Boys, I am not much of a poster (and frankly, have played baseball VERY lightly over the years, much more invested in college and pro football and hoops), but I wanted to see if anyone else had read Trading Bases, written by Joe Peta. I'll spare you the details, but he was a Wall Street trader who got injured, lost his job ,then decided to combine his love of analytics with his love of baseball. Over the course of a season he netted a 25% gain on his # (documented), though he never went into what his bankroll was (everything was by percentage). I am most interested to see if he has had continued success (this was based on the 2011 season), because the idea of a quantity of plays with a mathematical basis is appealing to me. Plus, I'd love to be able to bet more regularly on baseball with a more intricate system than betting against a sweep and betting on good pitchers when they are an underdog.
Would love to hear anyone else's thoughts, input etc.
