Model Performance
All AI models, including Claude Keeper, Gemini Thunder, GPT Striker, DeepThinker, and baseline, predicted a 1-0 home win for Fulham. Consequently, every model’s outcome prediction was incorrect, and none managed to predict the exact score. For instance, Gemini Thunder, GPT Striker, and DeepThinker had identified a value pick on a Fulham home win at odds of 2.2, which did not materialize, resulting in a PnL of -1.0 for each. The Brier scores for these models were all around 0.94, indicating a substantial deviation from the actual outcome.
