Degree in sports gambling
May sound silly on the surface to some people. But Imagine how many people it would save from having to learn the lessons the hard way.
Don't think it would lack in popularity either.

Why not I say.....I know I would have taken it.

i don't think many would go for it...do you really think that a lot of sports gamblers could write a dissertation?

I think as much the issue is also.....professors they hire wouldn't be keen to give away their secrets of success to the masses. Sure the basics.

secrets of success? imo there is very little secrets in this game, it is very subjective, numbers, stats, and trends are all there; it comes down to how you interpret them and which you favor over the other. i think that is a viable degree. you could have classes on many different topics: Bankroll Management 101, 201; Stats, Advanced Wagering, Injuries, Value Betting, Hedging. Sure to some of us it seems like simple ideas, but have you tried to explain some of this stuff to a non gambler?

There must be something with that lol I originally was going to go for engineering, then switched to psych then off to business which is what I'm trying to finish now many years later.
All I knew was I didn't want to take 2 more semesters of calc.

Why not do a class, the WPT has a boot camp for wanna be poker pro's. You should create a wagering boot camp. 2 weeks of clases 2k, 25 heads per class= $$$$$
