Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

PARIVISION and Team Yandex are scheduled to contest a best-of-one Dota 2 match within the BLAST Slam Group Stage on 26 May at 12:10 PM ET. The fixture represents a single-elimination encounter where victory determines advancement or elimination from the tournament's group phase. Current crowd-implied probability sits at 0% for PARIVISION, suggesting near-certainty of a Team Yandex victory amongst market participants.

The 0% reading warrants contextual scrutiny against comparable Dota 2 group-stage matchups where pre-match favouritism has occasionally inverted. Single-game formats introduce higher variance than best-of-three or best-of-five series; upsets occur at measurable frequency even when skill differentials appear pronounced. Historical precedent from prior BLAST events shows that underdog teams capitalising on draft advantages or opponent preparation lapses have secured victories despite entering as substantial underdogs. The complete absence of probability mass assigned to PARIVISION suggests either decisive roster or form disparity, or potential liquidity constraints limiting market depth.

Traders should monitor roster confirmations and any last-minute lineup adjustments through to match commencement, as substitutions or player unavailability could materially alter expected outcomes. Tournament scheduling dependencies—including whether preceding matches conclude on schedule—affect preparation time and fatigue factors. The settlement window extends to 22:40 UTC on 26 May, providing a seven-day buffer for completion; matches delayed beyond this threshold without resolution trigger 50-50 settlement. Verification of official BLAST communications regarding match status remains essential, as cancellations or forfeits carry distinct settlement implications separate from competitive outcomes.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Best Prediction Markets, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.

FAQ

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

What does it cost to trade on Best Prediction Markets?

Zero. Best Prediction Markets routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.

How fast are USDC deposits?

Polygon credits deposits after 12 confirmations — usually under 30 seconds. Withdrawals follow the same path and land back in your wallet within minutes.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
