Sports betting is worth all the hype right now,
it is increasingly becoming one of the most
popular and regular methods of entertainment all
over the world. Regular players are usually
hooked to Sports betting sites nowadays and often
end up spending a lot of money. But did it ever
occur to you to ask, how gamblers decide their
betting strategy? Often time most of the bettors
rely on luck while placing their bets rather than
have iron-clad logic or reasoning. Their ideology
is to take any opportunity to make a profit and
then keep on making wagers.  While there are
several strategies a bettor could use but often
success and profits still elude them. To truly
have a winning strategy on your hand data science
would be the key you need to make
logically-driven gambling decisions.

Before directly jumping to the strategy part
let's first discuss what we mean by Data science?
Data Science is a scientific field that relies on
a specific process to provide solutions to the
users. Using the Data Science technique in sports
betting would require a huge number of databases
which could then be used to derive certain
patterns which will improve the winning chances.
With data science, a system can be created that
would give the betters an edge and help turn
chances into profits. Gambling is a game of
numbers thus the player who is armed with
information would enjoy a relatively better
chance of making money with Sports betting either
in casinos or in betting houses. There are a
number of data websites in the market today which
provide their odds to the users and often help
users in predicting the chances of different
outcomes as well. These sites would sell
information and assist gamblers in predicting the
outcomes accurately for events.

While that all sounds fancy what can be the
limitations? Mostly in the gambling industry, the
operators will try to push the theory of luck
onto their players, this would create an illusion
in the mind of the players that they can win only
if they are lucky enough. While the
methodological approach to data science would not
be talked about. In some cases, you might have
witnessed that betting houses sometimes introduce
limits if they see a player regularly winning
with a certain system. The betting houses have
thus restricted the number of bets you can place.

How do Gambling Companies leverage Data
Science?  Gamblers who approach data science
systematically can improve their chances of
winning regularly but apart from betters,
gambling companies also leverage Data Science
from time to time. The operators use Data
Science to ensure that the odds are not exploited
by a particular user. Also, Bookmakers use a
number of factors like the performance of the
team, the players skill set and talent as well
as the performance history of the players and
their form, injuries, weather, and previous
record against the opponent to come up with the
right odds and they do that by leveraging data
science.

The use of data science was first used by
gambling companies only and later on it trickled
down to gamblers. Apart from safeguarding against
fraud, there are a number of events that take
place in a match. Numbers can be used to predict
an athletes performance as well taking into
consideration many factors such as talent, skill,
experience, further form, potential injury, and
performance history all of these would help
produce better odds.

The technology revolution has brought several
opportunities for all the parties involved. The
same can be seen in the gambling industry as
well. Over the years' a new way to bet has also
been evolved- Micro-betting. It is essentially a
form of live in-game betting, betters would place
their bets on the outcome of individual moments
within a match for example the next pitch in
baseball, the next move in football, and so
on. The last question we plan to answer is how
would Operators now get access to a rich
database?
