APBRmetrics

[Fishheads]

I've been reading this site since it was mentioned on TrueHoop some time ago and have been impressed by the research. I also work in the R&D Dept in one of the world's top sportsbooks, and was thinking that you guys might be ideal to help fill one of our permanent job openings. I also apologize if this is the inappropriate place to post this, but there doesn't seem to be a more convenient place to get in contact with the APBR populace. If you think you or someone you know might be interested and qualified for this position, please PM me with your qualifications and contact info and we can talk further.

Thank you,
Fishheads

P.S. This sportsbook does not do business with U.S. customers, so no worries about any dubious legality.
