Novig is saying goodbye to American odds on its sports prediction market and transitioning to percentages, a move that will change the way bettors interact with the platform.

CEO Jacob Fortinsky announced the shift to percentages via a social media post, sharing that Novig introduced an odds calculator to assist users in transitioning smoothly from American odds to percentages.

On Novig, -110 American odds now convert to a percentage of 52.4%, offering a different perspective on betting outcomes for users while still maintaining a competitive edge in payouts.

The move away from American odds comes after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) advised prediction markets to discontinue using American odds as a pricing methodology for sports derivatives.

Financial Market Insight

While American odds are the norm in U.S. sports betting, percentages are a key component of global financial markets. Fortinsky emphasized the importance of percentages for Novig’s evolution into a financial market-oriented platform.

Novig’s transition to percentages aligns with traditional financial market practices, providing a familiar framework for bettors and traders. This approach could attract institutional investors and professional traders looking for a more sophisticated betting experience.

Novig’s Progress

Novig’s shift to percentages is just one of the recent developments for the platform. With the nationwide expansion of its sports prediction market, Novig is becoming a strong competitor in the growing prediction market industry.

As reported by Casino.org earlier this week, Novig’s daily trading volume is already surpassing that of established competitors like DraftKings’ DKeX and Underdog.

As college football season begins, Novig plans to enhance brand recognition and customer acquisition efforts, setting the stage for continued growth and success in the prediction market space.
