Arena Betting Programs: Do they exists?

As you might had noticed, Gravarg had made a detailed research regarding how AI behaves in terms which mercenaries the AI attacks, and the relationship of individual mercenaries formation into getting attacked. I was impress about his findings and was made curious at the same time.
I had heard way back when I was a complete noob in AO, that there are some calculating programs that would spit out which lineup would one bet in the arena betting. So I am here to inquire about that and hope to become rich in arena betting as well hehehe.

It is easy to write a program that will make predictions about which arena team will win if you don't mind the predictions being wrong.
that would be easy to create but not easy to trust. we wont know what an AI could do, sometimes it is being stupid and sometimes amazing. i dont know, i think it would be difficult to calculate AI in arena betting, one wrong calculation, then everything else is screwed up. i just depend on my senses hahaha

the problem with such a program is that without actually hacking the packets of the game the AI used in the round is unknown. I'm sure you can hack the game with a program that would get around this, but I haven't heard of any such thing...
P.S. I just won 478 mil, yay go Alki!
I suppose if someone like me sat down and kept track of all the arenas for a couple of months, and kept track of thier set ups and who came out the winner the majority of the time. You could essentially make bets based on previous wins and losses of the data recorded. Then make a handy program that would predict which arena player would win based on the % of thier wins with the set up they're using vs the others set ups. It would be kind of like counting cards in Blackjack.
I think one of the hardest part of such program is that those Arena AIs tend to be very unpredictable and at times very dumb. It does add some spice to betting but I really wish that they would make those AIs fight decently so that I can make a better bet and predictions. Since at the moment, I had never won anything from Arena Betting. hehe.
