Over eight years ago, I built a custom sport prediction engine in Python using basic and advanced probability mathematics to calculate team power dynamics and scoring metrics. The project generated significant revenue before my primary data source went offline. Late last year, armed with four new reliable data streams and years of additional software engineering experience, I decided to rebuild the system from scratch. Coming back to the codebase after nearly a decade presented a major challenge: the Python ecosystem, syntax, and libraries had evolved dramatically. Migrating legacy code directly was no longer viable. Leveraging modern LLMs (including Kimi, Gemini, and DeepSeek), I rapidly ported and updated the architecture to modern Python standards over a two-month period. Key Architecture & Insights: Core Math Engine: The baseline calculations for team power, expected goals, and match probability remain hand-coded using custom mathematical and statistical models. AI Pattern Recognition: Where traditional statistical modeling reaches its limits on edge cases, AI models excel at recognizing subtle underlying patterns. Model Strengths: DeepSeek: Outstanding performance in evaluating complex pattern matches and multi-game selections. Gemini: Exceptional visual data analysis and user-interface breakdown. Value Odds Calculation: Automated odds evaluation to pinpoint mispriced value bets across markets. Modern AI tooling turned an intense migration project into a seamless refactoring process.
