I'm getting serious about writing my book...

[Justin7]

During the day, you typically have 1-3 "peak hours". When you're at your best mentally. You can drudge through stuff as long as you want, but good creative work is very demanding... So I'm spending 1 of my peak hours writing (and I have been the last couple months).

I sometimes have a warped perspective of what people want to know, or how easy/difficult different topics are. With that in mind...

Are there any topics you want covered? And would you consider that a beginner, intermediate or advanced topic?

I'm trying very hard not to suck. If you make money at this, it's all 80% quantitative which is terribly dry... So I'm using a mix of about 40% basic quant trading, 25% "stories on point" that I think are interesting or funny, and about 35% on in-depth modeling.

Any other thoughts on what you'd want to see in it?

[BigDaddy]

will this be available in the SBR store?


thank you

AAAAAAAAA-men to that brother. Amen to that. people dont fukin get it.

[durito]

How much would I have to pay you to not write it.

[jellobiafra]

I'd like to see a debunking of the myth that all books do is seek a balance of money on both sides of all games. Maybe some information about how to sniff out fishy lines and line movement. Stories on point about that, etc.

[pavyracer]

You don't have to write it. Just voice record it while you watch internet porn.

[Justin7]

Durito,

Seriously. Has anything I've written or put in video cost you money? It's a fine line to walk, but I try not to cross it unless it's already "way out in the open".

[Bread]

stories on point" that I think are interesting or funny,

Can't wait to read this part. Your sense of humor is an amazing thing to behold. Should be the best part of the book.

[tullamore]

You should include a section where you do basic math and stats problems and lessons. Give some practice questions. For the more advance math readers, they can skip this whole section. Otherwise with out this section, many readers will be lost.

No, more than likely the opposite.

Just ****ing with you a bit. Let me know when I can order an advance copy.

[wal66]

Justin, don't take this out of context but maybe you could consider handling the Intelligent portion of your book and have JJ and Bread co-author the good stuff (the stuff that sells).

Sure you would have to share the limelight but the final product could be legendary.

[MonkeyF0cker]

I don't get what there is to write about, unless you're going to do all of the work for everyone. And what do you get out of it? Don't tell me you're another Fishhead who NEEDS attention...

Tell people to take a stats class and figure the shit out on their own like the rest of us. Fuk spoon feeding these fuks.

what topics? Pre-algebra, stats, discrete and combinatorial?

I enjoy teaching people. I enjoy writing. Publishing generates a ton of contacts.

[MonkeyF0cker]

So write a stats book. Contacts for what? Death threats?

Contacts... information that I can exploit in sports betting. A lot of people write me now with questions. In the last week, I've had perhaps 10 players and 2 sportsbooks write me. 3 weeks ago, a player gave me some info worth about 100k EV/year.

Stat book. Pure stats? *yawn*

[B1GER1C828]

Gl with this Justin..if you write a book, ill def pick up a copy.

[tullamore]

I think first you need to decide who your target audience is. Do you just want write a general info book, or how advance do you want to get. I would assume anyone reading this idea has some math background. I am not even sure what pre-algebra is.

I would stick to an intro to stats. I know with my friends, most took a stat course in college, they remember standard deviation, z-scores, and etc. But have forgotten how to compute them. If you had one section with how to compute all summary statistics, the text of the book might flow better if you can just say the variance is 2.4, instead of doing all the calculations in the text. If someone was confused how you got 2.4 for the variance they could refer to this one section.

justin you could have said thank you

Good luck exploiting anything when you help create even higher efficiency. If you're looking for letters, get a pen pal.

[B1GER1C828]

sbr members get free copy right? awesome

[Fischnasty]

looking forward to it justin

[Wrecktangle]

...umm, let no cats out of bags...

Don't worry. I honor all non-disclosure agreements

[Deuce]

Is jjgold in it?

[tullamore]

Is jjgold in it?

He already wrote a book.

[IrishTim]

Can't wait to read it, J7.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Just a horrible fukkin idea.

lets hear about this topic

[BurtRapp]

Hope it comes out soon pal

[MonkeyF0cker]

lets hear about this topic

Yeah. Why do I bet that this information was already public anyway?

[tullamore]

Yeah. Why do I bet that this information was already public anyway?

Is there a term in gambling similar to the efficient market hypothesis?

[reno cool]

seems it's likely to be useful and interesting and should not be released, or
boring and pointless and should not be released.

how about a fictional memoir instead?

[GELATINOUS CUBE]

i would steal it from barnes and nobles for sure. Are you still winning though J7?
I agree 70+% of it is dry modeling and statistics/research.
the 'creative part' i say is when you are in the zone, or it's best to be creative when you are in the zone, and not when you are unplugged.
Do you ever post plays dude, no offense, I'd like to see a few plays (just throw us some scraps, ya know)..

[Justin7]

Yeah. Why do I bet that this information was already public anyway?

It is not, and it never will be (at least from me or the author).
