Right now BeatVig prices 57 MLB props at both. Thescorebet is the cheaper side 17% of the time (10 of 57), and ProphetX is cheaper on 43. This is the board as it stands at 10 Oct 15:52 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.
How they differ
Thescorebet is a sportsbook: it posts its own line and keeps its margin inside the two prices. ProphetX is an exchange: traders set the price between themselves and the fee sits outside it. Which of them is cheaper is not a constant and is not something this page asserts: every prop Thescorebet and ProphetX both price right now is converted to the implied probability of the same outcome and counted below, so the answer moves with the two boards rather than with the date this page was written.
Where Thescorebet is cheaper
Counted above: every prop Thescorebet prices lower than ProphetX. Listed below: the ones that also beat a de-vigged fair price, which is the stricter test and the only one worth acting on.
How each one charges
- Thescorebet
- Thescorebet is a sportsbook: it posts its own line and prices both sides itself, taking the other side of the bet rather than matching two users against each other.
- Thescorebet's margin sits inside the two prices rather than arriving as a separate charge, so it is paid on every bet whether that bet wins or loses. The hold measured below is what that costs on the props Thescorebet is quoting right now — add both sides' implied probabilities together and the amount past 100% is the margin on that market.
- BeatVig has not written a coverage note for Thescorebet. What it quotes right now is measured directly from the board below rather than described from memory.
- ProphetX
- ProphetX is a betting exchange: users post the prices and you take the other side of someone else's bet instead of accepting a desk's number.
- ProphetX charges commission on net winnings rather than embedding a margin, so the cost is explicit and only applies when you win.
- ProphetX is live in a limited set of states and its liquidity concentrates on the biggest games and the most-traded player markets.
