From the Guardian's data blog, here are links to the data you'll need for office pools in 2013 (well, not the March madness one). Oscar winners? Look at the Golden Globe nominations. UEFA Champions League final? There is a graph showing which clubs the top 100 players come from. The sex of the royal baby? Well, there's no data but at least you can look at the odds before you bet. There's more: Portuguese bond redemption and interest payments are due in September, so the column examines government debt compared to GDP. And that's not to mention the Booker Prize and the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Guardian's Data Blog
I have been having a good time this week exploring the Guardian's data blog. Some of my favorite entries:
This post asking for readers' thoughts about fundraising in the US presidential campaign.
An entry explaining how to win the Booker Prize - in charts. (That's a screenshot, above.) The charts encompass what happens to an author's sales after winning or even being shortlisted.
Olympics data.
And this stats quiz that "tests your vulnerability to spin." I got 4 out of 5 - how did you do? I should have re-examined this post, but instead I got lazy.
