Notes

A Comment

We note the recurrence of errors in specifying an econometric proxy for short-run uncertainty of outcome in sporting fixtures. This research note aims to prevent the spread of these errors because they are becoming embedded in a growing literature. The note also suggests how investigators might more usefully define uncertainty of outcome.

Key Words: uncertainty of outcome • betting odds • league performance
