Very practical book
I’ve been interested in building a sports model for a while and have tried to pull a lot of nuggets out of the many books on the subject, but had difficulty going from thoughts to actual model. This book, and the previous book in this series, got me over the hump. The author does a great job tying everything together in a clear and logical way that really balances math and theory well. The templates are good examples to really help you get going on your own ideas. I use R for programming but the concepts here are extremely transferrable. I commend the author for putting together a book with plenty of substance and practical advice that will go alongside the very few other quality sports betting books.
