Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics. (And Football)

[Amazinz]

Mathematical algorithms absolutely do work on human beings. There are patterns even in chaos. Like KH said, they may not be perfect but they're better than nothing.

Even the better baseball models have a tough time hitting 75% accuracy. I am relatively new to FF but I would guess most football models are lucky to hit 50% accuracy. Sample sizes in baseball are immense compared to football and we have a lot more data readily available.

Didn't John Nash try to figure out Mathematical Algorithms with regard to human beings? And if I remember correctly he figured it out to some degree of accuracy.
