Siri Assistant for iPhone & iPad Siri is a Web app available on all Apple gadgets running iOS. The group that developed Siri calls the software a “knowledge navigator,” built on a simple language platform that allows users to ask questions and perform certain activities remotely, at the push of a button or (as part of iOS 8) a voice command. Acquired by Apple and incorporated into iOS in the middle of 2010, Siri is a major selling point for iOS devices, featured in commercials and pop culture as a kind of personal assistant, answering questions on everything from today’s weather to upcoming calendar events.
The latest version of Siri is also able to answer questions and provide information related to sports betting. Fans of sports betting can now use Siri to find out details related to American football, US league soccer, MLB baseball, NBA basketball, NHL scores and stats, and even straight-up betting advice.
One of the many features useful for sports bettors incorporated into Siri in the past few years is good old statistical data. As long as a user asks Siri a statistical question related to one of the above sports, the program can find the answer.
For example, if a user wanted to know what the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Josh Harrison’s batting average is on a given day, the user can ask Siri in plain language: “What is Josh Harrison’s batting average?” Siri will respond: “Josh Harrison has a batting average of .318,” and then display an infographic on the player, including his number, position, team, recent major stats, and even a photo in uniform. Injury reports are also a simple question away.
Head-to-head player comparisons are easy with Siri; a user who asks: “Who is the best quarterback in the NFL?” will be given a simple one-line answer (“Peyton Manning leads the NFL in quarterback rating this season.”) along with a list of all NFL QB’s and their respective overall ratings.
Those are just two examples of the wide range of questions the program can research and answer for users faster than they can search for it on their own, and totally hands-free. Getting away from statistical information and deeper into Siri’s sports betting abilities, users can ask direct questions about the odds for upcoming games and expect solid answers.
For example, a user could ask: “Are the Dallas Cowboys going to win tomorrow?” Siri’s response is simple – “The Cowboys play the Rams tomorrow at 12 PM. Those in the know say that the Cowboys will defeat the Rams by one point.” The infographic that appears after this type of question shows the teams playing (along with their overall record) as well as the time of the game, the network it will appear on, and the source of the information. Users can take this tip further, asking about the over/under for the Cowboys game, and Siri will respond in kind.
The benefit of using Siri as part of a handicapping strategy should be clear – by pressing a button (or issuing a voice command on some versions of the software), users can access statistics, comparisons, and betting advice. It makes wagering via mobile even more convenient.
Here is a video demonstration of Siri answering questions on players stats, team rosters, schedules and scores.
