Betting strategy: Follow most trustworthy users.

[15sawyer]

I was thinking about the possibility to place a bet that follows the most trustworthy users. What do I mean? In Twitch chat, you can see what other users voted. Some users are better at betting than others (assuming we don't deal with a 100% randomized subject). This is why it would be great to analyze what users bet and weigh them, according to their success rate. This weight could then be used to make a more accurate betting strategy.

Requirements:

• A way to extract the chosen option per user/chat message.
• A lightweight DB to save the past data.

I would create a PR myself, but since I have no experience with twitch bots, I wanted to ask if this is feasible first. Especially the part where we extract the chosen option from the chat messages.

Edit: I created a chatbot and checked the available parameters. It gives something like: "badge-info":{"predictions":"Prediction1"}. So this should absolutely be possible.

But how do you know this user is best? Collect data for each user in chat? I think this is out of scope from this project. I can tell you that top points gainers is top because they bet many points and/or they bet frequently. So more successful and less frequent betters have big gains but not enough to overcome frequent betters.

This would be great! Please do it.
