Odds Movement

Also called: Shortening, Drifting, Steam

Prices move as money arrives and as the match state changes, reflecting the market's changing opinion.

A price that falls is "shortening" (the market thinks the outcome is more likely); a price that rises is "drifting" (less likely). Movement reflects the market's changing opinion, not a prediction you can rely on.

Reading price shifts

Shortening2.10 → 1.95 (47.6% → 51.3% implied)
Drifting2.10 → 2.30 (47.6% → 43.5% implied)

In this demo

The ticker bar sits at the top of every page and shows each price with a directional arrow, flashing briefly whenever it changes; clicking a ticker item opens that match's watch-along room. Movement is simulated, not a real feed.
