I’m visiting family in Illinois this weekend, which means we can sports bet. I made a GPT with access to weekly NFL Player Stats: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-vxtiCaEDN-fantasy-football-stats-cruncher

Today I used it to help me make (semi) informed sports bets on the days games.

Travis Kelce to score a TD estimated at 66% likelihood of No, and 44% likelihood of yes.

This data point tells me nothing

Ahh the context I needed

So the odds were set slightly below his historical probability for this season, and on top of that, he is playing a good Def. Seems like the Swifties may be betting with their hearts.

Lamar Jackson

KC has let up 211.5 yards 53% of the time

So it’s two 53% scenarios? How does that work? Is the bet right on? Do I multiple them? I’m not sure, but I’m just going to take the over because even a square bet is a pretty good bet in sports gambling. Wish me luck!
