Efficiency in the NFL betting market: modifying and consolidating research methods

William Dare and A. Steven Holland

Applied Economics, 2004, vol. 36, issue 1, 9-15

Abstract: Modifying and consolidating previous research methods to generate more reliable estimates, some fairly weak evidence is found of inefficiency in the NFL betting market resulting from a bias favouring home underdog (against away favourite) teams. In contrast to previous research, no evidence is found that 'momentum strategies' generate significant returns in this market.
