What is the result of Mertens/Shnaider vs Perez/Schuurs?

Typically, prediction market odds reflect the wisdom of the crowd and can differ from traditional sportsbook odds. Sportsbooks set lines based on their own models and aim to profit by balancing action on both sides, while this market aggregates the beliefs of many individual traders. If a significant number of traders believe a sportsbook is mispricing an outcome, the prediction market odds will likely move in the opposite direction. Discrepancies can arise due to differing information, biases, or simply varying levels of market efficiency. It's common to see prediction markets outperform sportsbooks over time, especially for well-defined events.
