Time Inconsistency and Uncertainty Aversion in Prediction Markets

Starting from first principles we derive a method for detecting price biases in prediction market data. Using this method on Tradesports contracts from the 2005-06 NBA season, we demonstrate that trades executed in the last hour of trading have a significant longshot price bias, while trades occurring earlier do not. We present a new theoretical model which uses uncertainty aversion to explain our findings.
