There has been worldwide interest in the woman who is the Sports Trading Club (http://www.sportstradingclub.com) golf savant since earlier this year when she selected Billy Horschel to record his first PGA Tour victory in the Zurich Classic despite him being a 36-1 outsider.
She then chose Harris English at 66-1 to win the FedEx St. Jude Classic and last month Jason Dufner to win the US PGA Championship at the price of 42 - 1.
Her four extraordinary successes has stunned the sports betting world who fear the consequences of her accuracy.
"Her insight is a miracle of the human mind and a scientific phenomenon," said
Howard Robin , STC Operations Manager.
The Sports Trading Club created The Insight Project, a world first with the study of savants and sports trading.
It is led by their scientific director Dr. Allan Snyder , FRS who, for some 20 years, has conducted ground breaking research on savants at both the Australian National University and the University of Sydney .
"We have embraced the extraordinary skills of savants to give ourselves a unique advantage," said Dr Snyder.
The Sports Trading Club, which operates as a private investors group in England , recently allowed the general public to become members in Australia and is expanding throughout Asia .
It reported a 1,350% profit for the first eight months of 2013 sending a clear message to investors that trading on sports and prediction markets is an emerging industry to rival traditional financial markets.
"Our move to Australia has proven to be astute. A person who invested $50,000 on January 1 of this year has seen that grow to $725,463 in eight months," Mr Robin said.
STC recently expanded into South Africa and South Korea is now looking toward expanding throughout Europe and Asia . STC is seeking a joint venture partner for the Macau market.
