Sports Prediction Markets vs. Traditional Betting
Traditional sportsbooks set odds with a built-in margin (the “vig” or “juice”), typically 5-10%. Prediction markets are peer-to-peer exchanges where traders set prices — and the effective vig is the bid-ask spread, often under 2%.
How Sports Prediction Markets Work
A market: “Will Team A win the Super Bowl?”
- YES shares at $0.35 = 35% implied probability
- Buy 100 shares for $35
- Team A wins: you receive $100 (profit: $65, return: 186%)
- Team A loses: you lose $35
No bookmaker, no house edge. Just traders expressing views.
