    Anyone into Data Analytics?

    I was wondering if any cappers use statistical analysis to make bets. BigDataBall has some tremendous data sets available going back several years.

    I'm an IBM mainframe operations analyst by trade in real life.
    Most think of it as boring, I like it.

    Not BigDataBall, no.
    I know of them, you've piqued my interest, I'll check it out.

    Besides my own databases. I lean on a couple of others as well.

    Baseball seems like the only sport where data analysis is relevant. I will try to look into doing some research during summer when I have free time. Any advice on getting started stevenash?
