The Favorites Sports Betting Podcast

Analytics vs Expertise with Author Chris Jones

Host Chad Millman describes today's guest as "possibly the greatest magazine writer of his generation." He's gushing about his longtime friend and colleague Chris Jones, now the author of a new book titled The Eye Test: A Case for Human Creativity in the Age of Analytics. With co-host Simon Hunter off on a well-deserved vacation, Chad and Chris discuss the book and its argument for human inputs of experience and "embodied analysis" in an era where data has been treated as infallible. In a spirited discussion, Chad also applies the book's many lessons and anecdotes to the world of sports and sports betting.
