SPXS latest version is a web based system, which includes a social network where users can login and gain access to the database and use special features of the system, such as improved search engine and access to prediction algorithms. The system enables a user to track their predicted results and compare against the system experts (AI prediction algorithms) and other users (humans).



One of the system main features is the way the results are presented, modeled as a combination of binary-ternary variables, similar to DNA tables. So, the results are easier to analyze from a human perspective.

The system is able to compute regressions and plot the results in interesting visualization, for example the teams winning percentages in the analyzed NBA seasons (1990-1991 to 2016-2017).

One of the goals of Artificial Intelligence is to develop systems which exhibit ‘intelligent’ human-like behavior. Initial attempts in the field (in the 1960s) like the General Problem Solver created by Allen Newell and Herbert Simon from Carnegie Mellon University, were to create a general purpose intelligent systems which could handle tasks in a variety of domains. However, researchers soon realized that developing such general purpose systems was too difficult and it was better to focus on systems for limited domains. Edward Feigenbaum from Stanford University then proposed the notion of expert systems. Expert systems are systems which encode human expertise in limited domains and can represent this human knowledge using If-then rules.

In this context, let's define what is an eXpert System. An eXpert System is a computer program that contains the knowledge and analytical skills of one or more human experts, related to a specific subject.

In the SPXS system, the knowledge is a database with the results of all the NBA games since 1990, this database includes the betting lines, over/under, scores, difference of lines, point spread, totals, etc., all possible information obtainable from a game match. The complete version of SPXS system includes all major American sports. However, only the Basketball NBA is available online.

Main features of Sports Picks eXpert System:

The use of DNA X-tatistics, this is a new an easy way to look at the sports odds/sports betting results.
With DNA X-tatistics it is possible to track easily the variables of interest from a specific search or from a team(s) table.

More features of Sports Picks eXpert System:

Search (Date, Teams, Specific)	Perform searches by team, by date, or by any of the possible variables (betting lines, over/under, scores, difference of lines, ATS, totals).
Standing (Teams)	Obtain detailed standing information, Overall / HOME /AWAY, with sortable fields.
Stats (Teams)	Obtain basic and detailed stats information, with sortable fields.
DNA X-tatistics (Teams)	Obtain detailed standing information, with the last 10 games Overall / HOME /AWAY, with sortable fields.
PREDICT (Games)	Predict a result for a specific game, with different prediction algorithms.
Odds algorithm	Odds algorithm explanation and example.
