2. BetMGM 53.1% best price on 33,807 matched markets

What This Number Means

A market counts here only when both books quoted that same side of that same game at the same line. Anything either book skipped is thrown out, so neither is credited for coverage the other did not have. That is the whole point: it is the only way to compare two books on price rather than on how many markets they choose to post.

Where both books posted the identical number, both are counted as best, which is why the two percentages sum above 100. On this pair that overlap is 126.4% of markets, so on roughly 126.4 markets in every hundred there was nothing to choose between them.

Does This Mean You Should Bet at DraftKings?

No, and the site's whole position is the opposite. No single book has the best odds, and the leader depends entirely on which books you compare: this page is that argument at two books. DraftKings leading BetMGM says nothing about either against a third book, and the best price on any individual game routinely sits somewhere else again. The useful move is to hold both and take whichever is better on the bet you actually want.
