Liking to have a ‘flutter’ and making it work for you financially, is all a matter of knowing your strengths and weaknesses. There are many sports I wouldn’t touch with a bargepole betting wise as I’m just not drawn to them. The knock on effect of that is that it’s hard to dedicate enough time and consideration to them to make it pay. However, that hasn’t ever been the case with horse racing. I’ve been betting on racing for as long as I’ve been able and have analysed form, yards, trainers, jockeys you name it to the nth degree, to give me an edge and help me recognise a value bet when I see it.
Where AI steps in though, is that it easily and instantly collects and analyses everything it can like a sponge, and is happy to also consider anything else plugged into it (questions, further data etc). This streamlines the racing predictions process no end and so can be a real time saver. It’s also possible to use AI to find new angles that you may not have even considered before, and build more and more on existing foundations of knowledge. It can essentially be used to cross reference and validate thoughts you’ve had and conclusions you’ve reached. A valuable tool in the right hands.
On the flipside, AI in the world of sports can also even be a game changer for those new to the world of sport betting. All of the aforementioned happens algorithmically behind the scenes, so AI predictions for today’s races, tomorrows and the big races (think Royal Ascot, Grand National, Cheltenham Festival) can be displayed front and centre with easy to understand stats placed front and centre, along with win rates , value bets, jockey stats and more. Algorithmically analysing form to put you in the best position possible to place that winning bet.
It’s not just racing either. As I say, I’m very much a layperson with other sports, but essentially with AI football tips, that doesn’t even matter. The analysing, the number crunching, the consideration of endless variables all happens out or sight and inthe moment, and the result is as assessment of what that means in terms of placing your bet. Goals and performance analysis, win rate, player info, it all factors in at the press of a button.
The future is clearly AI and as such, it’s either a technology you use and embrace, or one that ends up with you getting left behind through not realising the value of it. Personally I’d say that the first option makes far more sense!
