• Sports forecasting: a comparison of the forecast accuracy of prediction markets, betting odds and tipsters (2009, methodology): “In a PM, each participant contributes his or her knowledge to the market by trading, so the stock prices represent participants’ aggregated knowledge and thus the PM’s prediction (Hahn and Tetlock, 2006; Spann and Skiera, 2003).”
