Citations in the corpus

• A tale of two audiences: Spectators, television viewers and outcome uncertainty in Spanish football (2009, background): “Forrest and Simmons (2008) find some evidence of inefficiency in the betting market for Spanish football match outcomes, whereby bets on large Spanish teams to win against small teams appeared to generate lower than normal losses.”
• Using ELO ratings for match result prediction in association football (2010, background): “…of the odds by the bookmakers, as they may have objectives other than making perfect predictions: for example, Levitt (2004) argues that odds may be adapted to be in line with consumer preferences, while Forrest and Simmons (2008) show that odds may be set to exploit fan sentiment.”
