Can AI really help with sports betting, or are we overrating it?

[leea-1334]

People need to remember,,, AI can only work with information it can find on internet. And teaching it to use correct information is very very very hard,,, its like asking a 5 year old to google search and detect which info is good or bad or outdated.

AI is good with arranging,,, with presenting. But if you need facts and useful information. It either cannot find it or it makes things up.

People don't want to think for themselves and conduct their own analysis. That's why AI has become so popular among casino players. This trend is only gaining momentum. Personally, I'm terrified of this trend.

Are you kidding? AI in casino? What is the advantage over existing strategies? Red or Black? Hit or Stand? You are terrified? I am more terrified of players who post irrelevant information

I think AI is so powerful now that it has the ability to make quite accurate predictions in sports betting. A few days ago, I bet on 3 matches in 3 days. I didn't have much idea about those clubs. Even then, I felt like betting a little, so I knocked on my friend to get a good idea about that team. He directly selected a team for me and asked me to bet on that team. I won that bet. After that, I bet the same way for two consecutive days with the help of my friend. I coincidentally won those 3 matches. Later, I came to know that my friend also didn't know much about those teams. He gave me the predictions with the help of AI. I was really surprised after knowing this.

One thing we need to understand is that AI knows how predictions work, and they know the strength of any club so when you ask AI for assistance in a particular match, they are going to measure the strength of the both teams and then tell you the stronger team that may likely win the match and we all know that the stronger teams usually have the higher chance of winning matches and that is also what we that watch matches usually use also so it is normal for AI to predict a match and it comes out according to their predictions, but it is usually not good to rely on AI for that because they can also predict wrongly, I will always advise everyone to do proper research before predicting a match.

You have given useful advice. Sometimes when I do sports betting, I do my own research and make predictions. At that time, the teams I know were not playing. There were matches of other clubs, so I took the help of my friend. But I was surprised by how accurate the predictions he made through AI were. You are right that AI actually analyzes like us and gives such predictions that which team is stronger and will win. That is probably why the predictions given by AI are correct in most cases.

What won't you do for the potential of winning or winning?

Personally, I still don't even consider this option. I like to do everything myself. Will there be results? I don't know. But AI can't give you any concrete answers either.

I haven't noticed AI being all that popular among casino players. Usually I come across discussions where players talk about AI being irrelevant, about its narrow "expertise," so to speak, about how it cannot analyze or predict game outcomes, and if it does attempt to, it relies on outdated data, which makes its predictions useless. Real players dive much deeper into the context, they stay up to date, they have vast experience testing various strategies, and AI simply cannot compete with them.

[Ryu_Ar1]

Has anyone here tried building something like this, even as a personal project? And do you think AI can create a real edge in sports betting, or is it mostly hype for now?

I have tried several times to reference my experience and observations and I poured in this thread Our analysis determines our fate. but in the end a few weeks of trying to do the scheme according to what AI does everything becomes the same where they also only analyze by data not having their own conclusions even not only one AI I tried but several AIs at once.

As a result, I stopped this and considered myself much more capable than just relying on AI because the results even my own observations were slightly better than what AI did.
So in this case AI will still be very useful as a helper in terms of analysis to determine what we want to decide but in any case including gambling they are not the answer especially if we put our fate in AI it is clearly wrong.

AI uses the past events and the present to predict the future games. Example. Like today game Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid. We all know that Arsenal is a strong team and they have been doing well in Premiere League and even in the Champions League so the developers of AI would predict from the past matches of the two teams and recently played games to predict the next game but if you we are thinking of the AI to tell use more details about the match before predicting. It is not possible. Human prediction is better than the AI because we can look inside before predicting.

I’m quite confused about your comment. What exactly do you mean by human prediction is better because “we can look inside”? As far as I know, people have always used AI tools to analyse sports but you still have to decide what you want to do with the data you have.

It's not even a threat to the gambling industry if it was the bookmakers would've been against it but then they even embraced it to help boost the efficiency of their service. AI doesn't guarantee that if bettors for instance use prediction from it's analysis then they'll win so bettors who use it would still Beeston rely on luck too.
 Sometimes we even get luckier when we make predictions ourselves than rely on the analysis of AI except the bettor doesnt follow up sports activities too often to be informed about certain things that could help him with his prediction, I think AI is more beneficial to casino's than gamblers.

This doesn't quite sound like a joke. Benefits? That's rather dubious. There's currently no empirical evidence to support this. Therefore, it's better not to trust AI results and rely on them. People want to do nothing and make easy money. This desire has lasted for millennia. New technology has captured the imagination so deeply that some people can no longer imagine their own existence. Their very lives may even depend on it.

I prefer using my own thinking and analysis to predict betting games than using AI. Only own thinking AI is not giving a sure prediction but it is a probability prediction like man. If I predict a bet, I have to look inside like the lineup of players, location of the Matche, home or away. But AI would not look into al those information but go ahead with the information given to it by the creator.

[Leahized]

In sports, there are various types of momentum such as injuries, fouls, cards, etc., which are impossible to know in advance, but if two or more events win is a coincidence, then that is a different matter. So in my opinion, human prediction or human research is more effective in sports betting than AI. So trying to create a real edge with AI in sports betting can be a hype because the information given to AI is given by humans and after analyzing that information, AI gives an answer or prediction which is sometimes correct and sometimes not.

