Abstract
Since the 1980s, machine learning has been widely used for horse-racing predictions, gradually expanding to where algorithms are now playing a huge role in the betting market. Machine learning has changed the horse-racing betting market over the last ten years, but main changes are still to come. The paradigm shift of neural networks (deep learning) may not only improve our ability to simply predict the outcome of a race, but it will also certainly shake our entire way of thinking about horse-racing - and maybe more generally about horses. Since 2012, deep learning provided more and more state-of-the-art results in computer vision and now statistical learning or game theory. We describe how the convergence of the three machine learning fields (computer vision, statistical learning, and game theory) will be game-changers in the next decade in our ability to predict and understand…
