Sport vs Market - Which has more pure outcomes ?

[THEfightsAREfixed]

Many former major league players have claimed big games have pre-decided outcomes or manufactured ones (such as Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Dwight Smith, Evan Turner and Andre Iguodala), whether it is by scripting, refs, or turning the lights out for a while and doing weird stuff in the middle of the game etc.

In markets we can point to JayPee Morgz who was fined 920m for precious metals market manipulation, or the 1980s Hunt bros silver corner attempt, the juice, and so on and so forth.

So in your opinion which is more "real" or has the more organic outcome dependency (is human manipulation of market outcomes "inorganic" ? - bonus meta question) ?

Markets, talking about the US or globally?

Markets, talking about the US or globally?

Globally for sure have to include china messing with gold

Sports most of the time, but sports is a specific type of market. They aren't mutually exclusive like the question implies.

The lower barrier to entry for most sports alone is a huge difference from stock markets or non-sport white collar professions.

So what are you need money to get in sports?

Hockey, golfing, polo...

Tennis maybe?

Which is more predictable; a sport or a market ?

Are activities with more organic outcomes more or less predictable with historical serial analysis, trends or whatever ?
