It’s common to see discrepancies between the two, particularly in events with high uncertainty or where subjective factors play a significant role. This market can provide a valuable counterpoint to conventional wisdom, potentially identifying overlooked possibilities or highlighting areas where analysts may be overly optimistic or pessimistic.
