Just wanted to make an introduction. Very interesting approaches to sports betting here. Love the confluence of markets, modelling and sports. A few questions on what people are seeing out there:
- About what kind of a R-square values have people's models been hitting? At about what value do you think you're getting close to something usable?
- Anyone testing models and/or individual variables for statistical significance?
- Any predictions on how long it would take before sportsbooks start using machine-learning models? When/if this happens (if it hasn't already), do we all lose our edge?
Pretty freaking excited to have found this forum. Very interested in people's thoughts on this stuff!
