    Default Match Preview Content Generation Software - Looking for Beta Testers

    Hey everyone!

    My brother and myself are working on a little side project for the past couple of months. We have noticed that sports betting affiliates using game previews to drive traffic to their sites. While the articles seem to have always kind of the same structure they need to be written manually all the time.

    We are currently working on a tool which generates an article automatically using stats from various stats APIs like Opta and odds from various bookmakers. We are currently working also on a solution that will make every generated article unique so there are no problems with Google.

    We should be able to launch a beta version of the product early next year in January. We are looking now for affiliates who are interested to test the software and who can give us input what features are needed and how we could make the product better.

    We are furthermore also interested about your opinion here if this kind of tool has potential. We are also thinking to building a tool which can generate slot reviews and casino reviews if we see there is a market for it.

    For further questions and beta requests you can also PM me directly.

    Thanks and looking forward to hear from you!

    Do you mean like spinning? unless it's written fresh from head it will never be unique, it would have to be some serious software to get past google's algo nowadays

    The problem is that it won't be an opinion - it will be automated babble generated using a stack of standard phrases.
    It might fool a search engine - but will a human want to read it ? Will they read them once it's obviously Computer Generated?

    if you can use it to automate form guides, winning percentage, previous matches and that sort of thing it could work but no point in spinning the actual meet and bones of the preview

    Thanks guys for all the input so far. The thing is that huge publishers like the New York Times already using such tools mostly for their news regarding stock price changes. So I don't see why small websites can't use such a tool.

    @Wonderpunter
    The tool is not a spinner at all. It takes team and player relevant data from Stats providers like Opta or Stats and uses it to build the content. When I look at the game previews on your website for example. The structure looks like that you have an intro with information who is playing and when the game is played. Then you have a paragraph with stats in previous game info from Team A including maybe a player who is doing well and then you do the same for Team B. And the final part is the pick which will be generated by an algorithm which is using machine learning.

    So I don't see why an automated tool would not be able to write an article like this.

    @TheGooner
    I get your point if people would reading this. But I think we should ask ourselves before what and how are people reading nowadays. With social media the attention span has become so short already so I think people who are reading these previous will not figure out if the content is written by a human or a machine

    For the people who pmed I will get back very soon!
