Sportsbooks may shade odds toward popular outcomes to manage risk, whereas this market prices outcomes based on what participants actually believe will happen. Over time, prediction markets have proven competitive with or more accurate than bookmaker lines, especially when liquidity is robust and traders have strong information.
