As fantasy sports grow, the amount of content...

As fantasy sports grow, the amount of content being created that can be used to understand the overall wisdom of the crowd is astounding. This is what Sentitrac is all about: really nailing the measurement of the crowd's sentiment because when we do, we can use that for a whole host of other purposes. " "" "The thesis I published almost 2 years ago (wow, time flies!) showed how sentiment could be used to increase projection accuracy. Beyond that, though, we can use sentiment as a feature in sports betting models of many different kinds, and we can use sentiment to provide recommendations to fantasy players' questions. " "" "Not only is sentiment interesting to observe but it can be used in all these ways to benefit fantasy sports players. The more tools available, the more sophisticated the game becomes, and in my view, the more interesting it gets! I'm just getting started building all of this out, and I'm currently working on some big updates for Sentitrac, which I hope to share more about very soon!
