Topic: Will you depend on game predictions by supercomputers? - page 7. (Read 1329 times)

So true, I think super computers predictions are relying in past statistics of the players and teams but the thing is sports is sports, we never know what will happen during the games, natural events or how will the flow of the game, technically so many factors may add up to the result, so I dont think solely relying in super computers predictions is a thing, maybe just a reference but betting based on that is like putting your chances of winning in disadvantage, anyway sports betting is a 50/50 chances of winning and losing so even without the use of predictions you can either win or lose and if you are a fan of the certain sports then predicting the winning team is much more easier. But its up to you if you will believe in predictions that came from supercomputer because its your own money, just saying that it could be dangerous.

Will you depend on game predictions by supercomputers? If a quantum computer that can hack the hash game I do believe that hahaha

but yeah we live today with a bunch of artificial intelligence it is everywhere today and as far as I know machine learning and AI use past data to make predictions in the future just like the trading but I believe the winrate is around 60-70% because the real world event cant be accurately predict in my opinion.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict game outcomes by analyzing player performance, team statistics, and external variables. AI algorithms can identify probabilities for future events like match outcomes, goal scorers, cards issued, and assists. AI-powered predictions have an accuracy rate of around 87%, compared to 60-65% for human experts according to https://deepgram.com/ai-apps/ai-sports-prediction

Reliable in the sense that it probably took into consideration their comprehensive past performances as far as numbers are concerned. But not reliable in the sense that plays, games, performances of players are not the same all the time. Errors can't be predicted. Great timings can't be predicted.

There are so many factors that computers cannot take into consideration. They can only analyze based on what's fed to them. In this sense, their predictions are not very different from the odds released by bookmakers. And I don't really make bets depending on others' predictions.

I think we should accumulate statistics of successful match predictions by supercomputers. Statistics are the best and most visible form of certainty. However, I do not believe that supercomputers will be able to predict match results with 100% accuracy. The fact is that the outcome of many matches depends on chance. For example, if two teams of equal strength are playing, then the victory of one of them can often be the result of such a chance that no supercomputer can predict. Again, let's not forget that there are fixed matches that may not end as the supercomputer predicted.

The predictions mean nothing unless we get to see the odds offered by the casinos and we can compare them, remember becoming a successful sport bettor not only depends on your ability to predict which outcome is the most likely, the odds at which you take your bet are critical and taking poor odds will produce poor results as well.

At the same time, casinos are not going to remain idle, if an AI could beat them, they will change the games, use their own AI, forbid the use of AI for their customers or do all of the points I mentioned previously, nullifying the effect of AI on their business.

These predictions are like a trap IMO, so you're better off relying on your predictions. If you plan to rely on these predictions because you don't follow the sport as much, always take them with a grain of salt.

They could have the same expectations as the odds provider, but it's still not good enough where you should put your money on it. It's the same reason for those who take the risk on underdogs and after a few matches their odds get adjusted until they become one of the few favorites to win the league.

I think it could be reliable in some extent. If it predict a match and the matches frequently plays accordingly, it could be Siad that it is reliable even if it's not %100 but it suggestion may play a unique role compeard to human. Since human are not %100 in accuracy I also believe that AI can as well not be %100 ok. But if the prediction seams to repeat itself frequently then there is a high chance to believe gambling prediction by supercomputer.

Forecasts require a lot of data and need to consider many variables. Normally bringing this all together will generate a very high cost as you need to have it in a form that your "AI" understands. So I look at these "super computers" with great caution because the work is too big for little to be returned. Therefore, this type of business ends up not being as profitable.

As much as I believe that AI will be a really good technology that would help progress humanity as a species, I don't think we're at a level that AI will accurately predict what could happen and have a spot on analysis, I mean people have that goal in mind for a really long time with AI because if you can accurately or semi-accurately predict any outcome that you ask the AI to predict, you've basically got an ubiquitous technology in your hands that can help you in any aspects that you want some help of like gambling but I think that with it, we're not using AI prediction to its fullest potential, imagine being able to simulate a war scenario when you're at a war against a country, you can easily adjust your strategy depending on the results, you can probably even use AI for space travel, imagine launching a space exploration that's got an AI to do accurate reports on what's happening during their travel, the information we're going to get is going to phenomenal. 

But if we really just want to focus on gambling predictions, right now it's probably going to do well with blackjack and other games that have a fixed odds because you can do card counting using AI and they'd be able to give you results that can help with your decisions but if we're talking about sportsbetting, it's probably not yet that flawless to accurately predict who will score a goal at what minute of the game or how many points would Lebron be able to get in a particular game.

Well if these predictions at some point were to have 100% accuracy, I'd pretty much completely stop gambling in sports. Sadly I still think it's pretty impossible to get a 100% accuracy since to err is human, and these are humans playing on the field. If human strategies were limited to what was already made in the past, we'd be watching a pretty damn boring sports match but that's not how the world works.

Not to mention I still believe these predictions are simply numbers crunched up to the absolute limit based on the currently available metrics. Sure, they might have some sort of algorithm that ranks which data has more emphasis than the others but it still doesn't change the fact that they're simply numbers which equates to predictions just like how humans do it. Granted they can showcase more data and reference to more, but it doesn't necessarily mean that more data = more accuracy in some cases.

