Tennis pre-match vs live odds difference is insane lately

Past 2 months seeing crazy patterns in tennis odds:
Same exact match situation:
Pre-match: -150
Live (identical scenario): -230
No injury, no momentum shift, nothing changed in play. Spotting this across all major books. Australian Open qualifiers especially wild. Market efficiency gone or books changing models?
 
Been watching tennis 15+ years, started betting last season. These live odds make zero sense compared to what I see on court. Remember that Alcaraz match at US Open? -180 pre-match, suddenly -400 live after literally nothing happened. Now same stuff happening in qualifiers.
 
Some context from past season:
US Open 2024: Average live odds shift +125%
ATP Finals: +180% movement standard
Current AO qualifiers: +200% regular
Key factor: No correlation with actual play changes
 
December ATP finals were ridiculous. Watching with bf, odds changed before points even finished on our stream
 
Key issues identified:
  1. Streaming delays 20-45 seconds
  2. Court-side data variations
  3. Different feed providers
  4. Shot clock impact on pace
Books compensating with aggressive live odds
 
Recent market changes:
  • 6 major books limited tennis live
  • 4 increased margins 300%
  • 2 stopped certain tournaments
  • All show pre-point odds movement
