Sport Predictor AUS was founded due to a passion of watching and tipping sport for many years, as well as an interest in mathematics, statistics, programming and in particular, machine learning (a form of artificial intelligence).

The predictions are made using machine learning algorithms. "Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it learn for themselves." [ExpertSystem]. In terms of making predictions in sport, the results of many past matches are used to make the predictions in upcoming matches.
