What are prediction markets?
Prediction markets let you trade on the outcome of real-world events — elections, Fed decisions, crypto prices, sports, awards and more. You buy and sell YES/NO contracts priced from 1¢ to 99¢, and that price is the market’s live estimate of how likely the outcome is. A contract at 62¢ implies about a 62% chance; if it resolves yes each contract settles at $1, and if not, $0.
Because prices are set by real money on both sides, they tend to update faster than polls or pundits and double as a real-time probability tracker. On WouldYouBet you can browse every live market by theme, see what each contract means, and jump to the regulated exchange that lists it.
What can you trade?
The deepest categories are politics (control of Congress, nominations, elections), economics (Fed rate decisions, CPI, recession calls), crypto (Bitcoin price levels, ETF approvals, IPOs) and sports (championships, playoffs, individual games). Culture, tech & AI and world events round out the board — browse any category above to see its live odds.
Where to trade
Most US markets are listed on CFTC-regulated exchanges. Kalshi and Polymarket carry the broadest catalogs; DraftKings and FanDuel are strong for sports. Compare them in our reviews, and check current sign-up offers on our bonuses page.
