Profitable Strategies in Horse Race Betting Markets
In this paper we discuss a way to construct a strategy of betting that can generate abnormal returns in horse race betting markets. Using the theory of discrete choice models and Generalised Additive Models one can build a model to predict the probability of a given horse winning a given race. The paper further discusses the Kelly betting system as a way of exploiting estimates of winning proba...
متن کاملChance constrained optimization for parimutuel horse race betting
We consider the time horizon of a gambler in the optimization of horse race betting through the use of chance constrained programming. The optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear program for which global optimal solutions are found using optimization tools. A novel approach to estimating superfecta payouts is presented using maximum likelihood estimation. A computational...
متن کاملPlanned Versus Actual Betting in Sequential Gambles
Anecdotal evidence suggests that in a gambling environment consumers may end up betting more than they had initially planned. We assess this phenomenon pertaining to the possible differences between planned and actual behavior using sequential and fair gambles in a two-stage process (planned and actual bets). The results show that in the planning phase, people behave conservatively, betting on ...
متن کاملThe interface development for machine shop simulation
Modelling and simulation technology is recognized for facilitating training, reducing production cost, improving product quality, and shortening development time. However, this technology remains largely underutilized by industry today. This is because custom simulator development is complex and costly, and custom translators are needed to run commercial simulation software. Information models ...
متن کاملOn Machine Dependency in Shop Scheduling
One of the main restrictions in scheduling problems are the machine (resource) restrictions: each machine can perform at most one job at a time. We explore machine dependencies is shop scheduling problems representing them as graphs. Our study shows that the structure of machine dependency graphs is important in the complexity analysis of shop scheduling problems. We call acyclic a shop schedul...
