Every figure on this desk, in one place

Ten invented samples carry this desk. This page states each one, shows the arithmetic that produces its figures, and repeats the two conclusions that most of the numbers serve: the picture is behind the price, and the picture is not the result.

Desk spec

samples: 10
figures: in one place
pages: 18
all illustrative: no real event

the pictureA live picture is a licensed broadcast shown beside a market, not a window onto the event. It has an owner, a territory and a cost, and only 96 of 300 events in the month carry one.

the two clocksThe event happens at 0.0 s, the price refreshes at 0.2 s and the picture arrives at 12.0 s, so the number beside the picture is 11.8 seconds newer than the picture it sits beside.

the one sourceThree things describe an event - the picture, the data feed and the official result - and only the official result settles a bet. The picture looked decisive in 96 of 100 disputes and settled none of them.

Direct answer

Everything on this desk derives from ten invented samples: a month of 300 events with 96 streamed, the conditions on those 96, a five-stage delay chain totalling 12.0 seconds, an eight-by-five rights grid with 24 cells cleared, a five-rung quality ladder, a metered delivery cost, a text feed ahead of the picture by 9.5 seconds, a record in which the picture settles nothing, and a seven-day replay window.

Sample A - the month

sample A - events and pictures listed 300 -> streamed 96 -> 96 / 300 = 32.0% no picture 300 - 96 = 204 -> 68.0% the 96 sit entirely in the top two tiers (60 + 24 + 12 = 96 of 180 listed there).

Sample B - the condition

sample B - what the account must have 96 streamed: balance only 50 -> 52.1% a qualifying bet 46 -> 47.9% 0 of 96 ask for neither, and 0 of 96 charge a fee for the stream.

Sample C - the delay

sample C - the five stages and the gap 0.0 + 0.4 + 0.6 + 3.5 + 7.5 = 12.0 s price 0.2 s, so the picture is 11.8 s behind the price and the price refreshes 12.0 / 0.2 = 60 times per picture lag.

Sample D - the rights

sample D - the grid 8 events x 5 territories = 40 cells cleared 24 -> 60.0% blacked 16 -> 40.0% all 16 blacked cells sit in the 4 events cleared in 2 or fewer territories.

Sample E and F - the ladder and the meter

sample E and F - weight and cost bitrate 0.8 / 1.5 / 3.0 / 6.0 / 12.0 Mbps an hour 0.36 / 0.68 / 1.35 / 2.70 / 5.40 GB cost an hour at 0.02 a GB: 0.0072 / 0.0136 / 0.0270 / 0.0540 / 0.1080 a 2 h match at tier 3 = 0.0540 per viewer; 100,000 viewers = 5,400.00

Sample G, H, I and J - the fallback, the record, the replay, the reader

samples G to J G: text 2.5 s, picture 12.0 s -> the text is 9.5 s ahead H: 100 disputes, picture looked decisive 96, picture governed 0 I: a 45 s clip at 3.0 Mbps = 16.9 MB; the window is 7 days J: the reader reacts in 1.4 s -> 13.4 s behind the event, 13.2 s behind the price so every figure on this desk traces back to one of these ten invented sets.

No figure on this page is observed from any event, broadcaster, operator or account. The ten samples are invented and every figure is derived from them; the arithmetic is shown so a reader can re-derive it and check it. The desk names no real product, rates nothing and recommends nothing.
