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?
