This market, however, is driven by individuals willing to put their capital behind their beliefs, leading to more efficient price discovery. While sportsbooks may initially set odds based on expert analysis, this market continuously adjusts based on actual trading activity, potentially revealing different insights than those found at sportsbooks.
