The collection and analysis of in-game data can inform players, coaches and staff on effective decision making during sporting events. Moreover, little errors, like a penalty to a player or an error in a call by a referee, can change the score of a game and corresponding betting prices. With prices changing continuously, risk arbitrage bets can be made. Sports games and events are a fruitful area for study and to evaluate betting strategies as there is extensive data and mean reversion. Image: Cover for "Sports Analytics" view more
