WNBA Tips Robot Handing the Sportsbooks a Beating

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 4, 2007 -- The WNBA is hotter than ever this Summer and so are gamblers, thanks to a WNBA Robot that has been created and is running up an incredible winning record on the WNBA, at almost a 70 percent winning ratio. The WNBA Robot's picks are made public at http://www.WNBATips.com

The bot owner, Dan Scott, known in the online gambling world as the owner of the Dealer Dan Gaming Network (http://www.dealerdangaming.com) has been surprised at the results so far. "I really didn't expect to be winning so much so soon -- I mean, we're still dealing with a relatively small sample size, but the results thus far have been incredible."

Dan isn't exactly the biggest fan of the WNBA either, admitting, "I could tell you maybe four or five players names. Tops." However Dan, who likes to gamble, was disappointed when the NBA season ended. "Once the Spurs destroyed the Cavs, I was left with nothing to bet on until August, when soccer season started up." Dejected, he decided to look at the online sportsbooks and see what was available to bet on, and he noticed the WNBA starting up.

"I'll be honest -- I had no real interest in betting on the WNBA, as I might as well flip a coin. However I'd always wanted to try and write a program that would help assist me in making picks, so I decided for a summer project to do that with the WNBA. It'd take a lot of statistics, and use them to output results. Really, it was nothing but a bit of fun."

A bit of fun, that would end up making this young entrepreneur rich. "The first incarnation of the bot, which ran until the end of July, was picking every game. And it managed to get 58.3 percent of the picks correct, which was an excellent result based on the amount of games it had to pick."

So Dan started programming more and more, and came up with a more detailed analysis system that would help him make picks. There would be less picks, but they would be a lot better. And how exactly is the second version doing so far? "Just incredible. The program has made 32 predictions. Of those, it got 22 correct. That's almost a 70 percent winning record, which is unheard of. I'm not hanging out on cloud nine yet or anything, but everything looks like it's on the right track, so I'm gearing up for a successful season."

Dan has been making his robots tips and picks public both on his WNBA website,and on various internet forums, and the results have surprised him. "When I run the robot to make picks, I have to make sure I put my money on before I make them public, because when I do, there's so much action on them that the spread will always move against us. For example, on July 31st I predicted Los Angeles +6. Within five hours, the line was down to +4. This has been happening more and more lately, and is quite scary really. I can't believe my little robot is able to affect those lines!"

When Dan isn't betting on the WNBA, he's a successful gambling affiliate, and also shares his secrets free of charge at http://www.PokerAffiliateBible.com but why exactly does he give his WNBA tips out for free?

"I don't see the point of ever charging money for these picks. If I believe in them, then I will bet on them, and make my money there. I think anyone who charges money for tips is just someone who isn't confident enough in the picks themselves. And I find that quite sad to be honest.
