I try to enrich my teaching by using interesting real life applications such as the use of the horse race betting market in the teaching of statistics.... One of my particular interests is the study of the horse race betting market; my paper with K.L. Rhoda and G.L Olsen, “Risk Preferences and Information Flows in Racetrack Betting Markets” was published in the Journal of Financial Research in 1999. More recently I have been working on a paper on an experiential approach to teaching statistics using the horse race betting market.
