Doctoral Student Sven Januszek wins 3rd place at the EURO 2020 ETH betting game
Out of more than 1.000 participants, Sven has made it to the top three thanks to a simple but effective strategy
As researcher in the field of lean management, Sven values knowledge sharing and is therefore more than happy to share the ideas behind his betting strategy: “In more than three years of my doctoral studies, I learned the power of statistics. Therefore, I did some research and found that 1-0 is the most frequent soccer score, not only on club level but also in the latest national team championships. With some inspiration from bookmakers’ betting odds to find the more likely winner of each match, this turned out to be a very simple but effective betting strategy, despite a relatively low number of 1-0 scores this year.”
Congratulations to Sven who won the 3rd place under the nickname PolskaGora (“Poland Up”). We already look forward to the next betting game in 2022 and remain curious how Sven will continue to improve this betting strategy in the spirit of lean management!
