What happens when sports bettors have access to predictions that are more accurate than the sportsbooks themselves? John Hanna, co-founder of XO Sports, joins MaxBet to talk about the technology behind an app reporting externally audited prediction accuracy as high as 78%, compared with sportsbook predictions around 64–67%. And that raises a much more interesting question: what happens when the bettor gets smarter?
John and Hillary get into how a group of technologists built XO Sports to process millions of streams of data, continuously learn and improve its predictions, and put technology traditionally held by sophisticated operators directly into the hands of everyday sports bettors.
They also get into the questions investors keep asking: What do sportsbooks think about it? What happens if bettors start winning too much? Can the technology work across different sports, brands and markets? And if you can build a system to predict sports this accurately, what else could you use it to predict?
