TheWolfLine and Technical Analysis for Sports Betting Through Gamification...The ONLY Game in Town

It is accepted that there are only 2 ways to analyze an asset in a marketplace in order to measure the market price of the asset relative to the actual value of the asset to decide what to buy, what to sell and when...

  1. Fundamental Analysis- Completely irrelevant because once the fundamental information becomes known to the public, it is then "baked into the market price" and does not matter. A guy named Eugene Fama won the Nobel Prize for Economics for this a few years back for something called "The Efficient Market Hypothesis". The only time that fundamental information has any value is if it is not known by the public/the market, but if that non-public information is profited from then it is a violation of SEC rule 10b5-1 and you can go to prison..and you don't want to go to prison. The irrelevance of fundamental analysis has recently been brought to the forefront with cryptocurrencies that have zero fundamental basis yet still trade with multibillion $ market caps in an extremely liquid fashion.
  2. Technical Analysis (including market sentiment) - This is all that matters. Technical Analysis is the quantified and graphically displayed representation of behavioral economics. This includes quantitative indicators, oscillators, charts, pattern recognition tools, etc and is only concerned with the action of the market. The human brain never changes and always has been, and always will be, beholden to emotive irrationality, fear, greed, etc. The mistake that Fama's Efficient Market Hypothesis makes is that it fails to include Behavioral Economics in his hypothesis and that is exactly what creates the inefficiencies. So The Efficient Market Hypothesis is incomplete...But TheWolfLine completes it for your Sports Betting/Trading experience.

TheWolfLine IS THE ONLY PLATFORM IN THE WORLD THAT OFFERS TECHNICAL ANALYSIS FOR SPORTS AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS IS ALL THAT MATTERS WHEN PRICING MARKETS Note:

  • In terms of stocks, if everything was "efficient" then every stock would trade at company book value divided by shares outstanding and the market would only be open for 15 minutes per day while everything settled at its NAV(Net Asset Value)
  • In terms of sports, if they were "efficient" then every game would end as the market implied, so if Team A is -6 and the total is 40 then it would always end at Team A winning 23-17. Neither of these happen of course. I do not know who arbitrarily made up that stocks are "18 months forward in price" but it is complete fiction.

  How to Navigate the Structure of a Probability Priced Sports Betting Exchange Platform by Using Options Theory/Application and Greek Risk Variables A probability based sports betting exchange is predicated on the buying and selling of probabilities (just like it sounds) of pre-game/contracts and in-game/contracts. A "sports bet" is the same as an options contract and is composed of underlying price (the score of the game), the strike price of the option (the point spread or total of the game depending on the bet), the time remaining in the contract (time left in the game, half, etc.) and implied volatility (the total expected scoring remaining in the contract). From this point forward, the contracts will be referred to as "the game" (obviously there are also bets to be made on halves of games, quarters of games, etc. just as there are weekly, monthly, quarterly and LEAPs options and the same adjustments would be applied). It is very important to ...

Ever think Sports Betting and "Wall Street" were the same?

Below is the answer, and why You are right. We will make the assumption You have some basic understanding, if even only from a movie or quick news story of Stock Options. We will clarify as best we can about all the similarities. In sports, the strike price is the pointspread, the stock price is the score of the game, the time left to expiration is the time duration of the bet and the implied volatility is the total. Since there is no score before the game starts, a pre-game bet will always be an "At the Money Option". This can change throughout the game as the score changes, the time left in the contract/game changes and the implied volatility/expected amount of scoring/total changes. As with stock options, if you "buy points", that is the same as buying an "In the Money" option which will cost more because the bet now has intrinsic value. Vice versa for selling points. An options contract is made up of stock price, strike price, t...
