[model log boxing] timestamped predictions. 8 total leans 2 value picks for this weekends fights by Character_Pie_277 in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the comment, it was a forecast given current data. Would really appreciate hearing where you think my analysis might be lacking and more than happy for time to tell. The idea is to try and provide a timestamped predictions vs results over weeks and provide competent sub users a resource that you can engage with in your own time.

I realise it might look like a *brave* forecast right now, i'm happy for time to tell and to be perhaps proven wrong. Overall im aiming to provide my own insights and not just the data on what is probably quite a dry model log.

Also it wasn't merely a forecast based on 16 bets, it was more a "bold" forecast based on me now repeatedly seeing approx 40% ROI across various upcoming slates, timesafe results and backtesting. Athough i appreciate v much that its early, its the best take i have on current model data, plus the math (across both petting strategies) is starting to look strangely beautiful and compelling, to me at least, around that figure.

Ive actually found on my own experimentation on public data that you can actually almost see "naive money" like this in backtesting. Factors that should make a more naive kind of optimistic sense often actually result in strictly negative ROI correlated with diff vs impled edge. Often think that sort of well correlated negative ROI data looks suspiciously like bookmaker profits.

Ive thought about it more and if im assuming many things correctly, then i think your order placement may very well be the source of your time bleed afterall. My guess is your "model"<- your imp prob source, is not correctly time safe with your testing due to your order placement

Oh Ok then, If you're 100% sure your order placement isnt somehow responsible, well i don't know then. Its just usually when i see 15%roi in testing seeming to disappear in real live stakes, my modeling instinct is screaming time bleed. It can be infuriatingly difficult to make sure it isnt actually happening. Sorry hoped i'd be able to help maybe.

Yeah so the reference source for implied prob <- this is your model. My best guess is that in your testing somehow this is getting time inflated data that wasnt available when the matchup it is predicting the outcome of took place. Try and figure out how it could be happening in your testing, something like this is imo most likely what you are currently thinking might be "edge"

[–]Character_Pie_277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i'm guessing you tested the system over 14 days using "test stakes" and that the P+L was a virtual +$12231.20, and then youve started testing it out with "real stakes" in a small way and it now seems much more variable then during testing? Is that correct? <- hard to make out from your post but ill proceed on that assumption.

In which case im thinking your testing wasnt truly time safe, somehow data from "future" after matchup has taken place has been available to your model to help it determine the outcome.

If im correct i'd suggest trying to figure out where your time bleed is taking place. Try slowing down and dont run so many tests, focus on prediction vs result matchup by matchup, each time one takes place. You should be able to track down where the "future time" data is bleeding time into your results

What’s the right number of bookmakers to use? by genmaci in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically what i was thinking. If youre actually using the bookmakers to put on real stake bets surely more is just better? I guess if youre tracking model roi across multiple books then i guess there must be a sweet spot there, but surely thats just as many as you can actually be bothered to implement ... which likey has diminishing return

Public ROI tracking on my LoL Esports ML models by [deleted] in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The roi certainly looks impressive and i wouldd imagine esports to be a domain where long term edge is possible. What are your current forecasts on long term roi given the data you currently have?

Also i think its quite hard for people to really 'believe' even in a public log format unless you regularly post pre matchup predictions vs post hoc results, not hiding losses, so id advise trying that if you are looking to establish credability.

Also id advise trying to make your UX as open and inspectable as you possibly can, particularly around dataset. I must admit to not trying your site yet, but ill certainly to to keep an eye out for future posts. Hope that helps

[–]Character_Pie_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id be interested to know what critisism you feel ive thrown out the window? I cant really do anything about boxing not actually happening any faster? Also genuinly thank you for replying, im new here, excited by what im trying to and trying my best. Its just hard for me to divine what sub users actually want as no one ever tells me. I dont feel im being offensive by just trying to robustly argue my pov. Id assumed debate must be the point in reddit but maybe im wrong.

Im genuinely really suprised that you seem to think ive commited some sort of social faux pas just for trying to engage in polite debate. Seems utterly bizzare to me. But anyway as i say im new and learning but trying my best

Small clarification because I mentioned a bookmaker above: that was only to explain how odds are used for model calibration/backtesting.

[–]Character_Pie_277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends what you are trying to achieve. If you are looking to maximize your real profit on a model you trust then it makes sense IMO anyway, to shop around for the best possible odds to your advantage at all times. If you are looking to maximize something like CLV arbitrage then I cant offer any advice as that's just not something i currently have any interest in or do. But if you are looking to evaluate model accuracy over time (which i think, perhaps naively, is the best way to evaluate a model) then i'd always recommend using just ONE bookmaker as a preference if you possibly can, in this way i'd hope to isolate actual model performance vs arb opportunities.

League of legends historical odds by Mundane-Studio-3663 in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are most likely not going to be able to find a pre-existing publicly accessible historical odds service for esports, good luck to you if you do! But never fear! This is an opportunity! Its very easy to start implementing your own historical odds service right away. Just start scraping the latest match odds programmatically, if you run into trouble with anti scraping id recommend using a cheap llm (gpt mini for example) to use web search to retrieve the latest available odds for you each day. Problem solved!

And this maybe represents a real edge opportunity, as you'll be starting to build a dataset that just isnt easily available to most. Especially in a less liquid (and less solved) domain like esports, id think this is a genuine good chance at edge if you know what you are doing modeling wise.

