We built a basketball model back in 1998, for fun. The first three weeks it was winning at a crazy clip. We won a nice chunk of change at a sportsbook called Bowmans, but I believe they were bought out. Those were fun times.

Have you experimented with modeling?
Damn that sounds like fun times for sure. And no I haven't tried quite yet. My math isn't where I'd like it to be and I have no experience programming (not sure if programming is a prerequisite for modeling sports). I'm hoping to change all that as I sift through my classes to earn my degree but right now I just do my own research based on the statistics I consider to be important and placed bets that way. I've faired pretty well so far so I can't really complain too much.
