Mathletics: How Gamblers, Managers, and Fans Use Mathematics in Sports, Second Edition

This book changed the way I view baseball and has given me dramatically positive results in my wagering skills. I feel a lot more confident. I can see things in areas I never even bothered to lack before. This book is hands down a must buy if you want to turn bad gambling habit into a good statistical form of income.

It tells you what's going on in world of sport analytics. Not a good enough guide to show you step by step how to compute your own analytics. Not enough math background information.

This is a great book for anyone who is interested in studying sports through a data-driven perspective. The book covers in detail topics around Baseball, Football, and Basketball, but also briefly discusses analytics components of soccer, hockey, volleyball, golf, and even e-sports. Finally, it concludes with a section on sports gambling.The book is perfect for sports lovers who also want to get introduced to data analytics and statistics. The sports problems presented cover linear algebra, network analysis, Bayesian statistics, regression analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, some basic probability theory, and many more. There is even a whole section devoted to methods, which target readers who want to delve deeper.I did not read the first edition of the book, but the authors explain that this version includes 17 new chapters.Overall a perfect and fun introductory book to sports analytics!
