I like the design. Minor grammar quibbles. Some of these tag lines read kind of oddly: >You have 30 days free trial I'm not sure if this is specific to American English (I notice you're based in Milan), but generally the days are singul

Because complex algorithms can reveal information that isn't immediately obvious from basic stats, let alone "gut feelings" that you get from merely watching a game. This type of thinking is what leads to disparities between who the best pl
