Topic: Sports Betting and AI predictions - page 2. (Read 575 times)

I very much doubt the creation of such an AI. Because I understand perfectly well how difficult and unreliable it is. Well, betting works on the basis of probability theory. Even AI can't fool math. All these fantasies of miracles have always been there. Previously, oracles were turned to for prediction, now there will be AI instead of wizards...

Just a thought, but how would AI predict if a draw happens between two teams in said league?
No matter what system is used no one not even AI can predict if an injury happens late in a match and a penalty would occur in the last minute of a match.
Just watching how now AI are asked to create new memecoins and actually are promoting them on X all by itself without any human interaction. And it has been successful in some instances.

As for me, I only use the prediction sites for my analyses. The prediction site will let me know the matches that I should bet on, then I will go to make further analyses, most especially the players that will play, how often the club are scoring and some other information. I do all manually without the need of any AI. Also the only prediction sites that I am using only use the last five matches the club to choose played to make its conclusion.

In fact, it is a reality that AI is capable of providing insights which are far beyond human capacity in analyzing massive data sets. So, over time, the predictions become more accurate but at similar speeds with which AI processes statistics and models. However, sports are also susceptible to things like emotions, injuries, as well as unpredictable weather which cannot be mathematically quantified.

With AI-enhanced betting, casinos will certainly have their problems, but I think that, however good the AI is, sports will always be a little unpredictable. That's just part of the thrill! Regulations will probably also factor into the incorporation of AI in betting systems. I look forward to seeing how it goes from here.


What a great idea! AI is incredibly efficient at analyzing large amounts of data quickly. But in the end It still works with some probability. It is not a warranty. as you said It is no different from human analysis. Based on experience, evaluation, and past work This is where humans cannot track events in real time, such as last-minute injuries. Changing weather conditions or even team opinions on match day

AI can increase a player's confidence by providing more insights. But sports are unpredictable, and that holds risks always. For example, I thought what made the fun of betting was the uncertainty on whether how great the AI ​​is. Do you have to guarantee everything? Will be betting as much fun as it used to be when everything is guaranteed?


AI is really, really powerful. More so in analyzing large sets of historical data and producing insights. But when it comes down to sports betting, so many unpredictable situations cannot be captured by AI. Athletic performances are dictated by so many different things: injuries; shifts in the teams' performance, the weather, even sometimes an athlete's emotional state. Things that historical data can't always predict. It gives you an upper hand in maths. However, is it funny how sports would be a whole different ball game, if you will, because far more fluid than the numbers in any book? AI may predict the better winning percentage by your team under similar circumstances, but things like a sudden red card cannot be factored into it. Shock injury to a star player or even some strategic changes by the coach that could change the dynamic of the game.

Of course, with all these, I feel that AI is still a good tool for a bettor if applied properly. It can give a base for analysis. It draws conclusions from the data that can inform your decisions. However, relying solely on AI is a misconception of sorts. Properly successful bettors have put to use a mixture of all tools, whether it be AI, personal research, and predictions. The AI can pick the stronger options based on analysis. But don't forget the practical conditions that may alter the outcome in ways AI systems cannot predict.

For example, if the AI ​​gives a particular team a more impressive win rate based on their past performance. Critical thinking about the present is important. Do some new players join? Are key players tired? Were there any recent changes in technologies? Sometimes, a better understanding of human memory and physiology can fill the gaps where AI can make predictions. So, I think the better way is to see AI predictions as a huge mystery. Use it to guide your thinking.

Combining investigation and free betting sites is also the means I used to predict games. I have never considered using AI tools, but it might be possible that these prediction sites use them for analysis.

AI can only analyse and predict games based on statistics or history. Statistics could be helpful in sports betting but they are not accurate or certain. Sometimes, some low-rated teams will just win a big club; meanwhile, based on the data collected by AI, it will not make such predictions. Who would have expected that Parma will win AC Milan this season, I am sure no AI would have predicted it.

This is true. AI can only gives the percentage of the prediction but AI will not know if that can happens or not. AI calculates and analyze everything from the past and what happens to that team so AI can tells us which team that have bigger percentage to win. We can not just rely on that AI but we should trying to analyze by ourselves and we can use the data from AI to help our analysis. By looking about their history, we will have more knowledge about the teams so we can analyzes more to finds if we can place our bet to that team or we needs to skip the match or even place a bet to the opponent.

I don't know where the treat of AI will make any difference in sports betting because AI is just a computer that works with past and present record to predict the future. As long as it is prediction, it will not give answer different from what humans are already doing because prediction has not atom of certainty with it as reality may not be like what was predicted. It could give more detailed analysis of matches which can increase the confidence of the gambler but such predictions should always be taken with caution knowing that nothing is sure.

Ah they definitely have to have a department looking at the latest innovations from the AI community,
Casinos are not going to let something like AI predictions create an "unfair" advantage to gamblers.

ATM I dont think I would rely or even engage with AI in relation to making predictions on sport. The
reason is because of the "human" element of sport. AI cannot predict human emotions or injuries.

Ok it can compile all historical data between two teams and scan for recent news etc. and spit out
a prediction quicker than we as humans can which is all great but it cannot predict the "ah I didnt
see that happening" moments.

I also think that bookmakers are aware of all the latest innovations from artificial intelligence. They probably have a department that monitors and studies the risks associated with the development of AI. However, they will be ready for this earlier than others and those players who will use AI to try to beat the bookmaker will simply continue to pay him. Of course, a player can win several matches in a row, but then if he continues to bet, this money will go back into the bookmaker's pocket. They are not as excited about such rapid development of technology as it may seem to ordinary players.

