I notice that the bookies' odds are based on our well-known elo ratings, most of the time by 100% (see clubelo.com).
These differences regarding national championships up and down tell us the story.
E.g. he tells us Olympiacos Piraeus 1568, Aris Thessaloniki 1424. The 144 points difference is a bit stung but still.
However, regarding international competitions (e.g. Europe) it is different.
Yesterday Olympiakos - Freiburg said osfp 1576 - Freiburg 1729 (before the match - with 0-3 osfp lost 8 points). From this, based on my own elo-probability converter, the performance comes out to be about 2.40 for Freiburg's double - as much as it was giving.
But shouldn't it say 1.10?
Similar discrepancies for other matches as well, judging by the result and it is by no means the first time.
So maybe the scale is wrong in order to compare groups of different countries (or even national groups)?
Can anything come of this?
