Haven't met anyone who bets on sumo so I don't know. The stats are out there, so I don't think its worth anything more than a bit of ui convenience

Sumodb is great and still better in many ways!
I was testing something like this with https://sumostats.com/live (a second-screen style page, so you can quickly look up the current match and it follows along live).
But I think I know what you mean... I'll check out Natto graphics again (haven't seen it in a while) and will try make something up for next basho!

a fun side project to track Sumo stats.
Every two months there’s a 15-day tournament where 670 rikishi(sumo wrestler) fighting ~160 matches each day. I’m recording all the results and kimarite (winning moves) into a browsable database with charts and videos.
Recently I have been using Gemini to process and edit the daily match videos. It works surprising well. It can detect the start/end of each bout, recognise the wrestlers and assign the correct rikishi id to them.
Still early, but if you want to get into Sumo feel free to join! Its fun to watch and the matches are quick!

Any part of the world in mind?
It is not near Japan but... Portugal is a really nice place (you do need a negative test before you go though).

Just a fun little site I made while waiting and checking the status of corona in Japan. I hope to keep it updated since I am checking the news and looking at the numbers daily anyway! Thanks for checking it out!

Fiction is so huge and is something that captivates readers of every age. Other genres are more limiting in this respect. Fiction is the genre that appeals to us the most so we decide to focus on just great fiction.
