It's Showtime: Our Sports Betting Algorithm is Live and Profitable! [Code + Data Included]
The 2023 MLB season has officially kicked off, and as too has our algorithm.
It’s been a long time coming, but the start of baseball season has arrived and our algorithm is up and running. Before going over the performance, we’ll first start by explaining a few changes, how we verify the predictions, and how you can easily implement this on your own.
I will assume you’ve been following along, so we’ll skip over what’s already been covered. But if you’re new here, I highly recommend starting here:
The Changes
When designing a system that makes heavy use of historical data, it’s challenging to know which historical period is the most optimal. For example, using data from 2000-2005 might have a different prediction than from using data from 2017-2022. To solve this, we designed a simple “chunking” approach.
