This market aggregates the views of thousands of independent participants with direct financial exposure, which can reveal insights sportsbooks may not yet price in. Comparing this market's odds to major sportsbook lines can highlight where consensus differs and uncover potential value, though both sources remain imperfect forecasts of the actual outcome.
