   I've been against the whole blockchain space for some time but I only just realised the one big positive to come from it - a new market. I think that's why it's become so popular, you can actually invest in ideas just as they

   I think the best thing that can come out of this whole crypto/web3 space is a new sort of stock market. I've a startup that I want to open up for micro investors and the best way I can think of doing so is through NFTs/crypto

    Exactly I'm a pro gambler and data scientist and the optimal staking strategy is mostly just stake sizes that are inversely proportional to odds, plus a little increase/decrease relative to perceived value (what the kelly criterio

    Hey HN, I made an algorithm for predicting professional golf for my data science thesis and have been working on it since. The link is to the results of the latest version of the algorithm, you can click on the graphs to see what the foreca

    My golf betting algorithm averages just over 20% BUT It's so consistent that by steadily increasing the stakes to take advantage of compound interest it hits ROIs of over 1000% Check it out: https://www.golfforecast.co.uk&#x
