Majority opinion still holds that short  term fluctuations in financial markets follow random walk. In this  non-random walk through financial and sports gambling markets,  parallels are drawn between modeling short term currency movements and  modeling outcomes of athletic encounters. The forecasting concepts and  methodologies are identical; only the variables change names. If, in  fact, these markets are driven by mechanisms of non-random walk, there  must be some explanation for the negative forecasting results. \u003cem\u003eThe  Analysis of\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eSports Forecasting: Modeling Parallels Between  Sports Gambling and\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eFinancial Markets\u003c\/em\u003e examines this issue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781441949585\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441949585\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6713-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 294\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358598819980,"sku":"9781441949585","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441949585_94126ad6-6608-4c76-bbf3-46670391f443.jpg?v=1755109405","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441949585","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
