Hermes Frequently Asked Questions

๐Ÿ“Œ What about non-public features?

Similar to ChatGPT, Hermes can respond to a wide range of wagering queries.

โœ… Example Requests Hermes Can Handle:

  • Parlay Construction โ€“ Ask Hermes to create a three-leg parlay, and it will analyze scores, data, and other factors to select the optimal wagers.
  • Teasers โ€“ Hermes can generate a two-leg, 6-point teaser, factoring in how sides and totals perform in teaser scenarios.
  • Bankroll Management โ€“ Ask Hermes how much a wager is worth in terms of risk percentage and bankroll impact.
  • Any Betting-Related Question โ€“ Hermes is designed to be the ultimate gambling tool, with analysis limited only by imagination.

๐Ÿ“Œ When will subscribers have direct access to Hermes?

The long-term goal is to provide direct, ChatGPT-style access to Hermes for subscribers.

๐Ÿ’ก Why isnโ€™t it available yet?

  • Security & Processing Challenges โ€“ Large-scale access requires significant investment in processing capacity and security measures.
  • High Operational Costs โ€“ Running Hermes for a wide audience carries substantial costs.
  • Step-by-Step Approach โ€“ The initial phase will likely involve subscribers submitting queries, which The Sharp Plays will run privately and publish publicly or within TSP Live.

๐Ÿ“Œ Why does Hermes only release a handful of selections?

Some days, Hermes might release only one selectionโ€”or none at all, even when hundreds of games and thousands of betting options are available. Why?

๐Ÿ”Ž The Key: Confidence Variable
Hermes calculates a “confidence variable”, which assesses the likelihood that a wagerโ€™s score drops significantlyโ€”especially below the key threshold of 30 (only 30+ selections are logged).

๐Ÿ“Š How It Works:

  • Low or Medium Confidence = High risk of a major score drop โ†’ NO selection alert issued
  • High Confidence = Low risk of score dropping below 30 โ†’ Official Hermes selection alert issued

๐Ÿ’ก Example Scenario:

  • Notre Dame +18 has a Hermes score of 51, but its confidence variable is low.
  • If the score drops below 30 before game time, it would no longer be an official Hermes selection.
  • Without filtering by confidence, Hermes could easily generate 15-200+ selections per dayโ€”but filtering ensures only 1-10 (and typically 1-3) high-quality selections make the cut.

๐Ÿ“Œ Bottom Line: The fewer selections, the higher the return on risk and bankroll gain over time!


๐Ÿ“Œ What Hermes content will be logged?

Tracking every query and its outcome would be impossible due to the massive volume of Hermes content.
