I refactored part of the readme to make it easier for new users to understand, install and contribute to the project.

These are the changes I made:

  • Separated the project description into an About section and a Betting Strategy section
  • Added an Installation section for creating an environment and installing packages
  • Separated getting new data and training model's section into two separate headers
  • Added a link to the open-source contributing guidelines for users to follow when contributing

why is xgb model exclusively used over the other ones?


Takes all team data from the 2007-08 season to current season, matched with odds of those games, using a neural network to predict winning bets for today's games.

Achieves ~75% accuracy on money lines and ~58% on under/overs.
