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.
AI can give all the statistics and analysis you want about a particular team and also give you the possible outcome of the game based on the statistics it has put together about that particular game. It is now in your own senses that you’ll then determine if the statistics will correlate with the most recent pre-analyst situation about the match which AI cannot access to immediately or throughout the match, this things can change the outcome of a game and AI that you’ve entrusted your bet into may fail you if such happens.
AI can give such a good statistics but for the fact that the outcome of a football match is not even certain my humans and still make mistakes with all the analysis they’re informed about, I don’t see the reason why AI will be more dependent on in such situation than human. If I happen to request for an AI help while booking a game, I would only use its advise as a guiding factor to which team to bet on but won’t just go with its answers easily especially if they’re not convincing enough in their predictions.
