Sports Prediction Markets
Sports prediction markets price outcomes the way the crowd sees them — who lifts the trophy, who makes the playoffs, who takes the award. Unlike a fixed sportsbook line, the price is set by traders on both sides, and you can back either one. Live odds, real money, settled by the result.
What are Sports prediction markets?
Sports prediction markets price outcomes the way the crowd sees them — who lifts the trophy, who makes the playoffs, who wins an award or an individual game. Unlike a fixed sportsbook line, the price is set by traders on both sides, so you can back either outcome and sell out of a position before it resolves.
Because they’re federally regulated event contracts rather than state-licensed bets, sports markets are available in several states where traditional sportsbooks are not — though sports is the most contested category and is restricted in some states. A team trading at 35¢ implies about a 35% chance to win; if it does, each contract pays $1.

Sports markets FAQ
Is this the same as sports betting?
Legally it’s event-contract trading on a regulated exchange, not a sportsbook bet — though the experience is similar. Read our prediction markets vs sports betting explainer.
Can I trade sports where betting is illegal?
Often yes, because these are federally regulated contracts — but sports is restricted in some states, so always check your state first.
