What you are saying here is correct although I have the following questions:
- Why is not possible to create "contrarian concepts" ( I like the term!) based on the existing data? After all these are the data that dictate the formation of the pools and they must be responsible for the existence of betting inefficiencies.
- What is the source of the (potentially unstructured) data to use? Are they the product of web search (including social data like twiter of fb for example) or they require custom collection meaning dedicated on site observers?
