Polymarket US: prediction market for sports, politics, and global events

Polymarket US presents itself as the first federally regulated prediction market in the United States. The platform allows trading on the outcomes of sports matches, elections, and world events, and its homepage displays the most active markets organized by categories such as sports, politics, crypto, weather, tech, culture, and economy.

How trading works on Polymarket US

Each market shows the price of the different options expressed in cents and an associated implied probability. For example, in a baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles, the probabilities shown by the platform were 46% for the Blue Jays and 55% for the Orioles, with prices of 46¢ and 54.5¢ respectively. The interface also indicates the number of markets available for each event and the change in probabilities over the last 24 hours.

The platform offers the ability to build combinations of bets, known as "Combo," and to download a mobile app to trade from your phone.
