Idea type: Swamp

The market has seen several mediocre solutions that nobody loves. Unless you can offer something fundamentally different, you’ll likely struggle to stand out or make money.

Should You Build It?

Don't build it.

Your are here

Your idea of building a sports betting mispricing finder falls into a crowded space. We found 12 similar products, so confidence in our assessment is high, but competition will also be fierce. These products are categorized as a 'Swamp,' indicating that many existing solutions are mediocre and fail to capture significant user interest. Engagement with similar products is low, with an average of only 1 comment per product. There's no strong positive signal that people are explicitly seeking such tools or willing to pay for them. Given the existing landscape, it's crucial to differentiate your offering significantly to gain traction, otherwise it is likely you will be wasting your time.

Recommendations

  1. Thoroughly investigate why existing sports betting mispricing finders haven't achieved widespread success. Identify their shortcomings in terms of accuracy, user experience, data sources, or supported sports. Understand what users find lacking in current solutions.
  2. If you decide to proceed, concentrate on a niche within sports betting. This could be a specific sport (e.g., eSports, niche European soccer leagues), a particular type of bet (e.g., prop bets, futures), or a demographic of bettors (e.g., high-stakes gamblers, casual bettors). Tailoring your solution to a narrowly defined group could make it more appealing and easier to market.
  3. Instead of directly competing with existing betting platforms, consider building tools that enhance their functionality or integrate with them. This could involve creating APIs, data feeds, or analytical dashboards that give bettors an edge on established platforms. This can serve as a great way to prove out your tech.
  4. Explore adjacent problems within the sports analytics or gambling industries. Perhaps there is more opportunity in providing data analysis services to sports teams or developing risk management tools for bookmakers. This might lead you to a less crowded market with greater revenue potential.
  5. Given the criticisms in similar product launches, focus on demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of your algorithms. Provide transparent performance metrics, backtest results, and verifiable profit data. Address user skepticism by showcasing the validity of your findings.
  6. Consider the business model carefully. Some similar products explored subscription models for match picks, while others were hesitant to sell profitable systems. Experiment with different pricing strategies, freemium options, or revenue-sharing agreements to find a model that aligns with your target audience.

Questions

  1. What specific data sources and algorithmic techniques will you employ to ensure your mispricing finder is demonstrably more accurate and reliable than existing solutions?
  2. How will you address the common skepticism surrounding AI-powered betting tools and provide concrete evidence of your system's profitability to potential users?
  3. Considering the low engagement seen in similar products, what innovative marketing and community-building strategies will you use to attract and retain a loyal user base for your mispricing finder?

This chart summarizes all the similar products we found for your idea in a single plot.

The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments. The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.

Using bots and maths to beat the sportsbooks

30 Oct 2023 Artificial Intelligence

I have recently developed a bot capable of simultaneously scanning over 140+ sportsbooks around the globe. It analyzes millions of odds in real time and uses this data to find overpriced odds.The logic behind it is straightforward: it uses odds from all sportsbooks to calculate the probabilities of an event occurring. Then, with simple maths it determines if the expected value is positive, meaning the potential payout exceeds the risk.Unfortunately, sportsbooks limit your accounts once they realize that you are profitable and not a losing customer. So I have already been limited at more than 15 sportsbooks, but in the process I have made a substantial amount of money. Some months closing at over $5,000 worth of profit.The bot supports most sportsbooks from the US, UK, EU, Canada and Latin America and finds hundreds of these opportunities per day and sends them to a Discord channel.Beyond finding +EV bets (positive expected value), it can also identify arbitrage opportunities (surebets), allowing us to bet on all the outcomes of an event for a guaranteed profit.I’d love to hear your thoughts about it!

Using AI to bet on soccer games. $5,200 profit so far

27 Sep 2023 Artificial Intelligence

In the last month, I whipped up and started testing this cool custom tool that uses AI to suggest good bets for live soccer games, mostly focusing on stuff like "+2.5 goals" and "+1.5 goals."So far, it's been pretty spot-on about 80% of the time, and it's brought me over $5,000 in profits. But now, I am not sure about the next step:- Was it just luck, or can I keep counting on this kind of success?- Up to now, it's just been me using it. Should I think about selling access to others or just keep it to myself?- What kind of legal stuff do I need to watch out for if I want to sell it? I'm guessing I've got to be real careful with how I pitch it.Any thoughts or advice on this?

Users suggest starting a subscription service for weekly match picks. There are also questions about the reason for selling despite high earnings.

Users criticized the decision to sell a highly valuable asset, questioning the rationale behind selling the 'golden goose.' Additionally, there were doubts about the authenticity of the high earnings claim, with users skeptical about the accuracy and truthfulness of the reported figures.

Analysing Euro 2024 betting odds with scraping and AI

27 Jun 2024 Data & Analytics

I created a bot which analyses Euro 2024 betting odds and performs some basic analysis based on the recent form of each team and provides advice on which odds are under/over-priced by email to all subscribers.The intelligence of the bot is admittedly rather basic but this simple app shows how easy it is to reliably scrape and parse structured data with AI and perform insightful analysis. The initial version of the bot, shown in the notebook took about 15 minutes to build.Disclosure: this bot is built on our new graph based #nocode platform NodeScript.dev, which we've recently brought to market.
