My agent makes my office football pool picks every week

Commenting on the Top 20 post, he says he is in an office football pool where you rank games by how sure you are of the outcome, and he kept forgetting his picks and found it a chore. He gave the AI his login and they worked out rules together: The AI makes his picks each week based on Vegas point spreads and analyst information. The pool site has an awkward interface, and he says the AI handled it well.

How it works

  1. He gives the AI his pool login and they agree the rules
  2. Each week the AI reads Vegas spreads and analyst information
  3. Ranks the games by confidence
  4. Enters his picks on the pool site

Why it’s worth knowing

A confidence pool needs ranked picks, not just winners, and the agent enters them on a clumsy site every week without being reminded.
