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

[Achalugo BTC]

No matter how much this AI is perfect, it cannot go beyond an algorithm. But in the case of sports, it is not possible to follow any algorithm. That is why there is no logic in placing bets depending on AI and AI does not know about the situation of the live match, even if you ask him about this, it will not be possible to give you the correct results. AI can give good results for analysis, but it should not be relied on only for placing bets. If someone thinks that he is achieving comparatively good results by relying on AI, then that is completely his own matter. No one should disrespect everyone's beliefs in gambling.

Even AI will have to depend on luck for their results because what they give its only its guess and not the right thing and whoever that decides to obey or take their result to heart, they are at their own risks and they got to approach it with the mindset that anything can happen either win or lose and accepting that its important, that is why its should be based on your guts and chase after gambling as an entertainment and not for paycheck purposes.

Maybe not as detailed as what you do, but I have tried using AI to help me provide an overview of upcoming matches, and actually the data provided was quite complete and detailed but I trusted what I believed more, so I ignored that data and the result was bad.
I don't want to try it again even though My friend said that he could be helped by AI when the commands given were very detailed, so the keys how we use AI before choose the bets.

One thing that people also forget to understand is that, what might for them, might not work for you and ignoring this fact to believe that it will work as it have worked for your friend might end your fun and can lead you to more losses, and this can make you to think to recover your losses and it can cause you to become addicted and that is why AI or any other thoughts won't help you in gambling but luck and chance is the depth of it.

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.

I don't even know why some people thinks that AI has the ability to give more successful prediction than human, meanwhile those old time experienced bettors can still do the same prediction and possibly arrive at the same result the AI produced and most of the times too, the AI prediction could be wrong while the human prediction can be accurate. So, what you are saying is actually the truth.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Believe me. Sometimes it looks reliable. Regular gamblers are for sure to be trying Ai, at least for analytics. As for predictions, as much as analytics work, predictions should be working as well.

Casinos integrate AI in their systems without it being something problematic, just they are closed source. When users starts using AI, it is the interesting subject for public discussions.

Yes, it's often seen as a tool with many advantages for the player. It can show us rankings and many other things, as well as calculations that are so necessary. However, these numbers can help us in our analysis, but we have to see that the things that matter most are what you're seeing right now: the number of players who are doing well and those who aren't. It's undoubtedly a powerful tool.

It is a powerful tool for both parts, the casino and the user. If the casino will find the AI tools useful without breaking the rules, it is good to go. And when it is not, then he will just ignore it and move on. But with casino, the situation is a little bit different, because when they will find that the AI might not work that well in their favor, they won't delist observed games that can be subject for AI use, instead they will add more pressures to players with the TOS. The AI in this case will change from a great tool for improvement of the sector to a tool of pressure just to stick with the old model. Yes this can happen.

What works for others might not work for you, and even if you know that statement, some feel like it's only applicable when you try to use the same pattern and try to copy and share everything the next person is using, like betting on the same game and option, but it's not always that easy. Even if AI is being used to predict some of the results, most times they will inform you those predictions do not come with 100% accuracy, but some stubborn gamblers will still play dumb to that warning.

I've never experimented with AI for sports predictions, but for me, things shouldn't go that way. Yes, I know that AI can provide more accurate statistics, but it doesn't all depend on that. It depends on the analysis and all the knowledge we might have, and on the intuition that ultimately becomes a great analysis. That's why I don't use AI for these things; they're not reliable.

AI cannot give anyone accurate predictions but it can go a long way in giving predictions that can increase chances of winning but a lot of times these stats are not really correct, the problem with a lot of people is that they think that whatever result they get from Ai is accurate and it cannot make mistakes but they are totally wrong.

I myself have never done it, even asking for information about a match that can be used as a consideration for bets made I have never done it, moreover I bet on my favorite team only or big matches, very rarely with other matches.
 
And I admit Ai is smart because he can provide any information, but in gambling this involves luck so Ai will not fully help.

Is anyone here actually building or testing anything serious around AI and sports betting?
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?

There is limit to what AI can do, so we should first "write that at the back of our minds."

