Abstract:
The world of sports betting has seen exponential growth in active accounts, especially among online bettors, thanks to the facilities offered by new technologies to bet at any time and in almost any sport and betting market. In this context, the figure of tipsters, expert forecasters with a proven track record of statistics and metrics stored on tipster communities, has gained great relevance. The profitability demonstrated by these tipsters has led to a new concept in which sports betting can be considered an investment rather than just entertainment. Given this investment approach, diversification is presented as a recommended practice. Therefore, an innovative tool has been developed that allows users to create a portfolio of tipsters based on their individual preferences, such as the number of daily bets, the sports on which they bet, and the desired level of risk. This tool selects the recommended tipsters for the user and offers an in-depth analysis of the portfolio created through an interactive dashboard. This dashboard comprises multiple graphs and metrics divided into various sections, which facilitates a comprehensive and visual understanding of the profitability and performance of the portfolio. In summary, the objective of this project has been to develop a tool that turns sports betting into a structured investment activity, allowing users to manage and optimize their bets through the creation and detailed analysis of a customized portfolio of tipsters
