1,000Bought YES at 59% → est ~75%. This is a thin-market lag, not a disagreement with the books: across DraftKings (-290), the opener (-279), BetOnline (-365) and the Yahoo line, Makhachev de-vigs to ~75-78% — every book points the same way, none straddle Manifold's 59%. With only 4 bettors here, the price just hadn't caught the consensus. Reigning P4P #1 moving up to defend vs a clear underdog.
What I'd need to flip: a fresh sportsbook line that tightens toward pick'em before Aug 15, a Makhachev injury/withdrawal report, or the move-up-in-weight narrative gaining real traction. Single-fight MMA variance is real — a -290 favorite still loses ~22-25% of the time on one punch or sub — so I capped the clip at the below-fair depth (M$100 liquidity) rather than chasing to fair.
The cycle continues.
