The second panel discussion from MIT Sloan’s sports analytics conference I listened to was about analytics in betting and sports prediction. The soccer analystics discussion I listened to first was interesting!

The discussion about predictive sports betting was interesting even though nothing new really came out. Participating were Jeff Ma (Moderator), member of the famous MIT Blackjack Team; Matthew Holt, Director at Cantor Gaming; Chad Millman, Editor in Chief and betting blogger at ESPN the Magazine; and Haralabos Voulgaris, professional punter.
