What Makes WiseStats db Innovative: The Use Case
Reprinted from the Bet Smart Media blog
Yesterday, we talked about the ‘5W’s of WiseStats db‘ to address the who/where/what/when/why/how. Today’s post is an elaboration of the who — as in, who is this product for?
In yesterday’s post, we alluded to the fact that the people that will find WiseStats db most compelling are those that like to bet on sporting events. We’ve talked to countless numbers of sports fans – specifically, those that place bets – and we’ve heard some common themes:
- there is no easy way to see how a team has done in the past under customizable game conditions
- it’s difficult to test different theories against actual results
- for those that like to follow betting “systems”, there is no way to curate a list of specific systems and receive alerts when the systems are “in play”
Why shouldn’t there be an easy way to do all this? Well, it’s a ridiculously difficult technical problem to solve to actually build a system that can do all this. But imagine for a second that somebody could actually figure it out. What would it look like? How would it work? How do you take something so complex and make it easy to use?
Somebody did figure it out, and it looks like this (click to enlarge):
Meet WiseStats db, which makes it easy to see how a team has done under customizable game conditions (what WiseStats db calls “Scenarios”).
It also allows you to test theories that draw on actual historical events that meet the conditions of your theory. Better yet, it provides you with the hard numbers to understand how good your theory is! There. Another problem solved.
And finally, our personal favorite: create a list of your systems by “following” them. WiseStats db will automatically look at every upcoming game to see if any of the scenarios you follow are ‘in play’. When one becomes in play, WiseStats db will send you an email before the game starts, leaving you time to go place your bet on the most profitable ones!
That is the use case for the inaugural version of WiseStats db. It’s for sports bettors that want new and interesting ways to drive confidence with betting decisions. If you’ve read this far, we’re pretty sure that’s you.
