Who runs Fanatics
Operator: FBG Enterprises Opco, LLC (d/b/a Fanatics Betting & Gaming).
Availability: licensed in US.
In the last 90 days, Fanatics posted the board-leading price on 601 signals flagged by Omenizer's detection engine.
The margin is the bookmaker's built-in fee: the amount by which its implied probabilities exceed 100%. A 6.78% margin means that, on a typical Fanatics market, prices pay out 6.78% less than a fair-value book would. Omenizer's fair prices remove this margin using sharp reference sources — the methodology explains how.
