According to
Wiki Answers it is 0.54 for the losing team and 1.63 for the winning team. (doesn't say what league, so must be an overall)
I've just done a bit more research right now and found some relevant statistics about correct scores at
Soccer by the Numbers where they found that the most frequent scores for EPL and Serie A are 1-1 and 1-0 (for the home team) and that for Bundesliga the most common score is 1-1 (12.5%) and home team win 2-1 (9.7%) and home team win 1-0 (8.7%). (Data included 5 seasons.)
So according to the above data, I believe the most common scores are 1-1, 1-0 and 2-1. - Now this makes me think that I should pick my correct scores as 1-1 for games considered a close call (rated between 2.00-3.00 decimal odds), 2-1 for favourites with an average attack, and 1-0 for favourites with a below average attack (although those are usually considered close call games by bookmakers).
I know the odds of predicting 7 correct scores in a row are very low, however I would like to find the best bet to go for it as a general rule considering all the data we have. And would also like to obtain a rough idea of what the odds are for this occurrence.
This is particularly interesting to me because for a 20 penny ticket I can win £500,000 if I am the only winner (if there are more winners, then the pot splits equally among the winners). Also if I correctly predict the outcomes but not the scores, I get about £1 back.
