Margins and best-price rates for every book we track

The draw-no-bet market for Sheffield Wednesday vs Bolton Wanderers (EFL Cup) shows a split: at 45 hours before the match, Ladbrokes AU is quoting decimal odds of 2.70 on one side, a 7.3% premium over where 3 independent sharp sources have clustered their consensus estimate. The gap persists as of writing.

This pricing sits 3.1 standard deviations from the cluster—statistical distance that points to genuine disagreement rather than routine market variation.

The consensus fair value rests on input from 3 separate sharp operators, anchoring the theoretical target against a single book's quote.

Our Playbook identifies 2 historical configurations matching this signal type. The best-performing variant has delivered +7.4% ROI across its settled bets.

In this market category, pricing dislocations of this scale have typically closed within roughly 36 hours as the spread contracts toward consensus.
