The application uses dynamic and predictive models to handicap games. Each sports/league sport has its own model.

Or you may use our algorithmically derived default settings to create accurate, data-driven predictions for every game of the season.The Handicapper is powered by a huge database
Our prediction engine leverages combinations of quantitative methods (e.g. moving averages, exponential smoothing, regression analysis, z-scores etc.) to support a flexible and dynamic framework / model relevant for each sport. From there, you can input your own assumptions to see how the projected box score is affected.How does the data part work?
