Hi folks,<p>After a couple years of toil and grind I finally managed to build a predictive model for pro tennis. It analyses around 100 data points per player and creates odds &#x2F; probability of winning the match. That model is now winning at a flat rate of 12.5% (over a smallish sample of a few hundred bets, but looks solid).<p>So, after the model was working, I decided to build a website with my friend where other tennis fans can check matchups, see predictions and get a better head to head analysis than anything else that exists out there. (Point: Most other h2h sites show data which is not directly comparable between the two players, where as my site produces relative comparison points).<p>I&#x27;d love for you to check out the site and see what you think. Any feedback, good or bad, is always welcomed! And if you are a tennis fan you can join my whatsapp betting group too.<p>And if you are interested in the business side of things:<p>We are trying to generate revenue three ways: 1) affiliate revenue 2) licensing our data to other sites 3) the betting fund (currently 25k)<p>We&#x27;re also working heavily on SEO optimisation, and building up a community of tennis betting fans.<p>I might also sell tips in the future as there is a big market for that but I&#x27;m currently aiming more high end, e.g. fund investment, high priced tips. Pretty much testing a few things at present and see what might work.<p>Thanks for checking it out.<p>Ross.
