2. FanDuel 29.9% best price on 102,129 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 2.9% of the prices compared, so on roughly 2.9 in every hundred there was nothing to choose between them.

Does This Mean You Should Bet at Pinnacle?

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. Pinnacle leading FanDuel 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.
