''GamesBids.com'' is an Olympic bid news and information web site created in Toronto, Canada, by Robert Livingstone. The goal of the site, which was originally named Torontosummergames.com, was to follow the bid by the city of Toronto to organize the Games of the XXIXth Olympiad in 2008. After Beijing was eventually elected to host the Olympic Games, the site continued to operate, generally addressing and analysing the overall Olympic bid business. The site has also been the source of a few scoops, for instance when one of the forum members discovered the trademark filing of the Beijing 2008 logo, providing the information before it was due to be released to the public. Many international websites, newspapers, and news stations have mentioned Gamesbids in connection to the Olympic Movement, for instance the ''International Herald Tribune'' and The New York Times that wrote "GamesBids.com, an influential, independent Web site based in Canada that looks at the business of the bidding process." GamesBids.com is also well-respected by key industry insiders. Baku 2020 Olympic bid chief Konul Nurullayeva said "GamesBids" is one of the most influential websites that disseminate information about the preparation for the Olympics, the election process and the candidate-cities." ==BidIndex== The site publishes and regularly updates the BidIndex, an Olympic bid rating system in which the relative strength of the different bids and their chances of succeeding is measured. The BidIndex was correct when it predicted Beijing, though wrong with Vancouver, London and Sochi. The prediction model is further enhanced after each bid. BidIndex has accurately predicted the last four elected host cities, including Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Pyeongchang for the 2018 Winter Olympics, Tokyo for the 2020 Summer Olympics and Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics.〔(GamesBids.com - BidIndex ) - 2015-07-31〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GamesBids」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
