CZ Podcast 206 — AI in the basketball hoop

This time my companion Jiří Fabián was absent, but the subject was fascinating, at least to me as a sports fan. Podcast 206 is another human-versus-machine episode. Jan Čislinský and Lubomír Šerý from the startup Betpivot joined us. What is the probability that LeBron James will score more than thirty points in his next game? Is he playing with his favorite teammates? Is one returning from injury? Is the game at home or away? The guys bet that the AI they trained would be statistically more likely to predict correctly than a bookmaker setting odds by personal judgment.
