We’re podcasting per the launch of the World Cup-tracking Probability Cup, but of course, just had to talk about Wednesday night’s NBA Finals classic. The BIG question on my mind: Should predictors/gamblers price in the NBA’s massive incentive to make this great series continue? Topics!
* Knicks–Spurs Finals comeback analysis and whether San Antonio collapsed or New York surged.
* How teams should manage volatility differently when protecting large leads versus playing from behind.
* Debate over NBA referee incentives, league interests, and the possibility of series-extension bias.
* SportsPredict’s World Cup Probability Cup and using prediction contests to identify analytical talent.
* Whether modern hiring should adopt a “Moneyball” approach by measuring forecasting skill instead of relying on traditional credentials.
* Is the big money in studying idiot sports predictors or geniuses?
Again, join our Probability Cup contest and perhaps win an iPad Pro ($1,000 value) or $200 Ticketmaster gift card. Accept the challenge and learn more at sportspredict.com/probabilitycup.
