  • The Effect of Market Structure on Pricing Efficiency: an Empirical Study of Sports Betting Markets
    to 20% of the asset’s price, because of the increased difficulty in accurately valuing the asset, i.e., the probability of the bet winning. Sportsbooks create these prices by estimating a “fair price” that represents the actual value of the bet, one which in the long term a bettor would expect to break even. For example, the bookmaker might find the favorite to be -150 and the underdog +150. From here, he will apply the spread so that the customer is paying extra to bet the game: for example, -160/+140. Instead of centering the posted prices around the fair price, the book may choose to “fade” its lines, that is, to adjust the betting line one way or the other in order to achieve a desired bet distribution. For example, if the bookmaker expected most people to bet on the favorite at -160/+140, he might offer -165/+145 instead, so that those who want to bet on the favorite receive a worse price. Sportsbook fading creates an inaccurate implied “fair price,” the estimated price without the spread: -155 here instead of -150. Fading is a potential source of market pricing inefficiency—this study attempts to determine whether sportsbooks fade their markets and its affect on overall market efficiency. With the advent of the internet and online sportsbooks have come online betting exchanges. Like electronic financial exchanges on which investors' bids and offers are matched, bettors can see all the open orders on a game and can choose to match an existing offer or post their own order for the odds they would like to receive.
