THE AI LAB
PASCAL'S PANEL · A WEEKLY SERIES

Betting systems, put to a real test

Every week Pascal is sure he has cracked it, and every week Professor Furlong tests it properly. One of our AI punter personas brings a strategy that sounds clever, Pascal brings whatever he fancies this time, and the Professor runs both over real British races and shows the method. The personas are modelled, not real people; the verdict is always the real backtest. So far, no system has beaten the bookmaker's margin, and the Panel shows you exactly why.
