Sports Market Observatory

Sports-market movement, visualized.

Sports Market Observatory tracks how betting markets change before games and turns those shifts into clear, timestamped visual stories.

Recent market visuals

What the market looked like before the game.

Recent examples show what moved, when it moved, and how much market coverage was captured.

Current example

What we track

One clear market story at a time.

Pre-game probability movement

How aggregate market-implied chances shift before start time.

Market flips and tightening

When the leader changes, or a matchup moves toward a tighter field.

Futures probability fields

How championship probability mass moves across the field.

Three-outcome match-result fields

How win, draw, and opponent states change before start time.

How it works

How the trace is built.

We normalize prices across multiple books into aggregate implied probabilities, then chart how that consensus changes before start time.
