Abstract. The SPXS is an Expert System (ES) for sports picks. The SPXS mimics sports handicappers who give advice for selecting a specific team due to certain characteristics of a game match. These virtual handicappers are represented as a knowledge- driven decision support system (DSS). SPXS includes an explanation of the logic behind the advice and transparency of the picking results. The system embeds several Artificial Intelligence (AI) prediction algorithms which represent different human handicapper-experts, who have for priority different variables from the games, creating a group of experts competing for the best prediction results.
