A fellow british hacker freind showed me a project he has been working on lately. What it does is analyze bets online in football (soccer w/e).
If you do not know in football you can bet on practically everything , from win/draw/loose , total goals in a match under/over 1/2/3 goals. What his software does is analyze the two playing teams and finds facts about them. How many goals did they score in there last 3 matches? Have they lost the last 3 matches? Have they ever won against this team in the current football stadium? Are there star players on the bench ect.


Each team is then given a win percentage and he decides from that what to gamble on.

It is not 100% but it is profitable (almost doubling money) so it beats the odds on doing the lottery every week for instance but im still somewhat skeptical. WHat do you guys think? Ever heard of anything like this before?
