Iraq vs Norway: Assists

Prediction market odds and sportsbook odds often diverge because they reflect different pricing mechanisms. Sportsbooks set odds to balance their book and manage risk, while prediction markets like this one aggregate trader beliefs through continuous price discovery. Sportsbooks typically incorporate sharp professional action and may adjust lines based on liability, whereas this market lets individual traders directly stake capital on their forecast. Over time, prediction markets can reveal information gaps that sportsbooks haven't yet priced in, though both venues ultimately aim to reflect true probabilities.
