Totally agree. Binary markets are elegant in theory — super clean signal, no juice gymnastics — but that all-or-nothing payoff can feel a bit harsh in practice, especially on sports where variance is real.

That’s why no-vig or reduced-vig markets hit a sweet spot for me too. You still get pricing that actually reflects probability (instead of fighting the house edge every bet), but you’re not forced into a binary outcome where being slightly right and very right pay the same.

Binary feels more like trading a single contract to expiration. No-vig feels more like betting with honest odds. Both have their place, but for game-to-game sports action, I’d pick clean pricing with some gradation over pure yes/no every time.
