End of All Things Football Online

 Hi All 


I haven't updated this site properly for many years now - as with all things, this was an incredibly useful format to get my ideas and thoughts out into the wild for a number of years - primarily while I was trying to get a job working full time in football.

As this happened in 2014 the articles have dwindled to nothing and it's now time to officially mothball the channel

I've removed some of the links to articles that are no longer relevant - generally people in the same boat as me who have since moved on - but I will leave the articles up for posterity. Please note that football analytics has moved on incredibly quickly in a short space of time so much of what was written would probably be quite out of date by todays standards. That doesn't mean they weren't relevant at the time so worth leaving them up

Thanks for all who read or shared an article I ever wrote!

Research Analyst (Italian Serie A)

QuantBet Ltd are looking for anybody with a passion about Italian Football to join our team.

We are looking for those people with an outstanding knowledge of teams, players and tactics and are looking to join an already talented team in an ambitious company.

The Role

QuantBet Ltd are one of the brightest up and coming companies in Sports Betting, focusing on cutting edge analysis, research & trading.

We are recruiting for the position of Research Analyst covering the Italian Serie A to join our team and provide expected line ups and advance knowledge of games from this competition. This is a paid role.

The role will involve producing Previews of every game played in the Italian Serie A to our set template, including but not limited to expected line ups, injury & suspension data, tactical set up and likely approach. You will use our bespoke web based platform to do this, on which full training will be given.

The role has flexible hours, though availability to provide previews 3 days before each game and an update 1 day before each game is mandatory. This job can be combined with other roles and is likely to take around 15 hours per week.

The role is home based, all you need is a strong understanding of Football and a fast and reliable Internet connection - videos of all games will be provided for you along with access to our data collection platform. Being able to Speak/read Italian is highly desirable, as we want the most in depth knowledge possible, often only gained if you are fluent in this language.

About You

We are looking for those people with a keen eye for detail and accuracy. The data collected is integral to how we work and so needs to be done to the highest level possible. Being able to concentrate and work autonomously is key.

We want somebody who is extremely knowledgeable about Italian football - do your friends often ask your opinion when a Italian player joins their team? Are you somebody who has an in depth knowledge of how Sassuolo play? Are you the one who can recite the starting XI of Bologna? Then you are the kind of person we want to hear from!

The role has the potential to make it whatever you want, with opportunities for progression into other roles and tasks within the company possible in future.

While we don’t ask for any specific educational background and welcome applications from those of all ages there are a few things we require: -

·      Being able to clearly speak and write in English
·      Good grasp of spoken Italian, or as a minimum being able to read Italian
·      Accuracy is fundamental, whether in your research or spelling & grammar - you should be proficient in use of computers and IT.
·      Highly motivated and enthusiastic - we want you to take pride in your work
·      Knowledge of betting markets is desirable (particularly Asian Handicaps & Total Goals Lines) but training will be given and this is not essential.


The role is open to anybody worldwide - as it is home based there are no restrictions. You will be a contractor of QuantBet and NOT an employee. Payment is set at the going market rate and paid per game.

If you are interested in the role please complete the questions in the link to the Survey below by the end of Sunday 23rdJune 2019

At that point details will be provided for the next stage of the recruitment process.
