  1. I’ll just assume I’m number 51. 😉

    Do you like mixing coding and NBA? The NBA has made a great deal of data available, including actual player movement data for games!

    There are a lot of good blogs out there about crunching sports data and as mentioned in the first NBA link, there are even NBA APIs available for getting data.

    With a little work, you could build a betting model that could pay for the cost of Delphi. 🙂
