Barry Ritholtz: The 'Wisdom of Crowds' Is Not That Wise

FYI: Paddy Power Plc said it was left “red-faced” after paying out early to gamblers who incorrectly bet that Greek voters would back an austerity referendum. Ireland’s biggest bookmaker “paid out five figures” in winnings on July 1, days before Greece rejected further austerity, with a larger-than-forecast 61 percent of the vote for the “no” campaign. - Paddy Power Left ‘Red Faced’ After Early Payout on Greek Vote.
