A fantasy sports company commissioned a study to assess which sports/contests had outcome related most/least to skill of participant versus chance. (part of their battle to avoid being designated gambling). A professor crunched the numbers, with a condition they would release her study no matter how it turned out.

Flipping a coin was most random, with skill of participant playing no part. Playing the stock market was very close to the coin flip. Hockey, baseball, football, etc. were spread along the spectrum.

The outcome of professional cycling was the most based on the skill of the participant. There are no fluke winners.
