So I will be putting my money were my mouth is once baseball season starts. Well, really once each team has played 20 games because this is how long I let the season run before I started building my regression formula. It will not be much because lets be honest, I am a math instructor at a two year college.
Not only did I think of putting real money down but also donating whatever is left over at the end of the year to a charity. I will probably be making $5 bets on these games or less, it really depends on how much capitol I start with so its not as though these charities be getting much even if my formula turns out successful, but it really sounds like an interesting way of doing it. I do not exactly know which charity right now. I was either going to go with make a wish, or habitat for humanity. I am a fan of donating and being able to actually see outcomes. I am not saying that donating to larger charities like Susan G Komen are bad, it is just that when you donate to charities like that you usually do not get to see the research being done, or direct effect from the donations. I have partnered with make-a-wish before and I actually got the chance to meet the little boy who's wish we had the pleasure to make happen. That was a neat experience. Yes, this has nothing to do with statistics, and yes, I didn't even touch my formula today. Sometimes one needs to think bigger than ones self, and today I had that thought.