I might consider a supercomputer's predictions, but there's something about the unpredictability of games that makes them exciting. Besides, adding a bit of human intuition to the mix has never hurt. Let’s just say, I’d take the advice but sprinkle a little of my own magic on top!

I do most of my gambling on sport betting. And with my experience, I will say it's better you make predictions yourself than using AI. Supercomputers can just be a supportive guide. Although no one can predict 100% outcome of a match but in most cases supercomputers are less accurate. There are some important things that they don't sometimes consider in their predictions. Like injured players, where the match is to be played( I e either home or away), etc. And this often affect the outcome of matches.

Call it a supercomputer, or call it artificial intelligence, or call it a ghost, no one is guaranteed to be right when it comes to gambling predictions. Super computer or artificial intelligence is complete software past a programming where personal programming is installed through which you can take the help of predictions but it is nothing but foolishness to think that these predictions will be 100% true.
Let's say a sportsbetting match between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest and the super computer asks you to bet on Nottingham Forest. If you consider the order of strength between the two teams then 100% prediction will be in favor of Manchester City. In this case, no matter what you call computer or artificial intelligence, there is no argument for the prediction to be true in this case. I am currently unable to support the prediction of supercomputers or artificial intelligence in any way.

Yes they do accurate  on some fields since information's available online can easily detected by those AI and they can easily show up the result of each task that we want them to do so its not surprising if they can able to pass certain exams since right now.

But for sports which result is not determine by anyone and result is random. Maybe the suggestion sent by AI is not accurate although maybe they are basing on teams statistics and show us which of those team have great chance to win but its good for us to think or see the real situation if there's something basis given by AI since we are still unsure about the suggestion given by this technology since the game still about to start and played by real people.

Predictions are also just guesses and there is no change if it comes from a supercomputer or AI or quantum computer or any advanced technology.

Because just as we, we don't know what the future holds. And with these type of computers, they're also giving a guess just how we're guessing on how a match can end.

That's why if you're lazy to make predictions then you can consider them if you find one but for me, there's really no difference at all if it's about predictions made by human or them.

The advancements in AI and supercomputing are indeed transforming many sectors, including gambling and sports betting. These technologies can analyze vast amounts of data much faster and more accurately than humans, which in theory should make their predictions quite reliable. However, the unpredictable nature of sports, influenced by countless variables including player form, injuries, weather, and even sheer luck, means there's always an element of uncertainty that no computer can fully eliminate.

While the predictions made by a supercomputer like Opta are based on rigorous analysis and can offer valuable insights, they shouldn't be seen as guarantees.
They do, however, add an exciting layer of data driven speculation that can make betting more informed and potentially more profitable.
But as with any form of gambling, it's important to approach these predictions with caution and use them as one of many tools in making decisions, rather than the sole basis. In the end, the unpredictability of sports is what makes them so thrilling!

Remember that we’re dealing with sports that can be affected by a number of factors - and me relying on a supercomputer or as other called it AI is really a nice idea. It is quite obvious that the prediction made above can turn out to be wrong (we just have to wait and see).

I still believe it’s still too early to decide whether I’ll go for it or not, but currently I’m against it - there have been quite of number of things that we claimed we won’t do but later hopped in after discovering some hidden information and I believe same could apply to this supercomputer prediction.

This is interesting, if you don't mind, will you be able to make updates regarding the supercomputer's predictions? It would be interesting to see what their win/loss percentage would be in the long run.

anyway, at the moment, I don't plan trusting a supercomputer to make a decision for me when I am betting in sports. There is a sense of accomplishment when your prediction came true that you wouldn't get from relying to a supercomputer.

I will have to state it categorically that the same way humans predict matches that how AI does, less we forget that AI are coded to perform the commands of humans, the head to head statistics of teams are coded in it for it to give it's predictions, if AI predictions comes as expected then we should know that it is meant to be like that but on know account we should attribute it to accuracy because as far as a football match is concerned, no one knows the outcome of any match.
In the aspect of combining many predictors data and use the one that is likely possible to come as their prediction tips as you said, anyway it is an assumption, AI works with previous and current form of a team for it predictions and it is normal but accuracy will not be guaranteed because it is a mere predicting bots that's built by human being to perform different function with command. 

I will not depend on game predictions by supercomputers because predicting the outcome of sports events involves numerous variables, many of which can be unpredictable or subject to change. Factors such as player injuries, team dynamics, weather conditions, and unexpected game events can significantly influence the outcome, often in ways that even the most advanced algorithms may struggle to anticipate accurately.

Supercomputers can analyze vast amounts of data and identify patterns that humans might overlook but there are inherent limitations to their predictive capabilities. The future of sports events remains inherently uncertain, and no prediction model can guarantee complete accuracy, so I think these predictions are not reliable.

While the predictions offered by supercomputers may provide valuable insights and serve as a reference point for decision-making, I think supplementing them with other forms of analysis and intuition is still needed. For me, the element of thrill would disappear if it became predictable and if it was eliminated by any technological advancement.
