On: What Real-Time Gambling Data Reveals About Sports

[splike]

I wonder where they get their data, I feel that the community could come up with a better ranking algorithm than the square distance formula that they give

I'm wondering the same. They mention TradeSports, which is Intrade's prediction market for sports, but it hasn't launched yet afaik (I've been on their e-mail list since before Intrade shut down in March 2013, and I haven't received anything).

EDIT: nm. the reference to TradeSports was to 2007 (before it shut down in 2008). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TradeSports
