When do Investors Care About sportsbet Performance?
We revisit some of the most fundamental questions in the mutual sportsbet literature using relatively high-frequency data on sportsbet flows and returns. We show that weekly flows significantly respond to a single day of performance. More surprisingly, this flow-performance sensitivity is mainly driven by days with heightened investor attention, which we show to be days with unusually low market returns („bad days“) using a novel dataset of traffic to financial websites. Further, in contrast to existing evidence at lower frequencies, flows respond to both out- and underperformance on bad days. These bad day flows represent smart money, because bad day outperformance is persistent and contributes significantly to unconditional sportsbet outperformance. In turn, this persistence reveals specific bad day skill that we argue to be different from general managerial skill. Overall, the marginal sportsbet investor at higher frequency rewards sportsbet managers with specific bad day skill, which highlights the importance of studying the interaction between sportsbet and market returns for understanding the mutual sportsbet market.
