What Are Market Inefficiencies?
When sportsbooks misprice odds due to:
- Sharp action not adjusting lines yet
- Overreactions to public sentiment
- Lack of up-to-date information
Key Takeaway
These are opportunities to find value bets before the market corrects.
1 What is an Off-Market Line?
A line that's different from consensus odds across most sportsbooks.
Example
Book A: Team A -3.5
Book B: Team A -2.5 ⭐
Off-market line is better — less risk, higher value!
