Hey guys.
I'm happy to be part of what seems to be a very helpful forum. I am 22 years old and working in financial services in Chicago, and graduated in May 2013 with a degree in Finance. In my spare time I like to play fantasy sports (football, basketball), and have found multiple sites that allow me to turn my hobby into a steady revenue stream. I have noticed that salary cap based player valuations are similar to trading, and my hobby has grown into something I think can turn into a profitable model. I am relatively experienced in trading strategies and risk management and have applied this to my experience thus far, and without a functioning model have returned roughly 2,000% YTD. My goal is to minimize my risk to a point where I have a model that does projections, valuation, and ultimately solves for an optimal lineup projection week to week, with minimal weekly/daily data entry.
If anyone has experience building models like this please feel free to reply to this forum, or email me. Once I start making concrete headway on my model I will start a thread where I will post the progress. Any other fantasy sports enthusiasts that are interested are welcome if they want to learn more. Reply to this thread if you would like to get in touch.
I plan on using this forum frequently to help with my lack of direction.
Best,
Mike
