  • The Blend of Normative Uncertainty and Commercial Immaturity in Swedish Ice Hockey
    The Blend of Normative Uncertainty and Commercial Immaturity in Swedish Ice Hockey Re-submitted for publication in Sport in Society (February 2014). By describing and analysing normative uncertainties and the commercial immaturity in Swedish ice hockey (SHL/SIHA), this article focuses on the tension and dialectics in Swedish sport; increasingly greater commercial attempts (i.e., entrepreneurship, ‘Americanisation’, multi-arenas, innovations and public limited companies (plcs)) have to be mixed with a generally non-profit making organisation (e.g., the Swedish Sports Confederation) and its traditional values of health, democracy and youth sports and fosterage. In this respect, the elite ice hockey clubs are situated in a legal culture of two parallel norm systems: the tradition of self-regulation in sport and in civil law (e.g., commercial law). Indeed, the incoherent blend of idealism and commercialism in Swedish elite hockey appears to be fertile ground for hazardous (sports) management and indebtedness. This mix of ‘uncertainty’ and ’immaturity’ has given rise to various financial trickeries and negligence, which have subsequently developed into legal matters. Consequently, the legal system appears to have become a playground for Swedish ice hockey. This article reflects on the reasons and the rationale in this frictional development by focusing on a legal case that comes under the Business Reorganisation Act. The analysis reveals support for a ‘soft’ juridification process in Swedish ice hockey in order to handle the charging tension of the two parallel norm systems. Keywords: entrepreneurship, public limited company (plc.), non-profit-organisation, bankruptcy, business reorganisation, juridification. Introduction Swedish ice hockey, and particularly SHL, the premier league, is claimed to be the most commercially developed Swedish sport in terms of financial turnovers1 and commercial magnetism.

  • On Determining Probability Forecasts from Betting Odds
    On Determining Probability Forecasts from Betting Odds Erik Strumbeljˇ University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Computer and Information Science Trˇzaˇska25, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia [email protected] tel: +386-1-4768459 Abstract We show that probabilities determined from betting odds by using Shin's model are more accurate forecasts than probabilities determined with basic normalization or regression models. This applies to both fixed-odds book- makers and the world's largest betting exchange. We also provide empirical evidence that some bookmakers are significantly different sources of proba- bilities in terms of forecasting accuracy and that betting exchange odds are not always the best source. In fact, the use of Shin's model decreases, on average, the advantage of betting exchange odds to the point of reversing the order and significance of some of the differences in accuracy. Therefore, previous findings in favor of betting exchanges that did not rely on Shin's model to determine probabilities from bookmakers should be revisited. Keywords: Sports forecasting, Probability forecasting, Fixed-odds, Betting exchange, Shin's model, Betfair, Calibration Preprint submitted to International Journal of Forecasting June 2, 2013 1. Introduction The scientific literature has been interested in the accuracy of betting odds-based probability forecasts both directly, comparing them to other sources of probability forecasts, and indirectly, through their use in betting strategies and as explanatory variables in statistical models. Probabilities from betting odds are also used as a basis for other economics research, such as betting market efficiency and competitive balance of sports competitions. We do not give a detailed review of all the uses of betting odds.

  • COMPETITIVE BALANCE in VEIKKAUSLIIGA and LIIGA Roope
    COMPETITIVE BALANCE IN VEIKKAUSLIIGA AND LIIGA Roope Töllikkö Master’s Thesis Sport and Exercise Promotion Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences University of Jyväskylä 2020 UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences TÖLLIKKÖ, ROOPE: Competitive balance in Veikkausliiga and Liiga ABSTRACT Master’s Thesis, 77 pages Social Sciences of Sport 2020 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the nominal paper by Simon Rottenberg in 1956, in which he discussed the notion of competitive balance for the first time, the theory has been a backbone in team sport economics. However, recent empirical evidence shows a clear trend of decrease in the levels of competitive balance across different leagues and sports around the world. A clear gap in the evidence exists in the Finnish sporting context and therefore this thesis aims to determine the current levels of competitive balance in Veikkausliiga and Liiga and how these levels have evolved throughout the last 30 years (1990-2019). The theoretical framework of this thesis can be traced to Simon Rottenberg’s theory of competitive balance and uncertainty of outcome, which is widely considered as the kick-start for team sport economics. The theory states that in order for a sport league to thrive, to attract spectators and thus be more profitable, the teams must be of approximately similar strength. Dominance, or in other words, a monopoly position of one or a few teams would harm the league, the main product itself. In order to measure the levels of competitive balance in the two leagues, a series of widely established measurement methods were used. The tools included the Herfindahl-Index, Gini Coefficient, standard deviation and historical winning percentages.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Munich Personal RePEc Archive MPRA Munich Personal RePEc Archive Impact of playoffs on seasonal uncertainty in Czech ice hockey Extraliga Jiri Lahvicka 27. February 2013 Online at http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/44608/ MPRA Paper No. 44608, posted 1. March 2013 11:50 UTC IMPACT OF PLAYOFFS ON SEASONAL UNCERTAINTY IN CZECH ICE HOCKEY EXTRALIGA JIŘÍ LAHVIČKA E-MAIL: [email protected] In the top Czech ice hockey competition “Extraliga”, 14 geographically close teams compete during a regular season in a pure round-robin tournament. However, the eventual champion is determined in the additional playoff stage; the regular season just decides which teams qualify for the playoffs and how these teams are seeded. This paper uses a Monte Carlo simulation to show that although the additional playoff stage heavily favors higher-seeded teams and consists of a lot of matches, it lowers the probability of the best team becoming a champion and thus increases seasonal uncertainty. Keywords: seasonal uncertainty, Monte Carlo, ice hockey, tournament design JEL classification: C53; L83 Last revision: February 24th, 2013 1 INTRODUCTION One of the most important results of sports economics is the observation that a tighter competition with a more uncertain outcome will attract more spectators. This so-called uncertainty of outcome hypothesis was first formulated by Rottenberg (1956), who noted that a baseball team winning too many games would attract fewer spectators, and later expanded on by Neale (1964), who claimed that a sports league will attract higher attendances if league standings are close and change often.
