Workflow: Sport Predictions Stats for upcoming Events By: BlockShield Systems
1. Overview
An AI-powered sports intelligence system that automatically discovers upcoming events across 8 sports, researches historical and real-time data, generates mathematically rigorous 3-layer predictions, and delivers results via 4 communication channels.
Core Pipeline:
- Event Discovery
- Parsing and Filtering
- Parallel Research (Stats and News)
- Data Fusion
- 3-Layer AI Prediction
- Multi-Channel Delivery (Email, Telegram, Notion, Archive)
Schedule (UTC): 0 1,7,13,19 * * * (01:00, 07:00, 13:00, 19:00 daily, each scanning an 8-hour event window).
2. Sports Covered
| Sport | Source | Leagues / Scope |
|---|---|---|
| โฝ Football | FlashScore | UCL, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 |
| ๐ Basketball | FlashScore | NBA, Euroleague, Eurocup |
| ๐พ Tennis | FlashScore | ATP/WTA main draws |
| ๐คพ Handball | FlashScore | EHF Champions League |
| ๐ Ice Hockey | FlashScore | NHL, KHL, DEL, SHL |
| ๐ Volleyball | FlashScore | CEV Champions League |
| ๐ฎ eSports | Web Search | CS2, League of Legends (HLTV, LoL eSports) |
| ๐ฅ Boxing/MMA | Web Search | Major boxing fights, UFC events |
3. Architecture Phase 1: Event Discovery and Parsing
- Event Discovery Agent: An input-mode AI agent browses for sports and web-searches for eSports and Boxing.
- Event Parser and Filter: A code node enforces strict rules, requiring specific keywords, an ISO datetime, an 8-hour time window, filtering junk entries, and capping at 20 events. It extracts the sport, league, datetime, teams, venue, and importance.
4. Architecture Phase 2: Parallel Research
Both agents run in item mode with error continuation enabled so individual failures do not crash the pipeline.
- Historical Stats Agent: Performs two searches per match for head-to-head results and standings/form. Outputs head-to-head summaries, recent form, sport-specific KPIs, and standings.
- Injury and News Agent: Performs two searches per match for injuries, lineups, predictions, and odds. Outputs injury reports, expert sentiment, and external factors.
- Merge, Clean, and Deduplicate: Combines branches per match, normalizes team names, applies freshness scoring, and deduplicates into unified match objects.
5. Architecture Phase 3: Prediction Engine
An item-mode AI agent performs pure mathematical reasoning on pre-researched data without using external tools. It outputs structured JSON per match. A cleanup code node then strips verbose reasoning fields before delivery to minimize payload size.
6. Architecture Phase 4: Multi-Channel Output
| Channel | Format | Details |
|---|---|---|
| ๐ง Outlook Email | HTML | Navy design, probability bars, match cards, Outlook-compatible |
| ๐ฑ Telegram | HTML | Condensed alert, top picks, 3-layer scores, max 4096 characters |
| ๐ Notion | Rich text | One page per run |
| ๐ Archive Collection | Markdown | Archived with labels for long-term retrieval |
7. 3-Layer Prediction Methodology
Each match is independently analyzed through three layers, scoring between 0.00 and 1.00. Probabilities sum to exactly 100%.
- Layer 1 Bayesian Analysis: Prior probability from head-to-head and team strength, adjusted by recent form and home/away multiplier.
- Layer 2 ML Feature Weighting: Weighted sum of seven features including recent form, injury impact, and expert consensus.
- Layer 3 Historical Pattern Matching: Cross-validates against historically similar scenarios to detect anomalies.
8. Interpretation of Scores
| Score | Meaning | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| 0.90 to 1.00 ๐ข | Very strong, high data consistency | High (all 3 layers agree) |
| 0.75 to 0.89 ๐ก | Solid, moderate uncertainty | Medium (2 of 3 agree) |
| 0.60 to 0.74 ๐ | Weak, conflicting signals | Low (layers conflict) |
| Below 0.60 ๐ด | Unreliable, insufficient data | Low (data severely limited) |
9. Connectors and Configuration
| Task | AI Mode | Temperature |
|---|---|---|
| Event Discovery | Input | 0.0 |
| Historical Stats | Item | 0.0 |
| Injury and News | Item | 0.0 |
| Prediction Engine | Item | 0.1 |
| HTML Email Agent | Input | 0.2 |
Connectors Used:
- Microsoft Outlook (OAuth 2.0)
- Telegram Bot API (API token)
- Notion MCP (OAuth 2.0)
10. Key Architecture Decisions
- Template Injected Prompts: The HTML Email Agent uses template syntax to inject actual match data directly into the prompt, preventing AI hallucination.
- Expression Based Notion Pages: Uses expression mode for deterministic page creation.
- No Tool Prediction: The Prediction Engine has zero tools, forcing pure mathematical reasoning on pre-researched data only.
- Meta Cleanup: Strips verbose reasoning fields before output channels.
- Parallel Research: Both research agents continue processing remaining matches even if individual calls fail.
11. Known Limitations
- Dynamic Rendering: Some pages require browser mode and may not fully load. Mitigated by web search fallback.
- Telegram Limits: Large reports get truncated at 4096 characters. Auto-truncation appends a note to check the email.
- Research Data Gaps: Lower-tier leagues often lack head-to-head data. Handled via freshness scoring.
- eSports Parsing: Events do not always follow standard naming formats; unparseable entries are filtered out.
- No Error Monitoring Pipeline: Relies on continuation flags rather than a dedicated error-alert system.
12. Roadmap
- Error monitoring pipeline
- Google Sheets logging for prediction audit trails
- Post-match result verification for accuracy measurement
- Collection hygiene (auto-delete reports older than 30 days)
- Multi-message Telegram support for large reports
