Re: Show HN: Gambit - betting predictions, done right
#2Hello HN,
I developed Gambit out of the necessity to speed up and improve the process of collecting the data needed to choose good soccer bets. With the collected data the algorithm performs computations and statistical matches in order to assign a risk factor to each match, and then sorts the available bets of the next two days by their risk.
This tool helped me so much in my betting activity that I decided to turn it into an actual product and beta testing (actually my users are friends and friends of friends, since I am launching today on HN and before yesterday the site was private) is giving good results and I just wanted to ask you for suggestions and feedback, plus you can earn some little money if you are into sports betting, which never harms :)
The website is still really in development mode, with no time zones, no good documentation, not rendering properly on IE and, yeah, it's pretty basic. But the algorithm is good and working, so feel safe to use it for testing your betting hypothesis if you like. I am still thinking about how to monetize it, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks a lot for your time and attention, love HN.

If it works, can't you monetize it by using it and betting larger amounts?

yes, for sure. that's what I'm already doing, but I just wanted to add another source of income by earning money from
the users too.

#5Create affiliate links for sport betting sites as well so when users visit Gambit - you can point them in the right direction.
In fact nowhere on the 'more info' does it say where to place the bet at the odds you have given? (where the odds from?)
Also why not consider using betfair's API (or others) to place bets for users?

This is not always possible. Most betting sites impose limits on your betting or events according to behaviour.
So his idea make sense :)
