Evil Geniuses Academy vs. FlyQuest: Map 1

Prediction markets and sportsbooks price events differently because they operate under distinct incentive structures. Sportsbooks set odds to balance their book and manage risk, often incorporating a margin. Prediction markets like this one rely on trader consensus—participants stake real capital on outcomes they believe are mispriced. This can lead to sharper, more efficient pricing in prediction markets, though sportsbook odds remain a useful benchmark for comparing how different venues assess the same contest.
