  • Luck and the Law: Quantifying Chance in Fantasy Sports and Other Contests
    1 LUCK AND THE LAW: QUANTIFYING CHANCE IN FANTASY 2 SPORTS AND OTHER CONTESTS∗ 3 DANIEL GETTYy , HAO LIz , MASAYUKI YANOx , CHARLES GAO{, AND A. E. HOSOIk 4 Abstract. Fantasy sports have experienced a surge in popularity in the past decade. One of the 5 consequences of this recent rapid growth is increased scrutiny surrounding the legal aspects of the 6 game which typically hinge on the relative roles of skill and chance in the outcome of a competition. 7 While there are many ethical and legal arguments that enter into the debate, the answer to the skill 8 versus chance question is grounded in mathematics. Motivated by this ongoing dialogue we analyze 9 data from daily fantasy competitions played on FanDuel during the 2013 and 2014 seasons and 10 propose a new metric to quantify the relative roles of skill and chance in games and other activities. 11 This metric is applied to FanDuel data and to simulated seasons that are generated using Monte 12 Carlo methods; results from real and simulated data are compared to an analytic approximation 13 which estimates the impact of skill in contests in which players participate in a large number of 14 games. We then apply this metric to professional sports, fantasy sports, cyclocross racing, coin 15 flipping, and mutual fund data to determine the relative placement of all of these activities on a skill-luck spectrum.16 Key words.

  • Functions Arising by Coin Flipping
    Functions arising by coin flipping Johan W¨astlund May 1999 ∗ Abstract We repeatedly toss a biased coin where the probability is p of ob- serving “heads”. The probability of a certain event can be regarded as a function of p. L. Lov´asz asked for a characterization of the functions occurring as the probability of some “reasonable” event. We state this problem in precise terms by introducing the concept of an “observ- able” event. Our main theorem states that a function (0, 1) (0, 1) → represents the probability of an observable event if and only if it is continuous, and does not tend to 0 or 1 faster than polynomially, as p tends to 0 or 1. We also give several simple examples of events having probabilities given by elementary functions. 1 Introduction Suppose that we repeatedly toss a coin which is unfair in the sense that the probability of observing “heads” is p, and the probability of observing “tails” ∗Note: A first version of this paper was written in 1997 and included in my PhD thesis in 1999. After my PhD dissertation the last section on “finite” events was added. Later I was informed that my main result, Theorem 1.2, was established already in 1994 by M. S. Keane and G. L. O’Brien, A Bernoulli factory, ACM Transactions on Modeling and Computer Simulation 4, Issue 2, 213–219 (thanks to Yuval Peres for pointing this out). Of course I do not blame Lov´asz for giving me a problem that was already solved, he mentioned it very informally at a dinner in his house.

The fi rst two, signifi cance and estimation, deal with the logic of inference. They correspond to Step 4 of our six-step statistical investigation method. The last two concepts, generalization and causation, deal with the scope of infer- ence. They correspond to Step 5. In Unit 1 we present these four core concepts—strength, size, breadth, and cause—one chapter at a time, in the simplest possible statistical setting: observed values for a single binary (Yes/No) variable. This setting is mathematically simple enough to study by fl ipping coins or dealing cards from a shuffl ed deck of red and black cards. However, even though the coins and cards are simple, they can be used for inference about a variety of interesting situations.
