WAIGR 101:

Waigr provides everyday horse players with professional grade betting tools through a sophisticated algorithmic data model. For every US and Canadian Thoroughbred race, Waigr’s machine learning models evaluate dozens and dozens of variables (e.g. race records, jockey/trainer combinations, finishing speed) to provide a parimutuel* bettor with the right analytical framework to make optimal wagering decisions.

Waigr is built on the development of Waigr Odds, a proprietary system for putting a win percentage and associated true odds to each horse. The algorithms then compare Waigr Odds with the live odds, applying the results to deeply researched strategies. The result are AI bets that appear on the NYRA Bets App bet pad. These bet tickets give you, the player, real-time guidance so that you may easily identify where value exists across various parimutuel pools. That is the Waigr focus: finding wagering value!

*Parimutuel betting is a pool-based system where players compete against each other rather than the house, meaning your final payout is determined by the collective wagers of the public right up until the horses leave the gate.
