Football - Week 1 Bet Results

09/02/2024

A rough week to start the betting season.  The model's predictions didn't even break 50/50!   This is the worst week of predictions since it's creation.   Testing over the last two full seasons of football showed a much more successful model.  While unsure as to why, the model will no undergo changes in between Weeks 1 and 2, but with some new, more accurate data being fed to it, there's hope for a much better second week.
