What it means

This is the plumbing of a live prediction market: prices refresh on the order of tens of seconds and step in roughly two-cent increments, not big jumps. On the WNBA board the market's built-in spread (overround) sits near a penny at the median (0.01), which is how thin the quoted vig is.

Caveats & confounds

Labelled a market-microstructure MEASUREMENT (latency/cadence), NOT a trading signal; sample is small (21 MLB quote tracks over 5 files; 2 WNBA files). The model-vs-market divergence figure in this artifact is a calibration-gap measurement, not an edge.
