Dylan Evans
Dylan Evans, who created the Projection Point website (ProjectionPoint.com), together with his friend Benjamin Jakobus, has told Casino Online that his research and website, which offers the general public the chance to find out their “risk intelligence”, may aid the banking and finance industry, as well as other job sectors.
Evans believes he may have found that expert gamblers have a “higher than average” ability to accurately estimate probabilities, when compared with the general public. The University College Cork academic has also invited web users to test their own risk intelligence by taking part in a short survey on ProjectionPoint.com. Through the test, participants can learn whether they’re under-confident or over-confident when it comes to estimating the falsity, or truth behind trivia statements. The academic has also suggested that the banking industry could also use Evans’ calibration curve-based test to “monitor the performance of junior traders and see where they’re going wrong”.
However, as Evans admits, while he is keen to find out the risk intelligence of hedge fund managers and other senior figures in finance, those within the banking industry are “understandably, a bit hesitant” to take part. Find out more about how Evan’s research could aid the banking industry and other employment sectors by reading our Dylan Evans interview.
