Sportsbook Odds Report: October 2026
How It Works
How often each book had the best price in October 2026, from every price we recorded. Read the answer first, then the full table.
Novig was at or tied for the best available price more often than any other venue with unaffected pricing in October 2026, leading on 55.5% of the 387,488 sides it quoted, which were 4.7% of every price recorded that month. Pinnacle was second at 35.3% of 513,114 sides, then LowVig at 24.0% of 385,078 sides.
Sample: 8,248,090 recorded prices across 20 sportsbooks and prediction markets, 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-31 (31 days with recorded scans).
Which Sportsbook Had the Best Odds Most Often in October 2026?
Best-price share is the share of the sides a venue quoted where its price was at or tied for the highest payout of every venue quoting that same side. Each venue is measured against its own coverage, so a book that prices fewer games is not penalised for the games it skipped. Sample size is listed for every row because the denominators differ.
Coverage is the share of every price recorded this month that came from that venue. It is the check on the share beside it: a high best-price share on low coverage means the venue won most of the few sides it chose to quote, not that it beat the market. With 20 venues recording prices, an even split would put each near 5.0%.

Do Prediction Markets Beat Sportsbooks on Price?
October 2026, measured the same way on both sides. Each group's denominator is the sides its own members actually quoted, so this is not distorted by the exchanges covering fewer games.
| Venue Type | Venues | Sides Quoted | At or Tied for Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prediction markets (Novig, ProphetX, Kalshi, Polymarket US) | 4 | 1,325,198 | 20.7% |
| Traditional sportsbooks | 16 | 6,922,892 | 15.7% |
Exchange prices in this comparison are fee-adjusted: Kalshi and Polymarket US include each venue's taker fee and ProphetX its commission on winning bets, so an exchange number is what a taker actually pays. We publish this comparison and not a "share of all best prices" figure, because best-price credit is shared among tied venues, which would hand the larger group an advantage that is an artefact of counting rather than of pricing.

What Was the Widest Price Gap of the Month?
The largest single moneyline gap recorded in October 2026 was 12.9 percentage points of implied probability, on Ball State Cardinals at Georgia Southern Eagles (NCAAB). Fanatics paid -125 on Ball State Cardinals, where Kalshi paid -217.
Drawn from 49,384 gap observations recorded in October 2026. This is a single recorded scan, not an average.
How Is This Measured, and What Does It Not Measure?
On every scan we record each venue's price on both sides of every game, then count how often each venue was at or tied for the highest payout on a side it quoted. Ties credit every venue holding the top price, so a book that consistently matches the market's best is not scored as though it lost. The full arithmetic, including how prediction-market fees are applied before any comparison, is on the methodology page.
This is best-or-tied share of each venue's own quoted sides. It is not the matched-lines metric. Because the denominator is only the sides a venue chose to quote, this measure rewards selective quoting: a venue that prices a narrow slice of the market and skips the rest can post a high share without ever beating the field on a like-for-like bet. That is what the coverage column beside each figure is there to expose.
The stricter measure, and this site's single source of truth for who actually has the best prices, is matched lines: it keeps only the games where every venue in the comparison quoted the same market at the same line, and ranks who won the price on those. It discards far more data and is much harder to lead. On that measure the exchanges do not lead, and no book dominates. The live matched-lines view is on Book Comparison, and the reasoning is set out in the correction of July 26, 2026. Where the two measures disagree, matched lines is the one to believe.
Data: 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-31. Generated November 15, 2026 at 05:10 PM ET. October 2026 has closed, so this report is final and is not revised.
The Odds Gap publishes where the same bet paid more. It does not sell picks and makes no income claims. Always verify a price at the book before placing any bet.
