I tried to use NHL box scores to predict NHL outcomes. Seemed like a pretty good opportunity to use machine learning. Ended up only being able to predict at like 54% or something like that which isn't even enough to break even.

What I did find though was that if I looked for games where my estimated accuracy rate was high and the odds were good then I probably could have bet on those games for a profit but they were very rare.
