How Sports Analytics Could Improve Your Business. With Dr. Jason Imbrogno and Dr. David Bergman.

"The strategies that we employ in daily fantasy sports...are
especially useful OUTSIDE of sports analytics".


(#93) This week's conversation is all about data
analytics from an unusual perspective: our guests reveal what the
sports betting industry can tell us about getting data, using
data, and asking it the right questions. How it can help predict
what'll happen next, and why it means a rethink of the
conventional risk/reward balance. University Business and
Economics Professors Dr. David Bergman and Dr. Jason Imbrogno
also discuss the potential opportunities for accounting and
finance professionals that this could offer.
