The model's call
Cleveland Cavaliers to win
Model confidence 74.9%
Books consensus 74.9%
Identical on purpose: the model applies no adjustment to the de-vigged consensus of the books and Novig, a no-cut exchange, until a candidate signal proves itself in shadow audit — none has yet. Kalshi and Polymarket below are a comparison, not an input.

Prediction markets vs the books

Every venue sells the same thing — a dollar if that side wins — at a different price. Implied cost per venue below; amber = the cheapest way to buy that side right now.

Venue Cleveland CavaliersMilwaukee Bucks
Books consensus fair, de-vigged 74.9% 25.1%
Best book price incl. vig 76.5% 24.0%
Kalshi contract price 75.4% 24.6%

Contract prices exclude exchange trading fees (Kalshi ~1–2¢ midrange), which narrow small gaps. A venue meaningfully below the books consensus is either a bargain or an early opinion — the graded record decides which.
