World Cup Data in excel

The Investor, I know you're helpful with other posters so I took a couple of minutes out of my life and the nearest I could find was:

http://livescore.football-data.co.uk/

They have all the main leagues stats in CSV/Excel format but all I could find for the World Cup was the basic match details under: Home/Livescores then left hand side has World Cup.

They do have links to many other stats sites so you might have more luck there.

Plenty of places offer those stats, but none preloaded into an excel spreadsheet it seems.  Looks like you'll have to do it manually the hard way

Thanks guys.

I'll do it manually then.

Check out.

It's in Swedish, but if you go to page 11, you'll see they break down their profits by sport, and for football specifically by league/cup.

World Cup qualifier 3%
Spanish Primera 7%
Champions League 5%
European League 4%
Italian Serie A 6%
English Premier League 11%
Other 52%


Football
Soccer is the core of Betting Promotion activities and represents about 81 percent of the total gaming revenue (excluding live games). Football shows a higher margin than the other market. The margin achieved in
years is in line with the historical margin. Growth in this market segment has been in line with Betting Promotion's total growth.

what do you think "Other" is? other leagues?

^
yes, other leagues/cups

"European League" should be "Europa League".

Guess you used google translate? That's how I read the whole thing

what other leagues/cups give scope for 52% of profit. Does this mean that most profit comes from illiquid markets. sweden, finland etc?

French, German, Argentinian, Brazilian, Colombian, Australian, Czech, Romanian, Bulgarian, Belgian... etc


You can see how it could add up.
