SAN DIEGO, Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fantasy Sports Co., a Carlsbad-based developer of several popular mobile gaming applications, has secured an agreement with Equibase to exponentially increase the real time data used by the Company's new horse racing app, TrackWiz. The easy to use, mobile app sifts through millions of data points to simplify informed betting decisions, delivering a fundamental value proposition to the business of horse racing and gambling. While professionals use the app for its comprehensive coverage and massive data availability at their fingertips, engaging the casual horse racing fan has been a challenge that consistently plagues the industry. TrackWiz addresses this knowledge gap by making race horse competition fun and easy to understand, transforming newcomers into experts by the act of simply downloading the app on their smartphone.
The data teaming arrangement is consistent with CEO Erik Groset's plans to continue to improve the successful betting app that is becoming a necessary companion for all fans of horse racing. "We have a carefully developed strategy to continue to create more value for our current and future fan base and our use of Equibase data means that the app just got a lot more powerful as a one-stop shop for horse racing fans intent on winning bets using additional insight from the industry's official database for racing information and statistics." Said Groset. He continued, "The inclusion of Equibase's data means our app continues to strengthen its platform with even more information to maximize cognitive computing with the added benefit of even more, up-to-the-second information."
TrackWiz aims to become an information resource that will disrupt traditional horse racing industry betting practices while introducing millions of new, younger fans to the sport using a mobile platform. The new data provided by Equibase for TrackWiz includes high level analytics for individual horses, jockeys, trainers, facilities, past performances and more. TrackWiz's horse racing app will integrate the new date into their up-to-the-second Racetelligence information that provides live odds, easy to understand past performances, connections, experts + algorithm picks backed by a SmartBet dutching calculator that helps spread risk across multiple horses easily, for a more likely outcome.
TrackWiz uses machine learning and A.I. algorithms to examine data-points per individual horse, which has increased dramatically by including information from Equibase. The easy to understand results in the form of TrackWiz Ratings creates up-to-the-second Racetelligence with emojis to tell a story for each individual horse. Previously, horse track bettors had three choices: buy a tip sheet, buy a book to learn racing data, or pick from the gut. Now, they have a fourth choice, TrackWiz, which makes the data behind horse racing extremely easy to understand. With a single tap, anyone can have consensus picks for big horse races nationwide. "With TrackWiz, we set out to bring horse racing to a new generation of fans and make it fun. So we're constantly adding more robust tools and improving existing algorithms --- this new Equibase data is a game changer," said Mr. Groset.