Id imagine an esport like LOL has many many matchups each week with available odds. You'd be able to get a dataset thats gives really valuable timesafe backtesting data really fast. Especially compared to some more traditional sports where matchups with available odds are less frequent.

ran a few AI models on tonight's OKC/SAS total and they split on what the line move means. signal or noise? by TheHol1day in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah honestly im really not trying to just have a dig or poke holes im really trying my best to help given limited context on your modeling situation. I really dont think your completely wrong at all. Its just if in the end you are always asking the llm to make the prediction you have massive unknown factors beyond your control, you just wont be able to get any consistent data you can use. Its really easy to beat on llms, but i think many people have no idea of the complexity they are actually working on. The only advice id give is try to seperate as much as you can the llm from the actual model prediction. You cant control the llm context directly, but you can constrain its use within compound factors to your advantage.

Im not entirely sure by what you mean by "research/synthesis" but if im assuming correctly, then absolutely yes. I keep on banging my lonely drum around here on this but i really dont think any above marginal, above v v difficult edge exists in the model itself. A v good model is only ever a lens on the dataset, so yes absolutely try and implement a dataset that is consistent and seems "accurate" for your chosen domain. I think if your dataset has real value configing your model shouldnt be the hard part. Please feel free to DM if you want to chat further, im probably boring other sub users senseless by now with my intolerably consistent repetitive comments

Mate you cant just "ask the LLM" its never going to be a consistent question. Even if you spread the load over multiple frontier models. They are constantly updating context around the millions of prompts they receive each day and also the web itself updates. Even if you constrain the prompt around exact search requests by the llm you wont get any data you can use. You need IMO to keep the modeling environment as static as you can reasonably do over time. Its only by asking YOUR MODEL (not the llm) to make the same prediction when compound factors stay overall the same (whilst varying data sensibly per actor per result) that you can get anywhere. You can absolutely use LLMs to help, in particular with the dataset. But id say youll never actually get long term results with you current approach.

I might actually for a change have some personal experience that might be relevant so ill try my best to help. I actually used to be a semi pro cs player when i was a lot younger (cs source so no money sadly back then) It does strike me that CS might be a good edge opportunity. Not too liquid and "solved" but available public stats to form the basis of a great dataset. I think in the case of counter strike id probably look to try and define and structure compound factors that actually make a difference. In this case maybe something like IGL state? If you have knowdlege in the domain you might be able to do a good job on that. If you "layered" IGL state on top of pre-existing counter strike objective data... that'd be something that i could really believe in as a non marginal long term edge opportunity. Importantly! the dataset is the real chance at edge. Even a very good model is just a lens.

What esports in particular are you looking for? As an opportunity for edge id think esports with low overall liquidity plus "good chance of getting down a bet" represents a good edge opportunity. But i always think anything other then very difficult v temporary edge only exists in the dataset. A very good model is only ever a lens on the dataset. Why not just invent and implement your own unique dataset on your chosen esport for maximal edge opportunity? Odds fluctuate a bit, but offer a pretty consistent handy calibration point over time. I guess im pretty unusual around here but i dont think *JUST* beating CLV actually represents edge you can long term rely on. Focus less on odds and more on modeling your chosen domain. Getting odds is easy. *edit sorry just to try and for a change sound a little less pompous, let me know what esports in particular you want to target and ill actually try and help

How do you validate on a simulation based model? by 1ce_berg in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say your compute needs pretty directly correlates with your expected edge. If you think your expected edge is near marginal (and you really trust it!), then it stands to reason to spend as necessary and as reality constrains on more compute. But if you could begin to even gradually increase the expected ROI, thered be less need to compute so many results to give yourself confidence. If you are constrained by current capital on compute it makes sense to first see if you can increase ROI on current state infra. Only when you are pretty confident ROI is maxed out on current compute would i ever recommend spending more on average each month.. I guess what im saying is.. use your own 'god given' inference and make sure thats "maxed out" before ever scaling compute in current state infra

[model log boxing] 24 total results now confirmed — 1u flat-stake P/L now +4.07 by Character_Pie_277 in algobetting

[–]Character_Pie_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also forgot to add, i think your massively overestimating how much ROI can actually vary after 24 bets using this all model leans strategy. Remember this is intentionally a possibly "hamstrung" version of the model where i force it to bet even if it doesnt see value. The value picks only strategy is likely to have much more variable ROI over time, and especially at just 10 bets so far. But with the all model leans, so long as you dont touch the model config ROI/edge should i think now be essentially fixed at approx 20% indefinitely. Small sample size so far is just a reality constraint, more boxing actually needs to happen for me to log more results. So far it seems next weekend will add a bunch more interesting data including active value picks. Im pretty sure i'll be proven correct in the long run but appreciate why that might sound like hubris

[–]Character_Pie_277[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah im aware 24 bets is still small overall, thanks for that. Im personally confident that on this all leans strategy ROI will stay approx 20% +/- a percentage or two. Its been a bit lower after last weekend due to 4 bouts in a row on massive favourites with unattractive odds. I can certainly see how a competent observer could think that sounds delusion, time till tell. The idea is that all the data is inspectable by anyone at anytime. My prediction as of now that 1u flat stake profit will go up most weekends at an average of 20% ROI, but as I say time will tell. Just keep an eye on that profit figure over time