AI can help in sports betting, and as a matter of fact, it is working, but it's not the way many think of it, it should do that only as an assistant, and not as a weapon. AI is not a magician, by virtue, it will not change the outcome of a bet, feat/fate does. What AI does is to help you with the vital data/information faster than you can. What could take you hours to fetch, AI could help you fetch them in minutes. That's all. Believing they will do the job like some real gambling machine (the way many believe) is just out of it.

I also think it's foolish to think AI can solve a ton of problems, even if it can function as an assistant. I recently watched a video on YouTube where a guy demonstrated the development of his own bot that works in the forecast market, searching for profitable offers as quickly as possible and setting everything himself. The artificial intelligence quickly finds the bot's specified parameters. Overall, it's an interesting solution; it's better than monitoring everything yourself. But I don't really believe it will be 100% correct, and it could make mistakes.

You have a point, we shouldn't depend on Ai to get informations on sports predictions, it is important to get these predictions from other sources and make comparisons with the ones you get from AI. The bettors personal knowledge is also very important as well because Ai wasn't designed to predict it only gives suggestions.

I don't know why anyone would even think of using AI to make predictions on matches when in fact AI works as model, there are some AI that you will give prompt and you are going to be satisfied with their response and their some of them that if you give them a simple task, they will give you jargons that is not even close to the task you want it to do for you and that begs the question if there is any specific AI for gambling or sport predictions in general.

I may be lazy to look at the betting market to make predictions but I don't think I will be too lazy to the point of me making predictions to depend on AI. I will not even try it when I'm sure that AI can't even do some predictions that even human does. If some people give you prediction about some games, you will be convince that we have gamblers that are very unique in their style of gambling instead of looking for shortcuts to make money from gambling.

[Alpha Marine]

I've not used it yet, but I believe there will be an AI like that. All it does is use data to analyse games. I believe that if the AI has access to all the data and statistics, it would make better and faster predictions.
I've had an idea where you can get an AI that all you need to do is input a particular upcoming fixture, and it gives you all the information about both teams and their fixtures. This includes injuries, individual players' performance and current form, how a team plays when they meet specific teams and everything else, from the kind of goals they score to when they score them and all.
I believe the bookies have similar tools that make these kinds of analysis for them because there are some games where you wonder why a team has such big/small odds. Like the Atleti vs Celta games over the weekend. I wondered why Atleti got over 2 odds to win despite the fact that they were at home. I almost bet on Atleti to win because of the odd, but I didn't. In the end Celta won the game.

An AI like that would not be easy to create, and it would not be free. Most people would not want to pay for a service that does not guarantee them wins. The truth is, nothing can predict the future. The best anybody or any tool can do is use the current information, history, stats and form of the teams to make a prediction.

I don't pay for anything related to gambling, but if I see a tool that makes unbias and accurate analysis of every game, I think I would try it out and see.At the end of the day, it's still me who would still have to make the decision, all teh tool does is point me in the right (or wrong in some cases) direction.

[SOKO-DEKE]

AI can't be fully helpful in sports betting, but it can help in some cases. Cases where AI can help a gambler include getting information from past matches and doing its own analysis, or possibly helping with analysis. However, the point is that predictions from AI can still be wrong because AI also relies on past information and some current information to make predictions, which cannot always guarantee accurate results.In fact, we should know that sports are unpredictable because anything can happen. Since humans are the ones playing, they can make mistakes or games can possibly be manipulated. There are many factors that affect sports predictions. So, anyone thinking of depending completely on AI may be mistaken unless the person is simply lucky.It is not easy for a gambler to always win; it only seems possible to get correct predictions sometimes. A lot of people have used different strategies to predict games, but they still get it wrong because betting largely depends on luck.

[Slow death]

Speaking of AI, the other day I saw a friend of mine saying he was testing AI to predict games. How on earth he got into that, I don't know. I also don't know the exact reasons why he decided to go down that path, but I can assume it's because he told me he was constantly losing. So I see that he realized he was being incompetent and went looking for something he believes to be effective.

That's the problem for many people: when they lose constantly, despair sets in. They don't calm down, they don't see those losses as simple losses that are part of the entertainment and that it will always be like that most of the time, and that for this reason, gambling should be seen as just entertainment. They quickly run to easy solutions, and now with AI, I believe many people will start using that.
