Using SMT Solvers to Analyze the Premier League Table

Oh I saw this on reddit! This is an awesome way to understand what the SMT solvers are good at and what not to use them for. I&#x27;m a fan of EPL and Man UTD, I&#x27;ve given some thought few times to try figuring out if there would be a away to approach this sort of solution.<p>I wonder if this can be applied to other set of fixtures! For example in the FA cup, more accuracy with winning and lower rate of teams. Or the other leagues like La Liga.

Presumably, due to the complexity of remaining fixtures, goal difference, etc. there are cases in which an outcome becomes certain at an unexpected time. Taking advantage of this would be an excellent way of &#x27;gaming&#x27; the betting exchanges - just hook this simulation into a results api and bet accordingly, as soon as a &#x27;triggering&#x27; result comes in. This is the very point in the season to attempt such a strategy.

I had <i>no</i> clue that Z3 could be used for that..
