Here he tells you how he combines his unique set of skills in the hunt for an edge in sports betting.<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n                      <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl lg:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">DATA MODELLING<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"mb-2.5 md:mb-3 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>Darryl is the co-founder and Chief Technical Officer with Cipher Sports Technology Group and has been building predictive models for nearly 20 years. His journey began in the UK, with studies in engineering and game design, including a masters thesis with the University of Copenhagan on the agency of avatars in virtual environments. From there he was a research fellow at Queensland University of Tech where his focus was finding ways to measure and evaluate audience engagement using social media.<\/p>\n<p>But sport was always calling\u2026 \u201cI played a lot of Poker in the UK during the poker boom,\u201d Woodford said. \u201cBut that got harder so I moved into sports betting where I was a pre-game and in-play punter for a number of years. But that got harder so I started building models instead,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Through the use of \u2018Machine Learning\u2019 Woodford and Cipher Sports created Fantasy Insider. \u201cWe founded Fantasy Insider, projecting how individual players would perform through things like Draft Stars etc. From there we moved off that into sports betting,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We basically took what was a rating for how each player would perform and extrapolated that into a team model, running simulations. If you swap out someone like Lance Franklin and put in a different player, how much impact would that have on Sydney for example,\u201d Woodford explained.<\/p>\n<p>Darryl Woodford is always learning, and the depth of modelling continues to develop. \u201cWhen we started off we did the player\u2019s predictions and tried to extrapolate those.<br \/>\nWe\u2019ve got more sophisticated with sometimes 150-200 features in those models,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve also expanded into more simulation models. For cricket and tennis we do ball-by-ball and point-by-point, which makes sense given the complexities. We currently do 20-25 thousand events a year, and are branching into fighting sports at the moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n                      <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl lg:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">WHEN TO BET AND WHAT IS AN EDGE?<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"mb-2.5 md:mb-3 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>Woodford speaks about the growing challenge of finding edges in sports markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetting markets are becoming more efficient. You are seeing advancements in AI and in data analytics. So edges are harder to find, but you can still find advantages,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe US have legalised sports betting which creates new efficiencies. People start betting on sports they don\u2019t know about, or on their home state out of partisanship and that can skew the odds,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can look at models on sports that don\u2019t get huge attention, like the NBL for example. If playing bigger markets like NFL or NBA I\u2019d look at smaller markets like points, rebounds, assists, first quarter betting for example where edges might pop up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n                      <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl lg:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">HOW TO BUILD A MODEL <\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"mb-2.5 md:mb-3 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>As Woodford points out, not all sports are the same. The key is identifying what the most relevant data is to a result in that particular sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt varies by sport. Team stats in some sports can tell you most of what you need to know. In some sports, individual data combined to run simulations can be better. Once you get the prediction out, you either trust your model or you don\u2019t. If you start second guessing when to bet, you will get into difficulties. Do you trust your process? That is the underlying question,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the feature engineering process that\u2019s when the human judgement comes in. What are the key features you want to focus on? And have you got the right ones? If the answer is yes you should trust your model\u201d<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n                      <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl lg:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">HOW TO GET DATA<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"mb-2.5 md:mb-3 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>Australia is proving a more difficult source for data gathering, with companies like champion data monopolising some of the key areas. Woodford explains how to source the relevant information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can buy historical odds data, but you can also scrape a lot of it. If it\u2019s a hobby project you can look at some websites that give you good free data. NBA.Com or basketball reference for example,&#8221; Woodford said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For prop betting they can be quite effective. AFL Tables isn\u2019t too bad either for information on a basic level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                <div class=\"expert-tips__row block\">\n      <div class=\"container reduced-width relative py-6 md:pt-4\">\n        <div class=\"expert-tips__wrap pb-6 lg:pb-12\">\n                      <h2 class=\"font-bold font-montserrat text-xl lg:text-[26px] text-bf-yellow text-center md:text-left mb-4 uppercase\">RISKS<\/h2>\n                              <div class=\"mb-2.5 md:mb-3 text-sm md:text-base\">\n            <p>Every aspect of the game comes with risks, and Woodford explains the necessity to be able to trust your data source.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where are they getting their information and are they reliable?&#8221; he asks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the early 2000s, The models weren\u2019t that sophisticated so you could find edges. Someone was using a model for Wimbledon and CBS had the rights but were showing matches on a 2-3 hour delay and they lined up the website scores with what they were showing on tv, not what was live. As the match went on, the odds started making no sense. It shows you have to know where your data is coming from and what they are doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few other points to be cautious of are is the edge too big? If it is you may have missed something in your model. Also has the market overacted to a player going out? Which creates a bigger edge,\u201d Woodford explains.<\/p>\n\n          <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n                      <div class=\"educational-snippet block\">\n    <div class=\"container reduced-width\">\n\n        <div class=\"educational-snippet__wrap py-4\">\n            <div class=\"educational-snippet__header cursor-pointer transition flex p-4 lg:p-6 items-center border-b-2 border-bf-yellow bg-bf-black flex justify-between\">\n                <h3 class=\"font-montserrat font-bold text-bf-yellow text-xl select-none pointer-events-none\">Why bet with Betfair?<\/h3>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfair.com.au\/hub\/wp-content\/themes\/betfair-hub\/public\/icons\/arrow-down-yellow.svg\" alt=\"Expand\" class=\"chevron transition-transform duration-200 ease-in-out\" \/>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"educational-snippet__content overflow-hidden max-h-0\">\n                <div class=\"p-6 flex flex-col lg:flex-row border-2 border-bf-grey-80\">\n                  <div class=\"educational-snippet__content-wrap order-2 lg:order-1 lg:w-2\/3 flex flex-col\">\n                      <p>Betfair is a peer to peer exchange that lets you bet against other punters.
