How It Works

Our system begins by gathering comprehensive data from numerous sources, including:

• Historical game results and statistics
• Team performance metrics and advanced analytics
• Player statistics and injury reports
• Venue information and weather data
• Betting market odds from multiple sportsbooks

We constantly update our database in real-time to ensure our predictions account for the latest information, including last-minute lineup changes, weather conditions, and market movements.

We utilize advanced machine learning algorithms to identify patterns and relationships in historical data:

• Supervised learning models trained on years of historical game data
• Sport-specific statistical models tailored to each league's unique characteristics
• Feature engineering to identify the most relevant predictive factors
• Periodic retraining to incorporate new data and improve accuracy

Our models are designed to account for the specific dynamics of each sport. For example, we use Poisson models for low-scoring sports like hockey and baseball, while employing more complex models for high-scoring sports like basketball.

For each game, we run thousands of Monte Carlo simulations to generate a probability distribution of possible outcomes:

• 10,000+ game simulations for each matchup
• Quarter-by-quarter and inning-by-inning simulations where applicable
• Accounting for team strength, matchup history, home-field advantage, and other factors
• Modeling of random events and game-flow dynamics

Rather than providing a single prediction, our Monte Carlo approach generates a full range of possible outcomes, allowing us to calculate win probabilities, likely score distributions, and the probability of different betting outcomes (spreads, totals, etc.).

We compare our model's probabilities to the betting market's implied probabilities to find potential value:

• Converting market odds to implied probabilities
• Calculating the difference between our model's probability and the market probability
• Identifying statistically significant edges while filtering out noise
• Calculating expected value (EV) for potential bets

When our model identifies a significant edge compared to the market odds, we highlight these as "Value Picks." This doesn't guarantee a win on any single bet, but over time, betting with positive expected value tends to be profitable.

Our system is constantly learning and improving:

• Tracking prediction accuracy against actual outcomes
• Comparing model performance against betting market accuracy
• Refining our algorithms based on new data and observed patterns
• Adjusting for changes in league rules, team compositions, and other factors

We maintain transparency about our model's performance, tracking metrics like accuracy rate, ROI (Return on Investment), and closing line value to help users evaluate the quality of our predictions.
