Home bias in sport betting: Evidence from Czech betting market
Journal Title: Judgment and Decision Making - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
In sport betting, bettors exhibit home bias when they tend to bet on their home team more often. The paper offers a straightforward method of empirical identification of the home bias in the real-world betting market. Using Czech betting data on the league and the national ice-hockey matches, the paper provides support for the existence of the home bias in the Czech betting market.
