What Are 1Win Prediction Markets And How They Work

A prediction market is a bet on the final outcome of a news event, not on a sports match. Most questions have a yes/no answer, for example who wins an election or whether a coin reaches a price by a set date.

  • the contract names an event, an outcome and a closing time;
  • odds reflect the probability the market assigns to the outcome;
  • odds change when new facts appear in the media;
  • the bet settles after the result is confirmed.

Sports bets depend on how teams and athletes perform. Prediction markets depend on politics, economics, technology and culture.

Bet Types & Odds Mechanics In Prediction Markets

Odds are based on the probability of the event. High odds mean the market sees the outcome as unlikely, and low odds mean a probable outcome. The odds change when new facts appear. Three contract types are used.

Binary outcomeA yes or no bet on whether a situation happensWill a candidate win the election?
Multiple choiceOne winner is picked from a list of optionsWhich candidate wins?

1Win Prediction Markets FAQ

Short answers on how 1win Markets differ from sports bets, currencies, settlement and Cash Out.

How do 1win prediction markets differ from traditional sports betting?

Sports bets depend on matches and athletes. Prediction markets settle on real-world news, such as elections or financial changes.

Can fiat currencies like USD or EUR be used on Polymarket-style events?

Yes. Markets use the main balance, so deposits in USD and other fiat currencies work, for example by bank card. A crypto wallet is not required.

How are winning outcomes confirmed for political and news events?

Results are confirmed by government announcements and checked against independent news agencies. Bets settle after the result is confirmed.

Are live bets available on ongoing events?

Bets are accepted while the market is open, and the odds update as new facts appear in the media.

Can a prediction bet be cashed out before the event ends?

Cash Out is available where the market supports it. It closes the bet early at the amount shown on the slip, before the final result.
