  • Apostas Online – O Caso Da Primeira Liga Portuguesa De Futebol
    MESTRADO EM FINANÇAS TRABALHO FINAL DE MESTRADO TRABALHO DE PROJETO APOSTAS ONLINE - O CASO DA PRIMEIRA LIGA PORTUGUESA DE FUTEBOL TIAGO VIRGÍLIO TEIXEIRA SANTOS SEVERINO SETEMBRO - 2013 MESTRADO EM FINANÇAS TRABALHO FINAL DE MESTRADO TRABALHO DE PROJETO APOSTAS ONLINE - O CASO DA PRIMEIRA LIGA PORTUGUESA DE FUTEBOL TIAGO VIRGÍLIO TEIXEIRA SANTOS SEVERINO ORIENTAÇÃO: RAQUEL M. GASPAR SETEMBRO - 2013 Apostas online – O caso da Primeira Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Agradecimentos Agradeço imenso a todos aqueles que tornaram possível a realização deste projeto. Um agradecimento especial à minha orientadora, Professora Doutora Raquel Medeiros Gaspar, pelo apoio, aconselhamento e disponibilidade. Muito obrigado pela sua orientação. À minha família, particularmente à minha mãe, Florbela Teixeira, pelo apoio incondicional. Aos meus amigos, em particular aos que partilharam comigo as sessões de orientação num espirito de entreajuda e crítica construtiva. i Apostas online – O caso da Primeira Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Resumo Neste estudo, quer através da procura de oportunidades de arbitragem, quer da exploração da anomalia favourite longshot bias, analisa-se a possibilidade de obter soluções lucrativas no mercado de apostas online referente à Primeira Liga Portuguesa de Futebol Profissional. Para a época 2012/13 é possível identificar uma incidência de 4,17% oportunidades de arbitragem, valor bastante distante do constatado para as “Big Five” ligas europeias (17,43%), e com uma rendibilidade média por aposta de 1,22%. Para a exploração do fenómeno favourite longshot bias é utilizada uma estratégia de apostas em todas as odds iguais ou inferiores a um determinado limite. A otimização desse limite para o período entre 2000 e 2011 leva à obtenção de rendibilidades por aposta de 4,02% (odd máxima) e 2,15% (odd média).

  • Calendarização Dos Jogos Da Principal Liga Portuguesa De Futebol E Atribuição De Árbitros Com Recurso a Programação Inteira
    Calendarização dos jogos da principal liga portuguesa de futebol e atribuição de árbitros com recurso a programação inteira André Ricardo Tenreiro Freitas dos Reis Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia e Gestão Industrial Orientador: Prof. José Rui de Matos Figueira Júri Presidente: Prof. Francisco Miguel Garcia Gonçalves de Lima Orientador: Prof. José Rui de Matos Figueira Vogal: Prof. Augusto Manuel José Eusébio Outubro 2015 Dedicatória À minha família, aos meus amigos. ii Resumo A dissertação em apreço tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de dois modelos matemáticos, não só capazes de calendarizar os jogos da principal liga portuguesa de futebol, mas também de atribuir árbitros aos respetivos jogos. O objetivo proposto será atingido a partir da aplicação de conceitos de Investigação Operacional à temática desportiva do futebol, recorrendo a técnicas baseadas em programação inteira. Atualmente, os processos de calendarização dos jogos das duas ligas profissionais de futebol existentes em Portugal e da afetação de árbitros, ou juízes de partida, aos jogos, são responsabilidade de duas organizações distintas e independentes uma da outra. A Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, mais precisamente o Conselho de Arbitragem, órgão social da própria Federação, está encarregue de atribuir os árbitros aos jogos, desenvolvendo-se este processo jornada a jornada da competição. A calendarização de jogos é efetuada pela Liga de Clubes Portugal, denominada por Liga NOS na época desportiva (2014/2015), consequência dos compromissos com o seu principal patrocinador. Qualquer destes dois organismos teve um papel muito importante para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, contribuindo com informação relevante, dados reais, com os quais foi possível estabelecer critérios e construir restrições matemáticas capazes de modelar os modelos apresentados.

  • Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages
    International Journal of Computer Science in Sport Volume 1 6, Issue 1, 2017 Journal homepage: http://iacss.org/index.php?id=30 DOI: 10.1515/ijcss-2017-0002 Computational Estimation of Football Player Wages Yaldo, L., Shamir, L. Lawrence Technological University Abstract The wage of a football player is a function of numerous aspects such as the player’s skills, performance in the previous seasons, age, trajectory of improvement, personality, and more. Based on these aspects, salaries of football players are determined through negotiation between the team management and the agents. In this study we propose an objective quantitative method to determine football players’ wages based on their skills. The method is based on the application of pattern recognition algorithms to performance (e.g., scoring), behavior (e.g., aggression), and abilities (e.g., acceleration) data of football players. Experimental results using data from 6,082 players show that the Pearson correlation between the predicted and actual salary of the players is ∼0.77 (p < .001). The proposed method can be used as an assistive technology when negotiating players salaries, as well as for performing quantitative analysis of links between the salary and the performance of football players. The method is based on the performance and skills of the players, but does not take into account aspects that are not related directly to the game such as the popularity of the player among fans, predicted merchandise sales, etc, which are also factors of high impact on the salary, especially in the case of the team lead players and superstars. Analysis of player salaries in eight European football leagues show that the skills that mostly affect the salary are largely consistent across leagues, but some differences exist.

  • Adnane El Wajgali Research Paper Sports Redefined: the Importance of Sponsors in Shaping the Modern Image of Sport Supervised By
    Adnane El Wajgali Research paper Sports redefined: The importance of sponsors in shaping the modern image of sport Supervised by: Dr. Pierre Lévy Evaluated by: Dr. Daniel Paré Department of Communication © Adnane El Wajgali, Ottawa, Canada, 2017. Abstract Sports hold an important place in every society and are consumed in a wide variety of ways. They inclusively carry noble values and contribute improving social cohesion. Sports today are considered as one of the main sources of entertainment and major sports events attract sponsors ready to offer colossal contracts for more exposure. Powerful brands inject billions of dollars in the sports industry every year and in return want to be seen, heard and liked. They are influential in different ways and might even be changing the way we look at sport. The objective of this paper is to study the ways in which sponsoring, precisely kit deals and stadium naming rights can influence the image of football. Keywords: sports; sponsorship; club culture; football; kits; naming rights 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank both of my professors Pierre Lévy and Daniel Paré for their guidance and their precious feedback. I would also like to thank Agnieszka Szczotka, librarian at the University of Ottawa, for sharing valuable tips and advice about research, collection and synthesis of literature. Thank you also to all the people who contributed directly or indirectly to the completion of this project. 2 Table of contents Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………….4 Objective…………………………………………………………………………………………..7 Research design and methodology………………………………………………………………...8 Literature review…………………………………………………………………………………10 - Sport-sponsorship Tandem………………………………………………………………10 1.

  • Two Worlds Collide: Salary Arbitration for NHL Players in the Salary Cap Era
    Two Worlds Collide: Salary Arbitration for NHL Players in the Salary Cap Era TREVOR LEVINE* I. INTRODUCTION In the summer of 1997, Tommy Salo was a young and promising goaltender who had just finished his first full season as the New York Islanders' starting goalie. 1 However, after an emotional arbitration hearing during which Islanders' General Manager Mike Milbury called Salo "one of the worst-conditioned athletes on the team," 2 the goalie who had helped lead 3 the 1994 Swedish national team to Olympic gold was reduced to tears. Salary arbitration can be a nasty process with both players and teams fighting for every dollar.4 Although salary arbitration hearings can sometimes damage players' egos, the players themselves fought to implement the system in 1970 and fought to maintain it in 1994.5 Despite the * J.D. 2011, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. 1 Tim Whamsby, The Most Bitter of Battles, THE SPORTING NEWS, July 22, 2002, available at http://fmdarticles.com/p/articles/mi-ml208/is_29_226/ai_95680434/. The article also discusses John LeClair's adversarial arbitration hearing with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2000.
