Bloomberg has beaten ESPN, Goldman Sachs, PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Financial Times with its World Cup soccer picks.
The Streema blog writes, “What does a sports network like ESPN, an accounting firm like PwC, and a banking powerhouse like Goldman Sachs have in common? Not much, other than they all made predictions for this World Cup.
“Just for fun, we looked at how these predictions faired in the Group Phase that recently wrapped up. We analyzed each of the predictions from these three organizations as well as for Bloomberg, The Economist, and Yahoo.
