Mathematical Monk - https://www.youtube.com/user/mathematicalmonk#p/c/0/ydlkjtov... (includes a probability primer)
Awesome Courses - https://github.com/prakhar1989/awesome-courses - its a very extensive list of university courses including subjects apart from Machine Learning as well
Programming Collective Intelligence - http://www.amazon.com/programming-collective-intelligence-bu... - heard very good reviews about this
Many other resources available apart from the above. You can access more such resources at http://www.tutorack.com/search?subject=machine%20learning
I think its a good idea to go through one or more beginner level courses like that offered by Andrew Ng on Coursera and then do an actual project.
