ABOUT THE EPISODE
What separates skill from luck, and can we actually measure the difference?
Gregory Bond, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Americas at Man Group, joins Wharton Moneyball to discuss his research on competitive balance across sports, measuring skill versus chance, and the surprising parallels between sports analytics and investing. The conversation explores everything from the NFL and NBA to European soccer, along with how investors can think about performance, prediction, and uncertainty.

Wharton experts Eric Bradlow, Shane Jensen, Cade Massey, and Adi Wyner team up to tackle the world of sports, from current events to longstanding issues such as: What sports streaks are the most impressive? How do you rank the best players? Can athletes be compared across sports? Moneyball Highlights explains how decision-makers in the game can avoid the common mistakes and embrace the data.
