What is the result of Rostik Team vs. Stray Team?

If a large number of traders believe an outcome is more likely than implied by sportsbook odds, the price will move accordingly. Discrepancies can arise due to differing information, biases, or simply varying levels of market participation. It's common to see this market offer different probabilities than traditional betting venues.
