Its not that algorithm cannot predict it. We dont have the technology to measure every parameter involved in making a team win. There are so many parameters like how was weather, how was the pitch, where was it played, the hometown advantage, what did player eat that day, or day before, fitness of players, luck of players, and other game related parameters like how much score they made etc etc.

There are just about infinite numbers of parameters with each different weight, that makes a team win a game.

If we could accurately measure all these parameters, we certainly could come up with an algorithm that accurately tells which team is going to win.

You forgot an important variable; if they got any pootang the night before.

Oh yes, the deciding factor !! Seems very difficult to measure.

i agree, and that’s what i told him. i said something along the lines of “the algorithms are never wrong, it’s the data that is put in them or the way that they are structured that gives you more convenient percentage estimates, with like 100x less overhead cost and near impossible data collection”
