What Is Polymarket? 

Polymarket is a platform for prediction markets. Instead of betting on the final score of a game, you’re trading whether something will happen, if a team will make the playoffs, if a bill will pass, or if a coin will close above a set price by Friday, answering the question “what is Polymarket?”

The price per market ranges from $0.01 to $0.99. That price is the market’s best guess of the probability. A price of $0.65 means about a 65 % chance of ” Yes “. If you buy Yes shares and you are right at resolution, each share will pay you $ 1.

A bookmaker offers fixed odds. On Polymarket betting, the price moves based on what people are actually buying and selling, in real time, the crowd sets the price, not the house. Prediction market betting isn’t just for sports, either. Any market that has a clear yes/no outcome and resolution date, politics, crypto prices, awards, economic data, anything like that.

  • Read each market’s resolution rules before you buy in.
