Our Research Practices

At CasinoTop, we pride ourselves on being the best when it comes to gathering information and making it available to you. With a variety of topics that range from sports odds to the most common foods to find at a sports event, what you'll find here will surprise and intrigue you. Below are a few examples of how we conduct our research.

  • The Odds of a New 007 Film in the Next Five Years

    Here we looked at the time between each film, the age of the actors, and how long they held the role. We also paid careful attention to industry news from reliable sources while conducting research of our own. Looking at various texts with tools such as TextBlob, we were able to determine if something was positive, negative or neutral.

    Ran a text analysis
    Categorized the primary topics as being about particular words
    Analyzed the parties that were mentioned
    Focused on current trends on the topic
  • The Odds of Being Bitten by a Venomous Snake

    Our research sources include:

    Snake Bite Data
    CDC
    National Geographic
    Reader's Digest
    Texas Government
    World Health Organization
  • Bet on the Razzies

    If you're going to bet on the Razzies, you'll need some decent odds and we found them by following different trends by looking at the culture of the film industry. And unlike other award ceremonies, the winners of this contest are significantly more responsive to trends in the U.S. We've also learned that no one is immune to winning a Razzie, so this makes it possible to add Oscar nominees to our lists too.

    We also factor in previous serial winners such as the likes of Madonna, Sylvester Stallone and Adam Sandler. Musicians and athletes are also prone to make bad actors, so naturally, they'll be considered as well.

  • Political Betting

    Betting on politics has become increasingly popular over the last few years and we've ensured that we've gathered research in a reliable manner. We've paid close attention to large local and international political events, presidential elections, government affairs and new leader namings via political betting sites. Our data is unbiased and we're well aware of the polls, we've also avoided news from heavily biased sites.

  • Bet on Survivor

    Here we look at a range of factors such as age, physical condition and general attitude toward other contestants. Choosing a winner may seem easy, but it can be difficult if alliances are formed within the competition. Sometimes there will be returning contestants and they're usually strong contenders because of their experience in the game, so naturally, they'll have better odds.

  • Bet on The Voice

    It's not always easy betting on competitions and The Voice has a wealth of talent that makes it difficult to establish odds. We look at the popularity of contestants on social media and with the fans in general and their versatility in music. We often compare contestants to each other, especially those that are singing the same type of songs and how well they perform.

  • Royal Family Betting

    Betting on the royal family has been popular since the early 1900s and there have been plenty of betting markets such as the indication of Prince Andrew and Prince Charles becoming the king by 2025. Regardless of the market, we look at previous results and the factors that influenced them as well as royal traditions. We stay clear of tabloids and biased information as this will likely result in poor odds.

  • Miss Universe Betting

    When it comes to Miss Universe betting we pay close attention to what the fans have to say as they're usually the ones that have the best predictions along with making excellent observations. Looking at past winners and how current contestants are preparing for the pageant is another way we decide on the odds.

  • Betting on the 2022 Golden Globes

    Betting on the Golden Globes isn't as difficult as sports as the nominees are made public a month before the ceremony. However, the odds will decrease as we get closer to the event and getting your bet early can result in a big win. We pay attention to the work of the nominees, deciding for ourselves and then looking at what industry experts and critics have to say. Finally, we look at fan opinions and make our final decision.
