    How do I get a job doing the live-game (stats) for a website

      I know a friend who does this...he reports to the company in person and the people each get a room with food and drinks to go along with the tv and computer and he keeps all the stats...located outside Philly PA

          That's not true. Computer vision isn't that sophisticated yet (hopefully).

                              Probably need a degree in Statistics, believe it or not. I'm sure these companies aren't just throwing Joe-Shmo into the booth with a computer

                                  This would be a sweet job to get, especially if you've got action on the game you're keeping stats for!

                                      Hows it going guys. This topic interested me. I would love to do some kind of work with this. My question to you is this. The only reason I know about a job like this is because of this post. I am a senior in college with a major in accounting and statistics. Would it be a jerk move to go ahead and apply for a job with this Stats company now? Or should I wait until the original poster hears back from the company to apply. I dont want to steal any jobs here. It would only be part time anyways

                                                  WTF seriously...if you want a job, you apply, doesn't matter if it's a "jerk move." It's not like you're stealing a job from a best friend or family member...

                                                    OK, I just didn't want to take a job away from somebody that informed me of that job. I'm not saying my background is any better than his or i'm def gonna get the job, just didn't wanna be a jerk in case i get it. I guess ill go for it and cut and paste my email responses I get from Stats LLC to this thread.

                                                        You dont need a degree...You do a bunch of simulated games first to make sure you know what you are doing.
