It's something that everyone hears about now and our best sports betting sites are already using in a variety of ways: artificial intelligence. AI is fast becoming a part of the US sports betting landscape, and more operators are expected to embrace its possibilities in the future. Sites like SportsLine are using AI modeling to provide the most accurate odds and betting predictions possible, allowing AI data models to consider thousands of data points like past player performances, weather, and injuries to make connections between this data and produce the most accurate predictions. These AI models can simulate data conditions thousands of times to give the most likely result.

A new study shows that sports bettors are more likely to binge drink than individuals who are not gambling at all or who are gambling in another way. The study from UNLV and the University of New Mexico included a survey of more than 4,000 people, and found that sports bettors engage in a lot more binge drinking — approximately five drinks per sitting — than their non-sports-betting counterparts, said co-author Shane Kraus, UNLV psychology professor and director of the Behavioral Addictions Lab.
