What is the exact final score of Gotham FC vs. Washington Spirit?

Prediction market odds and sportsbook odds often diverge because they reflect different participant bases and incentive structures. Sportsbooks set lines to balance action and protect their margin, while prediction markets aggregate the beliefs of traders risking real capital. For this market, prediction market participants may price exact scores differently than traditional oddsmakers, especially for less-common outcomes. Comparing the two can reveal where one venue sees value the other has missed. However, both ultimately converge toward the true probability as new information emerges and bettors exploit mispricings.
