[Mertron]

ah

well, nevertheless,

I didn't see the game but I looked this up, and it looks like the kid is wearing Belgium gear.

After taking the piss for most of the world cup, yesterday I gave Gemini's advanced math model $20 to do quant analysis, leveraging parlays and alt lines to build "middles" for odds below +500 (like taking the ML for one team and +points for the opponent in same parlay). It does regression gap analysis of traditional and peripheral stats and completely restricts any public or sharps betting trends factoring into the analysis. For example, today I had under 4 total goals, Spain to advance, Belgium +2. France and Morocco hit similar. It has cleaned house. I'm waiting for the inevitable downfall.

Oh man that is going to be so exploitable.

Now excuse me while I put an AI model on my phone and head off to the nearest casino.

My last bet of the night is Arizona ML, Arizona >4.5 runs, and Dodgers +3.5 and that bet is looking good. 20 to win 150. It'll take me from $25 to $300 in 2 days. My inevitable crashout is going be hard.

I haven't watched a pitch of pro baseball in years.

Oh man that is going to be so exploitable.

Honestly can't see it panning out in the long term because sports doesn't always follow expectations.

[Tyche]

And books always correct. But I don't know how you bridge a gap when literally anyone will have access to the best quantitative analysis that previously only a select few had the capabilities to run. It wouldn't be hard to setup a mcp server for a sport book and create several tools that would leverage different analysis for different sports.

I have strong opinions about how the cost efficiency of coding is going to cause a bronze age level event as people understand how to integrate contextual/agentic AI for specific things. What model context protocols have done for my home automation has been life changing. Creating fully cloded scripts I could have never done on my own. It even does pattern recognition with every connected device in my home and suggests changes. This is all going to get simplified for anyone to code anything into a device. It'll become cheaper to run. And then fusion...

"I'm sorry Tyche. I'm afraid I can't do that."

I'm not kidding, it would take me approximately 90 seconds to turn my whole home audio into HAL where it fucks with me until I use a trigger word to bring it back to a normal home.

my home is so analog, it's crazy how many steps ahead you are