Assuming that the capability of AI to predict accurate result is high then I think his assumption is correct no matter what will be the adjustment on the odds since no one will choose the other side to make the casino profitable on the house edge or player loss since everyone will follow the AI prediction.

However, there’s always a big BUT since there’s no way an AI can predict accurately on any sports match since game statistics is the only reference of an AI for prediction while actual game has different wild card element that affect the game.

Nevertheless, You’re right in the end that casino will never be bankrupt because they can think a way to solve AI issue if this is already a threat to casino because they have the right to adjust everything in the casino rules.

AI predictions for sports bettors will not guarantee them a hundred percent winning because these AI were programmed by humans and humans are not perfect. These predictions they do are just based on past data that were gathered.

I have seen an instance were Robots was introduced into crypto trading and people were having profits for some moments and started having great loss. Same thing will be applicable when people start using AI predictions.

Above all, it is human beings that are the athlete and they might not really play to your expectations and their full potentials. Making my predictions myself seems the best cause it will make you to brain storm and interact with friends about the odds on the next game. You will be very happy with yourself if you win the game too.

This made me laugh, no offense @OP, but I do like the enthusiasm.

Casinos already know what AI is capable of, and when it comes to sports betting, they won’t be worried about that because odds and lines aren’t fixed. They adjust them as they see fit to guarantee profit. Some people claim they can beat the bookie, which is kinda funny because that’s never going to happen. Have we ever seen a bookie go bankrupt? Maybe a few, but not because they lost money to sharp bettors. It’s usually because they couldn’t afford to keep advertising and didn’t attract enough gamblers.

Has there been such an excellent predicting AI as that or we are having this as a discussion of technology possible to happen in the future?

I know some AI predicting gambling programs which are only techniques of influencing bettors ties them up just to subscribe to their channels falsely that they give accurate predictions.

I know programmers are always unrest in discovery such perfect AI tool to riddle the casinos with an accurate predictions but I don't think the casinos would fold its hands after being aware of these threats
So there is possibilities that the program domains of the casinos can always be updated on regular basis that would make it impossible for an anti programmer to break into their private site  possibly using the AI to read their games provider so accurately like that.
Though I believe as everything is not possible, so also everything could be possible.

Predicting the future is not easy at all. No matter how well you train the AI model, it will only give future results based on the past data. But in the case of sports events, the past data doesn’t matter at all. As currently players might have trained better, the stadium might have been modified, and also the playing conditions might be different. These all factors will affect the overall playing style. Hence, the result might be a different one. So I won’t suggest anyone to use the AI models and risk their hard-earned money.

I agree in this point, the accuracy will not be 100%, but if we place 10 bets and only 2 lose, the we will end with profit, and that's the way to use AI for predictions, to place multiple bets and win most of them.

For sure there are some AI that already do this, and they should offer the probability to win that bet, so, is betting with information and ods in our side, and maybe casinos will take this as a way of cheating.

Hmmm AI focuses on sports betting....? This is very curious.

I know AI will definitely continue to be developed and improve in technology but I'm not sure this will be the reference where users can easily use AI with a sharp level of accuracy... Sports are still difficult to predict so it will be difficult for them with accuracy.

Yes although some users use AI for betting but I'm not sure this will increase their chances in sports betting.

Why I say that is because until now most people bet not using AI.
As for the future we never know...

The thing is that people just have the whole hype and taught about AI being so magical and powerful to be able to bring a change to the gambling industry where as the truth is AI technology itself draws its information and conclusion from the data present in those games which every human like me and you can evaluate and also predict out positive results. Well like you said there are so many things that can influence a match as an emergency injury can also change the outcome of the end result of that game where as AI is no magician to know that.

I don’t think casinos owner will be in any form of trouble if an AI like this should be released because there are so many things that can determine the outcome of a match and I’m sure that there are no AI that can predict or tell what will happen in the future or what incident will take place that will change the whole game.

Some people will definitely be able to utilize it and make the best out of it while some won’t be able to make a dim from the prediction that they are going to get - so it won’t really bother the casino owners as they’ll still be able to make their bucks off of those that are not lucky enough.

AI might generate some winning results but AI doesn't play the game and it cannot predict what will or won't happen in the game. Cannot predict injuries, cannot predict missed kick or passes, cannot predict if a player is tossed out, just cannot predict everything. It analyzes data and gives an educated prediction IMO, but you as a person can do the same so I don't feel like AI is too much of an advantage and isn't an issue for bookies.

We will definitely see AI usage in the betting industry, but the accuracy of all predictions will literally be the centre of focus. If an AI is to make analysis, we should expect that the AI will have to make use of all available information or current data about any teams in action. Some of the data might range from team form, players fitness, who is playing at home, and others, which is literally not different from what we the humans use in making our own predictions, and it's hasn't made us 100% efficient (correct) when it comes to making predictions, so I don't see AI as anything different.

I don't really know how AI will fit into the system, but I believe it will definitely be introduced and used by those who chooses to. But like I said, it's accuracy matters, and we all know that in sports (especially football), unimaginable things happens. Even teams that are in form suffer sometimes, which I feel will definitely not work well with what AI might want to offer.

And as for casinos, I don't really know how well it will work or which area it might be applicable. Casino is kind of broad with different games, which is unlike other betting companies where most of their services is based on predictions.
