How To Use Big Data To Predict The Future In Betting and Trading Markets
In this video, we will discuss how to use ‘big data’ to predict the future of betting and trading markets.
I use data to formulate, test and use my favoured Betfair trading strategies.
The main reason for doing this video is to point out that much ‘data mining’ is useless. People often look for trends in data by backtesting.
The problem with this is that it just describes a data set; it does not predict anything. Looking at past data, you will always find a profitable and long-term winning strategy. But when you deploy it into a market, it will probably revert to me.
