the problem is they didn't used enought feature factors or the relevant ones (like detailed statgistics for every player, for that player with coop with another player). i didn't read the stuff but i am sure they used only few factors mostly historic data the detailed forcast would cost too much money (but they invest them into stock forecast)
also it's good for his CV
maybe, maybe not but if so joing a open source project as a contrib. could exponentialy boost his knowledge in the area and skills (my expirience)
why waste time to teach student how a unix clone works instand of the most used one for personal computers - windows ?
