Severe divergence exists. The prediction market assigns an equal ~50% championship probability to every CBA team (including bottom-tier ones), inflating the total probability pool to 1000%. Mainstream sports media and actual league standings clearly indicate that the 2025-2026 championship race is strictly confined to a few elite teams like Shanghai, Zhejiang Lions, Guangdong, and Liaoning. The current market prices are completely irrational and likely the result of a technical glitch or broken market-making algorithms.
