This market, however, allows participants to directly express their beliefs about the probability of each map being selected, potentially leading to odds that more accurately reflect the true likelihood of an outcome. Discrepancies between prediction market prices and sportsbook odds can present opportunities for arbitrage, though these are often short-lived.
