Who will win the 2nd quarter?

If a significant disparity exists, arbitrage opportunities may emerge, where traders can profit by simultaneously betting on both the prediction market and a sportsbook. However, it’s important to note that sportsbooks and prediction markets have different costs and incentives, leading to variations.
