Numberfire does Sports Analytics

Have you ever seen the movie Moneyball? It is about winning baseball games with a low budget and great data science (that is a gross oversimplification). Well, Numberfire tries to do that on way more sports than just baseball. Numberfire considers themselves a Sports Analytics company. I had never heard of Numberfire before, and just the other day I was wondering if there are companies trying to provide better data for people playing fantasy football. So, the timing of this video was excellent for me. Nik Bonaddio, the CEO of Numberfire, gives a quick overview of what Numberfire does and how it works. Hint, it involves lots of Markov Chains.

By the way, if you have not seen the movie Moneyball, I highly recommend it.
