Seems like something that can be crowdsourced cheaply since so many people are watching the sports shows for free anyway.

They are also betting and why shouldn't they publish results that would let them win even if that's not the correct result ?

One could argue that the masses would always return the correct score but imagine 50 people debating about sports, there are 50 opinions and the truth somewhere in between.

And therefore those people also called 'scouts' must be trained in order to accomplish the job.
