What PredictionMachine.com does

PredictionMachine.com (doing business as Prediction Machine) was a Las Vegas-based sports handicapping service founded in 2009. The company operated a proprietary supercomputer that ran 50,000 simulations per game to generate picks, predictions, and player projections across all major sports. Its target users were individual sports bettors seeking data-driven handicapping recommendations, accessed via a subscription model distributed through organic social channels (Twitter @PM_BestBets and Instagram @pm_bestbets).

The service has been discontinued. In 2024, the company ceased operating its simulation engine and posted a notice on its website informing subscribers that the supercomputer was no longer processing picks. As part of a transitional arrangement announced the same year, Prediction Machine experts began collaborating with Odds Shark to help optimize Odds Shark's computer model using PM's proprietary data points and decades of handicapping experience. This effectively transfers the company's core intellectual assets to Odds Shark rather than representing ongoing independent operations.

The company operated with 1-10 employees, was privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, and had no parent company, mobile app, or public API. No management team, ownership structure, pricing tiers, subscriber counts, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available source material.
