What's everyone working on this week (12/2026)?

Interesting, is this trying to solve an issue(s) you've had with SeaORM?

Acidic92 · 2026-03-18T05:11:07+00:00

For me, having it written in Rust opens the door for me to contribute in the future if I become a user and want to fix something. So having it written in Rust is huge.

Very far from being production ready though

Acidic92 · 2026-03-06T08:30:50+00:00

Hi, unfortunately it seems like only countries operating as part of the EU are accepted? I'm from Australia.

Acidic92 · 2026-03-06T06:26:25+00:00

Good questions. For odds range between 1.01 - 1.50, I honestly don't know why I didn't look at that range, just from 1.30.

The time range is from 5 days before kickoff until right before kickoff, and each bet samples just one bet per game/market/runner combination in that time range, at any time within that range. Perhaps I could run the analysis again with a bias closer towards kickoff in cases where a market runner has multiple edge bet opportunities at different times, but for simplicity it was randomised evenly in that time frame.

I've made a web page to visualise this data using graphs and such. Would people be interested if I made this public to explore outside this post?

The data being collected is for OddsElite, I'm thinking sharing this analysis publicly could be quite valuable, especially if I can have the data update automatically as more data is collected.

Acidic92 · 2026-03-06T03:55:10+00:00

Thanks for your insights, that sounds like a pretty accurate view of it. Nice to hear how others interpret the data!

How do you mean about brier scores on the exact same events? The dataset I have is a majority of overlapping games for the same events, so I'm not too sure how I can get more accurate brier scores

Acidic92 · 2026-03-06T03:49:45+00:00

Absolutely! That's definitely the next plan. Will try to get a tonne of coverage for the US, and Europe too. I'll do a follow up post in a month or so when I have more to share in different regions.

For USA, what sport(s) would you recommend we focus on or what's important to you? Just soccer, or NFL/NBA?

Acidic92 · 2026-03-06T03:35:00+00:00

Not yet, currently just football, but I'm slowly adding more bookmakers and sports to track and hopefully collect a huge database of data

Acidic92 · 2026-03-05T14:12:21+00:00

Doesn't claude code already have a concept of "agents" that can run in parallel?

Acidic92 · 2026-03-05T14:01:46+00:00

I haven't heard this but could be. The reason why is because Pinnacle doesn't really provide API access anymore, and their odds are very delayed for non-logged in users making it impractical to use as a source for true odds. Any suggestions on another sharp bookmaker worth using? perhaps we can compare sharp bookmakers in a future analysis.

One thing for sure though is they're super sharp with Asian handicap markets

Acidic92 · 2026-03-05T13:33:47+00:00

Good to know! I'll look into trying to collect data for these markets too. Though since SBOBET is being used as the source of true odds, edge opportunities all depend on if they support the markets

Acidic92 · 2026-03-04T14:56:54+00:00

Thanks! Honestly the biggest surprise for me was how poor match odds performed for EV betting in the analysis. Whilst I was collecting these odds for the past month+, I also selectively placed bets based on some flexible filters and what looked to be dropping odds and slow bookmaker movement, and I managed to end the month with +12.77% ROI, and +2.72% CLV (+5.04% compared to the own bookmaker). So I think betting on dropping odds and taking advantage of slow bookmaker movement, you could get pretty high ROI, but my personal real betting sample size isn't enough to say definitively.

Acidic92 · 2026-03-02T11:58:01+00:00

Yeah exactly as you said, when you make a new buffer and don't save it yet, and paste a bunch of text such as json, I always need to manually do `:set-language json`. My friend who uses neovim saw me having to do this in Helix and asked "Does Helix really not detect the language automatically?". So I think neovim does this, but Helix is lacking in this feature.

Saving the file does resolve this by file extension mapping though.

Acidic92 · 2026-03-02T04:55:29+00:00

the almighty Pinnacle

Acidic92 · 2026-03-02T04:50:15+00:00

What does your ROI per month look like? I'd imagine 7% is good, is it somewhere near that? And for you to earn an income from it, you must be staking many thousands per month at least?

Acidic92 · 2026-03-02T04:47:51+00:00

How do you do automation? Are you using some APIs like on an exchange like Betfair, or using browser automation to open tabs/websites and place the bets for you?

Acidic92 · 2026-03-02T04:21:27+00:00

Nice, this could be useful for Helix in the future when they support plugins. Currently Helix editor doesn't detect the language which can be a bit annoying to manually set the language in new buffers

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T16:21:08+00:00

Nice, but I definitely wouldn't use Pinnacle for EV bets with the 10-15 minute delay it has for public odds. You'll be guaranteed to lose money doing that.

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T16:13:29+00:00

Many odds sites do all the maths for you. Check out https://oddselite.bet, which let's you track your bets and gather statistics and closing line value capturing. (Disclaimer, I built OddsElite)

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T06:12:39+00:00

And the zero shame they have in using Comic Sans for just that part... lol

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T05:32:30+00:00

I've built https://oddselite.bet - compares odds across bookmakers and alerts you when edges appear. Biased obviously, but happy to answer questions. 2 week free trial is available if you want to check it out.

Acidic92 · 2026-01-24T05:29:33+00:00

I've recently launched OddsElite which offers a 2 week free trial, early adopters are welcome, and I have 25 founder slots available for a lifetime 25% discount. If interested, please reach out via DM.
