An Experimental Wager On Today's Premier League Games

I have placed an experimental wager on today's trio of Premier League games.

You'll soon realise exactly why I used the term 'experimental'.

Instead of going with my gut instinct, or proper research for that matter, I asked three AI assistants for their predicted scores. I then compared and contrasted the results in order to decide what to bet on.

AI predictions for Brighton .vs Aston Villa

Microsoft Copilot has forecasted a score 2-1 to Villa for their trip to the seaside. However, both ChatGPT and Grok are calling for a 1-1 draw.

My pick: Both Teams to Score

AI Predictions for Manchester City .vs. Bournemouth

All three AI services are predicting a victory for The Citizens. Copilot has the home side winning 3-0 while the other two expect the visitors to get at least one goal with ChatGPT guessing a scoreline of 3-1 and Grok going 2-1.

My pick: Over 2.5 Goals

AI Predictions for Newcastle .vs. Liverpool

2-1 to Liverpool was the consensus score selected by all three programs with Copilot offering that 'Liverpool have the higher win probability (50.3% vs Newcastle's 25.3%). Newcastle at home will make it competitive, but Liverpool's attacking depth should edge it.'

My pick: Liverpool 2-1 Correct Score

How I'm Betting

I've placed the three selections in a Patent bet. This way, I get to have three singles, three doubles and one treble.

How It Went

Rubbish.

The only winner, of the three, came in Manchester City's 2-1 winner over Bournemouth. The game needed an injury time goal, for the home team, to send the score Over 2.5.

Brighton shutout Villa 4-0, ruining the both teams to score bet while Newcastle and Liverpool drew 2-2. The latter didn't come close to being a 2-1 away winner for the Reds. Newcastle went 1-0 up, then Liverpool equalised. The home team made it 2-1 up before their guests tied things up with a late penalty.
