I made https://www.golfforecast.co.uk - an ML algorithm to predict golf.

After 5 years it's making enough from subscriptions for me to live off (3K gbp/mo). The algorithm is always a work in progress but it's seeing consistent returns now so I'm making money from that too :) plus it makes golf a lot more entertaining.

if you have an edge why not keep it to yourself and bet the farm as they say?

This is lower risk

Yea I don't have a farm to bet just yet. This means two income streams. Plus I love working on the website

Do you know ML or learned just for this?
