What is the result of Arends/Pel vs Bublik/Shang?

Typically, prediction market odds offer a different perspective than those found at traditional sportsbooks. Sportsbooks often incorporate a 'vig' or commission into their odds, while prediction markets aim to reflect the true probabilities as assessed by traders. This can lead to discrepancies, with prediction markets sometimes offering more favorable odds, particularly when there's strong disagreement with the sportsbook's initial assessment. However, as more information becomes available and the event draws closer, the odds on Polymarket and sportsbook odds may converge, reflecting a shared understanding of the likely outcome.
