Primary Research QuestionRESULT: LOSS

“Over the last two completed Premier League seasons (2024/25 and 2025/26), does backing the HOME TEAM at Asian Handicap +0 produce a profitable or losing result, and under what Edge / Value Bet / Yield / ROI conditions does AH become statistically attractive?”

Empirical Answer:

Backing Premier League HOME AH +0 across 2024/25 + 2025/26 produced 89 qualifying bets, 30 wins, 27 pushes, 32 losses, -4.37% ROI, -4.37% yield, and -1.22% mean CLV.

Explanation: Unfiltered flat backing of HOME AH +0 is LOSS-MAKING (-4.37% ROI, -1.22% CLV). In temporal holdout testing (2024/25 discovery -> 2025/26 validation), naive top-ranked lines like Away +1.50 and Away +1.00 failed out-of-sample (data-mining decay). Only Away +0.50 and Home +0.25 survived holdout, but are classified as PROMISING BUT UNPROVEN pending larger sample sizes.
