Quantitative Sports Betting Internship — World Cup 2026 and Royal Ascot (Four Weeks)
We are building an AI driven model that prices sports betting markets and finds where the market is wrong, and we are offering a four week internship to work on it through the two biggest events of the summer, the World Cup and Royal Ascot, betting live as we go. This is a serious, hands on internship, not a watching brief, and it starts straight away.
What you will be working on
Working directly with our Principle Ai Architect and our AI engineers to refine the model for the World Cup and Royal Ascot in real time. You will help decide what we build and bet, point us at where the books are mispriced and why, identify which markets and which same game combinations carry the real edge, tell us what data we need to price them, and help prove we are beating the market rather than matching it. You will sit between the betting knowledge and the model, sharpening it game by game and race by race. You will learn a huge amount, fast, at the heart of a live build.
Who you are
You do not need years in industry, but you do need to genuinely know your stuff.
• You know betting markets inside out. Football and horse racing both, properly. How books and exchanges price, margins, same game correlation, value and closing line value, staking and bankroll.
• You are exceptionally quantitative. Probability, modelling, expected value and calibration are second nature.
• A strong degree, or studying toward one, in a highly numerate subject, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Economics or Econometrics, Computer Science, Engineering, Actuarial Science, Data Science or Operations Research, with an outstanding academic record.
• Some way to show your edge is real, not theoretical. A documented profit and loss, beating the closing line, a strong sports modelling project, or a public record.
• Comfortable with data and working next to engineers. Some Python is a plus. You guide and validate, you do not have to be the model builder.
• Fast, precise, and excited to work on something genuinely new.
The terms
Starts Tuesday 16 June 2026. Four weeks, five days a week, 9am to 6pm, on site at our office in Knightsbridge, London. £2,000 for the internship, working directly with the founder on a live, fast moving build.
