How Prediction Market NBA Odds Work
Prices on prediction markets are expressed as probabilities (0–100¢). A position trading at 65¢ implies a 65% probability of that outcome occurring. If correct, you receive $1 per share; if wrong, you receive $0. This transparent probability format gives more information than traditional decimal odds.
Advantages Over Sports Betting for NBA
Prediction markets for the NBA have tighter effective margins than sportsbooks on major markets, no maximum stake restrictions, and allow you to exit (sell your position) before the event concludes — capturing profits if sentiment shifts in your favour.
