You need to know some programming to develop a model, if you learn web scraping that will be enough to gather data for a model. You should be able to learn how to do this online.

For books, I'd highly recommend reading these:

Fortune's Forumula - A great book about the Kelly Criterion but touches on a whole range of subjects, a fantastic read.

The Signal and the Noise - Very famous book about prediction in general.

Conquering Risk - Very good book about sports betting (relatively unknown)

Calculated Bets - About creating a model and automated betting system for a relatively unknown sport.

Who's #1? - A book about rankings systems, aimed at ranking sports teams but the authors previously wrote a book on ranking websites (like google search algorithm type stuff). The basis for my dota model came from this book.


I'd recommend everyone to read Fortune's Formula and The Signal and the Noise, even people not interested in modelling. They're both awesome reads.

Calculated bets is a pretty cool read if you're interested in modelling, the author has a really quirky writing style that's entertaining.

Conquering risk is basically about exploiting bookmakers, picking off mistakes. Not really about modelling but still pretty cool.

Who's #1 is a really good intro to making a model for predicting sports imo, there's some very simple ones that will get you started.

haha i think you needed to get something out of your system, hell of a rant :)

if you want to get into equities but dont have capital then you can start by doing the same thing you do with dota, which is called Fundamental Analysis. there is also technical analysis and hybrid approaches, but start looking into literature regarding fundamental analysis and how to start thinking about things.

there are literally thousands of books on the subject, and it's very interesting stuff! a great place to start if you are scared/nervous/whatever is Fundamental Analysis for Dummies

if you cannot afford a copy let me know as i have an extra one in my possession

edit: fundamental analysis is looking at what makes a company valuable and/or risky to invest in ie. low liquidity of assets, high debt ratios, price to earnings ratios etc
