AI only provides statistics and analysis in previous matches, it does not mean that it will win in betting, it's just that many people are too easy to say AI can predict the match and then he makes a bet following its direction.
Yeah, AI is often used to look at team statistics for analysis needs but you can't fully trust what AI recommends for betting.
In betting there is no long term, so what AI says will not always be correct.
You say this as if statistics and analysis are not enough to make predictions. AI can evaluate statistics by thousands of parameters (which no human will ever be able to do) and this is enough to be more accurate than ordinary people. The problem is that, firstly, bookmakers have more advanced AI and data sets on their side, and secondly, the bookmaker simply has an advantage in terms of game design. But this does not cancel out the fact that AI can make high-quality predictions in sports events.
