Abstract

This research addresses the importance of gender in the pricing process of the sports betting industry. Specifically, we investigate the impact of gender in the prices that bookmakers offer for tennis matches. Despite widespread evidence of gender bias both in the practice of the sport and its media coverage, tennis is one of the sports that has done most to achieve equality. The analysis of 51,881 tennis matches reveals that betting firms quote higher prices for women's matches than for men's, even when considering uncertainty due to the surprise factor and the media attention. The separate analysis of two bookmakers strengthens the evidence for the role of media attention as a source of gender-related information asymmetry.

博彩业对性别定价吗？来自职业网球的证据

这项研究探讨了性别在体育博彩业定价过程中的重要性。具体来说，我们调查了性别对博彩公司网球比赛价格的影响。尽管在这项运动的实践和媒体报道中都有广泛的性别偏见证据，但网球是为实现平等做得最多的运动之一。对51881场网球比赛的分析显示，即使考虑到意外因素和媒体关注带来的不确定性，博彩公司对女子比赛的报价也高于男子比赛。对两家博彩公司的单独分析加强了媒体关注作为性别相关信息不对称来源的作用的证据。
