摘要
We discover mispricing in an apparently transparent market the European soccer betting market. Efficiency differences between countries are accounted for by variations in league competitiveness. We conclude that barriers to efficiency (e.g., risk evaluation problems) may remain in transparent markets. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
