I have my undergraduate in sports marketing from University of Memphis with a ~3.25 GPA, but over the last year I have really become deeply involved in building a variety of models for different sports, to some moderate success. Through my own efforts, study, book reading, experimenting, I'm pretty familiar with some of the essential concepts that make up the entire enterprise. Like descriptive statistics, Distribution models, Regression analysis, correlations, probability measures, among some other things.
But I'm still only 25 and I feel its not too late to go back to school and get a M.S., maybe with a minor in Computer Science (i've become assimilated into the world of PHP/SQL as well as having a basic understanding of VB and JAVA). Perhaps even work towards a Ph.D
All of this of course a way to ultimately cultivate my sports betting skills, but based on some of the information and posters here at SBR, many people that thrive in betting on sports, with understanding the market and all its imminent variables, have some background in the field of computational mathematics.
I've looked into a few schools, Colorado State, Northern Colorado (which I have solid connections with), Auburn, maybe American, not sure, would like some advice from people who actually have a Statistics centered degree, or one of relevance.
Location/Money shouldn't be a problem, aid is always available, and perhaps I can get a stipend of some sort.
