NBA Winner Prediction
In our pilot article we promised our readers that in the upcoming posts we will be sharing our success stories and tell you guys more about the startups that reached out to us and we helped them to go live. Today we are going to share the story of collaboration of Tensor Labs with Hyper.
Why NBA?
Basketball is a popular sport played by millions of people around the world, and the National Basketball Association (NBA) is the premier professional basketball league in North America. Consisting of 30 teams, the NBA generates billions of dollars in revenue each year and has a significant economic impact. Its games and content are available in over 1,000 languages, and it has a presence in over 200 countries and territories.
Predicting the winner?
The popularity of the NBA has also led to a large sports betting market, with people trying to predict the winners of games in order to place bets. This can be a difficult task, as there are many variables at play, including the teams’ current form, injuries, and team dynamics. In order to make more informed predictions, various algorithms and efforts have been made, including the use of machine learning techniques to analyze past data and identify patterns.
Where does Tensor Labs fit in?
Recently, we were approached by a client named Hyper, who was looking for a solution to help them predict the winners of NBA matches. We were excited to take on this project and applied a range of machine learning techniques to analyze past data and identify patterns that might indicate a potential winner. We also used real-time data sources, such as player statistics and in-game events, to make more accurate predictions.
In just four months, we were able to develop an NBA prediction product from scratch for Hyper and take it live, allowing them to sell the product to the actual market and generate revenue. Not only did we handle the machine learning aspect of the project, but we also provided Hyper with a complete end-to-end solution, including data scraping and ETL, model training and pipeline creation, API creation and deployment, and automation of the job.
Right now, our team is engaged with the client to make our model even better. In fact, our model currently has a 76% prediction accuracy rate for the 2022–23 season of the NBA. If you want to see how accurate our results are, you can visit the Hyper site and sign up for a free trial. We are confident that you will be impressed with the performance of our model.
We are proud of the success of this project and the value it has brought to our client. It is a testament to our expertise in developing and deploying machine learning products, as well as our ability to provide complete end-to-end solutions for clients. If you have an idea and want to bring it to fruition, we would love to hear from you. You can visit our LinkedIn or reach out to us at info@tensorlabs.io to learn more about how we can help you turn your ideas into reality.
What’s next?
In the next articles we will keep introducing more of our clients which in collaboration with us have turned their ideas into reality. Stay tuned for more updates 😃.
