Prophet Exchange

Prophet Exchange is the first fully regulated peer-to-peer sports betting exchange in the United States. Launching first in New Jersey, it allows bettors to set their own prices (odds) or accept prices set by others, bypassing the high margins (vig) charged by traditional sportsbooks. This often results in significantly better value for the bettor.

The platform empowers users to act as the "house," offering odds on NFL, NBA, and NHL games. Prophet charges a small commission only on net winnings, making it a cheaper alternative for sharp bettors. It is a legitimate pioneer in the US market, bringing the exchange model (popularized by Betfair in the UK) to American shores.
