Algorithmic Betting: At What Point Does the Human Element Become Obsolete?

Learning curve steep but valuable.

Even basic Python and pandas library provides significant advantage over manual analysis.

Resources available. Question is time investment versus expected return.
 
Klaus correct. Time investment substantial. Most won't do it.

Which ensures algorithmic edge persists for those who do.
 
I respect you guys for having these skills, but I teach high school and coach. I don't have 20 hours a week to learn programming.

I'll accept lower ROI and stick with what works for me.
 
Same here mate.

I'm an electrician not a computer scientist.

I'll bet my rugby matches and if I lose I lose.
 
And that's totally fine. Different goals require different approaches.

The people who need to worry are those trying to make serious money without adapting to market changes.
 
Honestly this whole conversation is making me reconsider whether I want to keep betting seriously.

If algorithms are the future, maybe I'm better off investing in index funds and betting recreationally.
 
Rational conclusion.

Risk-adjusted returns on algorithmic betting development may not exceed passive investing for most individuals.

Time opportunity cost significant factor.
 
Agree with Klaus. Most people better off with day job plus index funds.

Betting as hobby, not income source.
 
lads this went from depressing to really depressing... youre all saying betting is pointless unless youre a computer programmer...
 
Not pointless Conor. Just not a viable career path for most people anymore.

Which is fine. Most hobbies don't make money.
 
Not weird at all Princess. That's actually the healthiest relationship with betting for most people.
 
Yeah Princess you got the right idea.

Rest of us taking it too seriously.
 
Entertainment betting perfectly valid.

This discussion relevant primarily for profit-seeking bettors.

Different objectives require different frameworks.
 
Same here. Uncomfortable but necessary discussion.

The betting landscape is changing whether we like it or not.
 
Agreed. Valuable exchange of perspectives.

Community benefits from honest assessment of market evolution.
