Lyon: Pedro Martinez vs Felix Balshaw

Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Pedro Martinez and Felix Balshaw are scheduled to compete in a tennis match at Lyon on 11 June 2026, with settlement contingent on match completion by 18 June 2026. The 0% implied probability reflects either minimal trading activity or strong market consensus that one player will not participate. Lyon hosts the ATP 250 event annually; both players' entry status and recent form will determine whether the fixture proceeds as scheduled.

Historical precedent from ATP tour cancellations and walkovers shows that matches involving lower-ranked or injury-prone competitors carry elevated non-completion risk. The settlement mechanism here specifies that delays exceeding seven days without a determined winner trigger a 50-50 resolution, whilst retirements mid-match award advancement to the opponent. Traders should monitor official ATP communications, player injury reports, and withdrawal announcements through the ATP website and tournament draw updates. Recent ATP scheduling changes have occasionally compressed recovery windows between events, increasing fatigue-related withdrawals in June tournaments.

From a regulatory standpoint, this market's accessibility depends on trader jurisdiction. Under German GlüStV rules, prediction markets on sports outcomes face stricter licensing requirements than financial derivatives, though cross-border access remains common. US CFTC oversight applies to binary sports contracts offered to US persons; however, many platforms operate under no-KYC thresholds up to $1,500 per transaction, meaning traders can participate without identity verification below that exposure level. UK-domiciled traders face Gambling Commission classification risks if platforms lack proper licensing, though prediction markets occupy a grey zone distinct from traditional betting.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

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.
