I bet on the Premier League using AI. Here’s how much I made August 19, 2025 Last week City AM revealed that two thirds of Fantasy Premier League players would use AI to help pick their points-based teams throughout the season. And it got us thinking; how accurate could AI be in predicting the outcome of Premier League football matches? So in that spirit, hard earned cash was siphoned off this [...]
US Open Mixed Doubles Championship a smart revenue extractor August 19, 2025 The US Open Mixed Doubles Championship gets underway today but it has been controversial.
