Could I try and move this discussion in something I'm interested in. Have you ever tried building models to give you an edge when betting on sports. Seems a much simpler and easier thing to predict than the stock market. I'm told cricket and tennis have lots of data available, and there is the bet fair market where you can bet and lay odds."You can't climb the ladder of success, with your hands in the pockets"

Specifically I'm talking about in game betting. Not trying to predict who will win before the game. As that no doubt requires in depth knowledge and a lot of luck. But more the betting whilst the game is in play. That way you can aggregate all past games together and build models off that. For example if someone goes a set down in tennis, how does the market react in terms of the odds given. Does the betting market over react to this new information, when compared to the actual historic odds. Stuff like that. Much simpler than financial instruments. Lets be honest, most people can't get their heads around mortgages and their costs/ how to compare never mind options futures and swaps."You can't climb the ladder of success, with your hands in the pockets"
