Thoughts about AI in Betting and how to get the most out of it
February 13th, 2026 at 06:16am
I was in Temora earlier this week and as often happens when I have some time away, I had some time to do some thinking. This particular topic is one I’ve been thinking about for a while, but I had some time to really pull my thoughts together while I was away.
In today’s video I discuss how my thought process has shifted from “AI sceptic” to “AI pragmatist” and how a book called AI Betting Edge helped to reframe the way I think about AI’s role in betting. I also give some thoughts on how I now approach the use of AI in betting and how I thinks approaching it with the right mindset can make it a useful and powerful tool for every bettor.
Plus some thoughts on local milk…

Hi Samuel;Thanks for the video.I follow a guy from the UK called Malcolm Pett who is constantly researching AI for use in football and racing [his websites are GreyHorse Bot and Cashout Trading] and while I regard it as almost another form of ratings there are those convinced AI is the answer to “betting riches”. Of course the odds will always be tilted in the bookies favour making Money Management and Discipline the punters main weapons. Cheers Doug

Hi Doug,
Yes I agree entirely. AI is just one tool available and definitely not a magic bullet. It can perform some very impressive analysis and be a great time-saver in sorting through volumes of information, but it is also important to be aware of its limits.
I suppose if sport was played by robots in a perfectly sealed and sanitised environment, AI might be able to perfectly predict it. But the fact sport is played by living people and animals in variable conditions makes it much less predictable then people might think, and data can only tell you so much of the story.
So I agree, data and analysis is good to have, but money management and discipline are much more important.
