football INDEX?

    What most people want to know of course is what trasnferable skills there are between the two areas of gambling. Does being a poker veteran help one keep a cool head during tough times in the market? Does risk management come far more naturally? Is patience easier to practice?

    Next, I ask Jonathan what annoys him more-losing a hand or a failed investment on FI. His answer is certainly interesting!

    We then go on to speak about the future of FI and where it can improve! How could it make itself more appealing to smaller porfolios/new entrants into the market? How can it create a more sticky customer base by creating a 'rakeback' inspired system for loyal traders?

  • Episode 51: Football index Podcast | Your Bet's Not Over After 90 Minutes with Oli Price-Bates

    First up, I asked Oli about his FI journey. Why didn't he join when he spotted the product a couple years ago? What changed to turn his head?

    After that, I ask Oli if FI has changed the way he watches football.....has it been more enjoyable? Or slightly painful?

    We then talk about Arsenal, the subject of Oli's expertise. What effect will Gazidis leaving the club have from an FI standpoint? What does the future hold for Aaron Ramsey, both on the pitch and on the index? How will Mhkitaryan and Ozil do under Emery?

    Moving to Manchester United, we talk about Mourinho and Paul Pogba! What will Pogba's price do in the future? What will Manchester United's (potential) future manager do to player prices?

    Next up, I ask Oli what changes he'd make to FI and it was certainly an interesting chat!

    Finally, we discuss none other than the Ronaldo situation. An unprecedent turn of events both in world football but also the index, how will FI react to the current ongoing investigation?

          • Episode 46: Another Analytical Special with Edge Founders SOTD (Lee) and AB (Joel)

            First up, it was rude not to ask the guys how and why they started Edge, and how it's developed since it's inception. How does it help users? What's the importance or relavance of statistical analysis on the Index?

            Onto our first question- we talk about the ever changing nature of the beast that is Football Index. We've seen massive rises in players just for increased game time, even though they may never win PB. Why is this? Lee and Joel both had very interesting reasons for why this might be happening.

            Next up, we talk about FI actually started their own data service or database. How would this impact third party data providers who are currently building good products? Should they concentrate on creating a more rigid and robust platform, and let these third parties concentrate on the data side of things?

            We then move on to talk about what the most important or significant statistic to analyse is....and we all had differring viewpoints which was brilliant!

            Afterwards, we speak about the limitations of using isolated stats when buying players. Why is this dangerous from an investment perspective, and how can we help eductate the FI community that a wider sample is needed when deciding to put your money where your mouth is!

            How much research is required whne buying a player and when do you use your gut? We've all made money doing both- but when should you use each tactic? Just how extensively should you research a player when investing in them?

            Finally, we talk about the future of Football Index, and what it could become as a platform!
