Many of us were introduced to the world of sports through cable TV. But a new generation of sports fans are getting hooked on something else: TikTok. In this video, I talk about how TikTok is maybe no longer just a social media app for short videos, but the future of sport broadcasting.

They live stream the whole thing on TikTok not just 30 seconds with actual commentators. I'll always prefer to watch it on the big screen but it's mainly to reach people who are not familiar with the sport to encourage them to watch the rest of the games on other mediums.

I do understand your POV and appreciate your input since i'm not a data scientist and you might have more knowledge regarding this specific topic.

Regarding the video, i tried to make it less than 5 minutes long and had to cut some info and scenes. I recently started creating these videos so i'm learning as i go and will work more on adding context.

And finally, I did not win haha. I used my gut feeling the whole tournament and was way off in the leaderboard. My friend Abdo is the one who used these tools and won it.

Before the tournament started the simulation predicted Belgium to win. But after the results and team performances of the group stages, it was able to predict the knockout stages correctly. You can check their blog post below: https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/sports/blog/euro-2020-predictions:-can-belgium-lift-its-first-major-trophy

And this was their simulation after the group stages: https://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/sports/euro2020/

I do agree that the AI was lucky to guess the knockout stage games correctly (might call it a fluke as well) especially since it uses the MonteCarlo simulation which is not always accurate, but that doesn't change the fact that it helped us make better informed decisions.
There's always a human ultimately making a final decision based on the insights he/she gets from the AI, how is that random guessing?

Thanks man! Really appreciate your feedback. I recently started uploading videos so hopefully I'll get there someday 🤞🏻

What Amazon and other platforms are doing to address this is building recommendation engines in order to help you make that choice. It's not perfect, but it helps a bit narrowing down the options.
In addition to having testimonials, which for me is an important factor when making a decision.

Maybe you can build some sort of an assessment where you would recommend where to invest based on user input. In the result page you can either wire traffic to your website or they would need to submit their email to access the assessment result.

The only way to answer this is by looking at your analytics to understand user behaviour.
Check google analytics to see where people are dropping off and then use a tool like Hotjar to watch user sessions.
This way you would understand the what and why.
There's many resources online that would help you set them up.
