Experiments with the Lichtman forecasting procedure in the sport segment

Abstract

This article deals with predicting the results of sport games in the selected sports segments. The Potůček (2006) quantitative and qualitative predicting methods (Štědroň, 2012, 2014, 2015) offer many procedures and models. The method of Allan Lichtman, which was tested in the USA during the presidential election, was chosen for our experiment. The method was modified for the sports segment. Preliminary results demonstrate that the analysed method can become a basis for forecasting in sports.
