If a significant number of people believe a team is more likely to win than sportsbooks suggest, the price will move accordingly. Discrepancies can arise due to differing information, biases, or simply varying interpretations of the teams’ strengths. It’s common to see prediction markets offer more accurate probabilities, particularly closer to the event.
