ODDSMAKER

Hi,

I have been watching my alert windows, and as soon as a stock comes in the alert window, I then immediately get a quote for that stock from my online brokerage...

It seems that the price the oddsmaker is saying the alert went off at, is different then the price the stock was trading at...

Thus, can you plz clarify:

1) What price does the oddsmaker use (bid, ask, last)?
2) Does the oddmsmaker actually record every "tick?"
3) If an alert went off at 10:32 and 21 seconds, does the oddsmaker refer to the EXACT price at 10:32 and 21 seconds?

Just trying to understand why there is such a discrepancy.

Thanks.
