Barcelona has won 19 in la liga. It is more than the sum of wins in Málaga,Almeria,Levante and Racing. Game imbalance is common in professional sport. Gini coefficient is used in economics to measure the inequality of income.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient)
The basic concept for the Gini coefficient is that value 0 is no inequality and 1 is maximum inequality.
I think game imbalance is like inequality of income so I calculated the Gini coefficient in some professional sport. The wins replace the income and I ignored the draw and lose.
Baseball U.S. MLB AL 2010 =>0.072
Basketball U.S. NBA Jun/30/2011 =>0.198
Soccer German BUNDESLIGA Feb/11/2011 =>0.201
Soccer England PREMIER LEAGUE Feb/11/2011 =>0.204
Soccer Spain La liga Jun/30/3011 =>0.267
