UPDATE: I just got it that Professor Leighton Vaughan-Williams’s story and the BetFair compound chart published on top of his story should be understood independently from each other, as this chart was pasted there by the BetFair blog editor.

Apology to Professor Leighton Vaughan-Williams, to BetFair, and to my readers.
THE BETFAIR BLOG DID PUBLISH A CHART, ACTUALLY.
I didn’t flag it correctly, at the time. This chart background is too grey. The lines are too fine. And their colors are not vivid enough (as compared with InTrade’s compound charts). Plus, the “When Saturday comes” label is uninformative. Bad usability. My eyes saw that damn image yesterday… but my brain couldn’t figure out it was a chart.

UPDATE: The BetFair blog has added a new label on the infamous compound chart…

NEXT: Did the BetFair blog use trading data from InTrade to hint at BetFair’s accuracy??
But where is the alleged surge of support for Romney reflected?
One suspects that he only became fav after the early results were coming in; which is of no particular surprise.
For a Professor, Vaughan William is very lose with his terms and I am not sure that his analysis of the situation is thorough enough to be taken seriously.
