Can a PhD Student Use Predictive Analytics to “Beat The Sportsbook”?
UPDATED: The Data Science Report has created a new section “PhD PREDICTION PROJECTS!” In this section we are going to profile interesting predictive analytics projects by “up and coming” PhD and Masters students/recent grads.
Our first project looks at Eric Chalmer’s computer model that uses Machine Learning to predict the outcome and how much to wager on MMA/UFC fights. While initially a hobby, his algo’s have performed remarkably well (total return of 160%+) during the first 10 months and we’re tracking his predictions here. Read More
