numberFire to Launch First Real-Time, Predictive Sports Experience

NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- numberFire, the premier provider of predictive sports and advanced analytics, is launching numberFire Live, the web's FIRST and ONLY first real-time, predictive analytics-driven game experience for the Big Game on Sunday. The unique second screen experience is designed to bring immediate "Moneyball"-style insights to the everyday sports fan in an easy to use, mobile first platform.

numberFire Live, will also include the traditional features of a stat center, such as play-by-play game tracking, drive summaries and game stats for teams and players, but will take it even further, to make you the smartest fan you can be:

• Win Probability: What are the chances of your team winning after each play?
• Game MVP: Which player has had the greatest impact on his team? Should be named MVP?
• Drive Outcome: Is the team with the ball most likely to score a Touchdown? Make a Field Goal? Punt? Throw an INT?
• Expected Points: How many points will your team score on this drive?
• Player Efficiency Metrics: What player has had the greatest impact while on the field?

"numberFie Live is a really exciting new direction for us," said CEO Nik Bonaddio. "We've always taken the approach at numberFire that while what's already happened is interesting, what's going to happen next is much more compelling. By building out a predictive framework that sits on top of live sports events, fans will now be able to experience the game in an exciting new way."

numberFire Live will update in after each play, in real-time on desktop, tablet, and mobile (via our app or mobile web), so everyone can follow along with the Big Game on any device, in any setting. And, everyone will be able to use the product, because it is FREE to the public.
