Sharp bookmaker

A sharp bookmaker prices markets efficiently and accepts large bets, so its odds are a strong benchmark for fair value.

Sharp books run tight margins, move on informed money and rarely restrict winners. Their prices, like the exchange's, are a good estimate of true probability, which makes them a benchmark for value models.

A feed that carries both sharp references and softer books lets a product measure value as the gap between them.

OddsRelay delivers this as part of one already-matched feed. See live coverage on the coverage dashboard.
