How the fair value is set

We take a sharp sportsbook's two-sided moneyline, convert each price to a probability, and remove the bookmaker's vig by normalizing the two sides to sum to 1. The result is the market's best public estimate, and where Kalshi diverges from it is the Scopes Divergence.

Scopes Fair Value
:
an independent probability estimate computed from a sharp sportsbook’s de-vigged two-sided moneyline.
Scopes Divergence
:
the difference between the market price and the Scopes Fair Value.

Background reading: how de-vigging a sportsbook line works: why the two sides of a line sum to more than 100%, and how removing the margin turns the odds into a probability. Market structure, not a strategy.
