How I generated 217% ROI with sports betting and machine learning

Update

The time has finally come: I’v been working on this project for over one year now and finally I can present the first version of my site https://www.sports-ai.dev/! There you can get free predictions of hundreds of sports events per day, which are based on much more complex models than described in this blog post. A separate blog post about my project will follow the next days. Feel free to check it out!

Notabene: Have you ever heard of sure bets/sure betting? If you’re interested in that topic, please visit https://www.sure-bets.today for getting latest sure bets for free!

Take a look here to get an overview of the bets I placed.

I will split this article in three parts:

The first part will be about the data and the preprocessing I used in order to create the foundation of my machine learning algo. Secondly, I will talk about the bookmaker I used to place the bets. This might not sound as important as for…
