Sportsbooks set lines based on their own models and aim to balance action on both sides, while this market allows anyone to express their belief about the outcome. It’s common to see differences emerge, especially as new information becomes available or public sentiment shifts. Examining these differences can be insightful, but remember that both represent probabilities as perceived by different groups.
