Biggest gap on the board: 2.4 pp. After fees, none of it is a trade.

Verdict
No trade.

Everything sits inside model error. Shin and power de-vig alone disagree by up to ~0.6 pp on longshots, so anything under +1 pp is noise.

How it works

Three steps, every morning, before kickoff.

01 · SCAN

Three venues, every game

We pull Kalshi and Polymarket order books and the DraftKings moneyline for every NFL game on the slate.

02 · DE-VIG

Strip the book's margin

DraftKings' vig is removed with a Shin model, not the naive even split that inflates longshots. That gives the fair line.

03 · VERDICT

Net of fees, then a call

Each gap is netted against taker fees and the bid/ask spread. If it doesn't survive, the sheet says so, plainly.

Why trust us

Screens give you prices. We tell you which gap survives fees.

METHOD

Shin de-vig, cross-checked

The lazy method spreads the book's margin evenly and overstates underdogs. We use Shin, with a power de-vig as a cross-check, and show where they disagree.

FEES

Edges are quoted after costs

A gap you can't capture isn't an edge. Every number on the verdict line is net of the venue's taker fee and the spread.

Kalshi taker 0.07 × p × (1−p)
Polymarket NFL 0.03 × p × (1−p)
Edge = DK fair − best ask − fee

Latest board. Saying "no trade" in public is the job.

Fees, spreads and settlement rules differ by venue and change over time. A price gap is not an arbitrage: overtime, ties and postponement rules can settle the same game differently. Check each venue's current rules before acting on anything.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Something missing? Reply to any email, or message @venuedelta on X.

Is this betting advice?

No. Venue Delta is information only and for adults 18+. We publish prices, a fair-line estimate and whether a difference survives fees. We don't tell anyone to place a trade or a bet, and most days the honest answer is "no trade".

What does "pp" mean?

Percentage points of implied win probability. If Kalshi prices Seattle at 59.9% and DraftKings' fair line says 57.5%, the gap is 2.4 pp.

What is de-vigging, and why Shin?

Sportsbook odds include a margin (the "vig"), so the two sides add up to more than 100%. De-vigging removes it to get a fair probability. The common shortcut splits the margin evenly, which overstates underdogs. The Shin model allocates it the way books actually shade prices, so the fair line is closer to reality. We cross-check with a power de-vig.

Are these arbitrage opportunities?

Almost never. After taker fees and the spread, most gaps disappear. And venues can settle the same game differently (overtime, ties, postponements). A gap is not an arb, and we flag settlement differences when they matter.

Can I use these venues where I live?

That depends on your location. Kalshi and DraftKings serve the US (DraftKings only in states where it's licensed), and Polymarket's international exchange is not available to US persons. Check the rules that apply to you. We don't help anyone get around them.

When does the email arrive?

By 9:00 AM ET (16:00 Kyiv) on NFL game-day mornings, about three times a week in season. Pro adds a daily board and real-time alerts.

Why is Pro a waitlist?

We're still setting up checkout. Rather than take money early, we're holding founders pricing ($19/mo for the first 100, then $29/mo) for people on the list. Joining costs nothing and doesn't commit you.

Who's behind Venue Delta?

An independent, one-person data project based in Kyiv, Ukraine. No sportsbook, exchange or affiliate network pays us or shapes what we publish.