Yes you are absolutely right AI can't always provide truth or accurate information on everything. I can generally trust AI for various information but not for future predictions. In the case of sports betting, it is not possible to observe correctly by humans, in that case, how much will the role of AI work? In my opinion AI should be used location wise. But many gamblers bet and win through AI prediction. I think it's a coincidence and it's good to use own knowledge in sports.

[Lida93]

Never tried using AI for sports betting since doing personal analysis has always worked better. But AI could actually be helpful for things like checking player stats, looking at past match results/H2H, and following the latest updates about a sport team. When trying to guess which team wins or loses, relying too much on AI can be a mistake because no AI can tell for sure how a match will end.

People really don't know what to use AI for as they assume it could do quite a lot of things which humans do not easily seem to be able to do. AI for aiding and not that it's some super machine that can know the future or something like it's being thought of in sport betting outcome. Obviously, we can use AI to get all these factors you given such as players stats and club's H2H form of teams but not really telling definite what outcome will be.

No, I have not used it, and I don't intend to. I analyze my picks myself, and sometimes, I do lose, and I'm cool with it. I don't see any difference AI can make in sporting betting. Just as some of our predictions fail to come through, that's how AI's predictions will be. It's best I stick to my gut instead.

I agree with you, gambling by relying on your own research, no matter what the result is, you get complete satisfaction, because in gambling we have to depend on luck to win, so your own research is good in every way. But most gamblers gamble with the hope of making quick money, their main goal is to win by any means, so they rely on AI to make money by gambling, but as a result, they cannot achieve success and they suffer financially. It is wise to give the most importance to your own research for gambling. AI can never give the right information to win in gambling.

AI can never give a gambler an accurate prediction no matter how deep you go. Honestly, I have never thought of using AI for sports betting because I know that gambling depends on luck. Sometimes many gamblers make things difficult for themselves because there is nothing else that can change the game.

So it's better to stick with your own prediction and not relying on anything else, since luck has the final say.

[Pumpsta]

Ask AI to analyze some info for you or stuff like that but take it all with a grain of salt.. best thing to do is analyzing things yourself.. if AI predicted the future well everyone used it already by now.. to win the lottery and shit like that.. but it's trained on human data which isn't perfect, it'll always make errors

The only difference AI is capable of making in gambling is completely eliminating emotions (since they of course don't have any) and come up with the most logical predictions and analysis. And this would only be quite helpful if logic was what really determines victory in gambling, but like we already know, that's way far from being true, which means that it makes little to know difference from just using your own predictions because in the long run, what really determines whether a game is won or lost is luck and not logic.

If ai can help you win in sports betting, don't you think we would have closed down so many bookies and the ones that are left would be on their way down. Ai can help you do your analysis, the same way you can do it without using ai, it does not increase your chances of winning. If you are lucky, you win; if you are not, the bookies take your money.

Your point makes too much sense to me most especially the fact that if AI can predict games fit bettors the book makers would not be existing in the industry any longer because they would have gone dry and they won’t possibly be making profit, but then to me I don’t think AI actually helps anyone predict games for bettors, yes it has the ability to give better analysis and avoid some kind of emotional decision but it cannot tell you how a particular game will end cause betting itself is unpredictable.

Indeed, that would be true, but only bookmakers understand better than others how to use AI, and at the moment, I'm almost certain that AI won't be able to significantly help beat bookmakers. Firstly, because they set and adjust odds so that they don't lose money, and they do so with a margin. Secondly, even if AI relies on past statistics, the game we bet on will still contain a lot of randomness that is practically impossible to account for.

[justdimin]

Clearly overrated. People think that just because they use AI, they'll win their bets. Guess what? You won't be able to beat the AI the house uses, which also sets the payout it will give you while ensuring a profit margin for itself. There are plenty of ways to use AI to help you make money, but I doubt it can do the same for sports betting.

Well considering you are a free market capitalist . I think that is exactly how capitalism works, someone who thinks that they can use the highest edge tech to overcome math itself and fail, that way market makes sure that the money goes to the one who deserve it.

We have two people in our hands, one of them worked hard for sure but then think that house edge means nothing and they can end up betting with AI and end up winning which is mathematically not possible on the long term, the other one was smarter and saved enough to have investment to build the house itself, instead of playing against it, and then ended up running a business that made money from people who thought like the first person and got rich. I would say the system worked exactly as intended.

[freedomgo]

We're overestimating it. There's no doubt it has a good database. It's a pretty handy tool that can, for example, create a selection of recent matches with the parameters you're interested in. Instead of searching manually, which takes much more time, it does everything in a couple of clicks.Don't think this is a good solution that will help a player get rich or find a loophole the answer is definitely no.

It can actually increase the chances of winning because it can provide you data-driven, analytical edges but it will never guarantee you winning from sports betting. Winning still greatly relies on your own luck and skills you apply when you place a bet, and not because AI will secure your spot in winning your bet.

However, if we can both combine luck, skills and AI usage, I think there is higher chances that we will hit the target. AI is still a helpful tool, but AI alone can never be sufficient enough.
