Obviously 538 is not the barometer to use for intra-game odds, or any odds. The actual betting markets are.

And why is that?

I can see that the live betting markets will have faster response time to in-game data:

538 Live win probabilities

While games are being played, our interactive graphic displays a box for each one that shows updating win probabilities for both teams, as well as the score and the time remaining. These probabilities are derived using logistic regression analysis, which lets us plug the current state of a game into a model to produce the probability that either team will win the game. Specifically, we used play-by-play data from the past five seasons of Division I NCAA basketball to fit a model that incorporates:

  • Time remaining in the game
  • Score difference
  • Pregame win probabilities
  • Which team has possession, with a special adjustment if the team is shooting free throws
The model doesn’t account for everything, however. If a key player has fouled out of a game, for example, the model doesn’t know, and his or her team’s win probability is probably a bit lower than what we have listed. There are also a few places where the model experiences momentary uncertainty: In the handful of seconds between the moment when a player is fouled and the free throws that follow, for example, we use the team’s average free-throw percentage to adjust its win probability. Still, these probabilities ought to do a reasonably good job of showing which games are competitive and which are essentially over.
Also displayed in the box for each game is our “excitement index” (check out the lower-right corner) — that number also updates throughout a game and can give you a sense of when it’ll be most fun to tune in. Loosely based on Brian Burke’s NFL work, the index is a measure of how much each team’s chances of winning have changed over the course of the game.
The calculation behind this feature is the average change in win probability per basket scored, weighted by the amount of time remaining in the game. This means that a basket made late in the game has more influence on a game’s excitement index than a basket made near the start of the game. We give additional weight to changes in win probability in overtime. Values range from 0 to 10, although they can exceed 10 in extreme cases.

And why is that?

Because live lines being dealt by sportsbooks are far more efficient than a mathematical model being used by their website.

If 538's #'s were more accurate than live lines then they would just make millions of dollars exploiting this by betting on sports. Or their followers would.

Yup... Agreed. I can see that now, I wasn't fully sure what 538 was using to feed it's %'s... For all I knew,
it could have been using betting data...
