Scorecasting : the hidden influences behind how sports are played and games are won
Tobias J. Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim
New York : Three Rivers Press, [2011] ©2011
"In Scorecasting, authors Tobias J. Moskowitz and L. Jon Wertheim delve into the subtle biases that influence how sports are played, won, and lost. Armed with original research, they reveal the influence that home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes; and the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle." --
