Sportsbooks set lines to balance action and manage risk, while prediction markets reflect real-time trader consensus without the same profit motive. This market aggregates the collective judgment of participants betting their own capital, which can lead to sharper or more reactive pricing than traditional sportsbooks. Comparing the two reveals whether professional oddsmakers and decentralized traders agree on the likelihood of overtime in this contest.
