Sport prediction markets

Sports prediction markets let you trade match winners, tournament champions and season outcomes in football, basketball, tennis and other sports. A price of 44¢ for a team means traders give it about a 44% chance. Unlike a fixed bet, you can sell your position at the current price at any moment before the market closes, to lock in a profit or limit a loss.

About Sport odds

How sports odds are set

Prices come from traders, not from a bookmaker's margin. Team news, injuries, form and line-ups move them before the game, and the score moves them during it.

Prediction markets vs bookmaker odds

A bookmaker sets its own odds and builds its margin into them. Here the price is simply where traders agree, and you can sell your position before the end instead of waiting for the final result.

What moves these markets

Line-ups and injuries, recent form, transfers, weather, red cards and goals in live markets.

Sport markets FAQ

What are Sport prediction markets?
Markets where you trade on the outcome of Sport events. Each price, from 1¢ to 99¢, is the crowd's estimate of the chance an outcome happens.
Which Sport markets are most active right now?
What kinds of sports markets can I trade?
Match winners and draws, tournament and league champions, qualification and relegation, player awards and records, and season-long outcomes in football, basketball, tennis, Formula 1, combat sports and more.
Which source decides a sports market?
The official result from the competition or governing body named in the rules, such as the league, the tournament organiser or the sport's federation. The rules also say whether later changes, such as a disqualification after a race or a result overturned on appeal, count.
Do extra time, overtime and penalties count?
It depends on the market, so check the rules. In football, a match winner market usually looks at the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, so extra time and penalties don't count, while a market on who advances or lifts the trophy includes them. In basketball, the final score usually includes overtime.
Can I trade while the match is live?
Yes, while the market is open. Prices move with every goal, red card or break of serve, and you can sell at the current price before the final whistle. The rules state when trading closes. Liquidity can thin out in the last minutes, so check the order book before a large sale.
What if a match is postponed, abandoned or a player retires?
The rules decide. They say how long a match can be postponed before the market is cancelled or voided, what happens if a match is abandoned, and how a retirement or walkover counts in tennis. If the rules call it a draw, Yes and No each pay $0.50.
How are Sport markets resolved?
Each market's rules name the source that decides the result. After the event the result is checked against it, winning shares pay $1, and the balance is usually credited within 4–72 hours. If you think a result is wrong, write to support within 24 hours after settlement. How markets are resolved →
How much can I win or lose?
Each winning share pays $1 in USDC and each losing share pays $0. If the rules call a draw, every share pays $0.50. The most you can lose is what you paid: prediction markets have no leverage and no liquidation. Base trading fees are 0.25% for maker and 0.5% for taker orders, and your rate is shown in the order form before you confirm.
Can I sell before the market closes?
Yes. You can sell at the current price at any time while the market is open. Check the liquidity in the order book first: with few orders near the price, a large sale can fill at a worse average price.
