Prediction Market
Play against real people on a commission-free exchange. Prices are set by the market (not the house). 21+, location-based access, no purchase necessary. This is the closest experience to a sportsbook in states without sportsbooks, but it’s legally
distinct via sweepstakes rules. Novig operates in FL under this model.

‍DFS
‍Lineups/projections contests are widely offered in FL; the state hasn’t passed a DFS law, but operators serve FL users.

‍Social / Sweepstakes “sportsbooks”
‍Dual-currency apps with no-purchase-necessary paths that emulate betting UX while using sweepstakes rules instead of sportsbook licenses. Novig is in this family but specifically a player-to-player prediction market (exchange) rather than fixed-odds pick’em.

Hard Rock Bet

Real-Game Price Proofs (Why Novig Beats -110)

‍In active markets, Novig’s player-to-player pricing clusters near even money. That means you risk less for the same win than a -110 book line.

Proof A - SNF fills concentrate near even money
- 90% of fills at -102 or better within 3 hours of kickoff
- Why it matters: At -102, a $100 stake wins $98.04 vs $90.91 at -110 (≈ +7 - 8% more on wins).

SNF fills by price (T-3h -> kickoff). Volume peaks at -101/-100.
‍
Proof B - MNF spread priced tighter than -110
- 94% of fills at -102 or better on BAL -4.5 / DET +4.5
- Why it matters: Competition between traders compresses spreads; you keep more of your edge.

MNF fills cluster -101 to +101; minimal volume at -110.

Quick math table:
‍At -110: Stake 100 -> win 90.91
At -102: Stake 100 -> win 98.04 (≈ +7.8%)
At -101: Stake 100 -> win 99.01 (≈ +8.9%)‍

Prediction Markets vs Sportsbooks

Who you face:
- Prediction market: other users

How Prices Form:
- Prediction market: Market competition
- Sportsbook: House vig baked into lines

What you pay:
- Prediction market (Novig): commission-free exchange (you keep 100% of winnings; standard third-party fees may apply)
- Sportsbook: Books that price in a margin

Result:
- In active markets, user driven pricing can, and typically does, produce more favorable prices than fixed book odds. SNF fills by price (T-3h -> kickoff). Volume peaks at -101/-100.
