Betting on Analytics

Podcast Notes: 

Matt’s educational content recommendations: 

1. Unabated. The site is built and run by winners. Their articles/videos/podcasts cut through a lot of noise and buzzwords and give true signal. They stay away from giving picks while trying to educate users on how to use tools to win.  
2. For those wanting a book, the logic of sports betting is the best relevant piece of material around.
