    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IDENTIFYING OPTIMAL TENNIS BETTING PORTFOLIOS BASED ON VARYING RISK TOLERANCES OF BETTORS NIMAY GODBOLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Finance with honors in Finance Reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. Robert Novack Associate Professor of Business Logistics Thesis Supervisor Dr. Brian Davis Clinical Assistant Professor of Finance Honors Adviser * Electronic approvals are on file. i ABSTRACT This thesis assesses the risk versus return relationship in tennis betting among the different tournaments that exist within the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour, the main men’s tennis governing body. To do so, betting data is gathered from a website well-known for this data collection, http://www.tennis-data.co.uk/. The purpose of this thesis is to identify optimal betting portfolios for bettors with varying levels of risk aversion. Expected returns and standard deviations of Grand Slam, Masters 1000, ATP 500, and ATP 250 tournaments were analyzed to create an optimal risky portfolio using Markowtiz’s Portfolio Theory. Once that was created, optimal betting portfolios were created by betting a portion of the money in the tennis betting market and investing the rest in Vanguard’s Prime Money Market Fund, VMMXX. The key finding is significant; at a risk aversion level of A = 4, the portfolio yields a return of 11.02 percent and a standard deviation of 15.02 percent, which is a higher return and lower standard deviation than the historical average of the S&P 500.
