What moves sports odds
Before a game, injuries and lineups move prices most. Rule out a starter and the line can shift within minutes.
Once play starts, prices track the score. Many games keep trading until the final whistle.
Sportsbook lines matter too. Traders watch them, and big gaps between the two rarely last.
Can you trade sports contracts in your state?
Here is the catch. Sports contracts are where states push back hardest, with lawsuits, cease-and-desist letters and court orders.
The picture differs by venue and changes often. Check your state before you open an account.

Common questions
What are sports prediction markets?
Exchanges where you trade Yes or No contracts on games and seasons. Each pays $1 if right, so the price is the chance of that result.
Are sports prediction markets legal?
They run on CFTC-regulated exchanges, but several states contest sports contracts. Check your state for where each venue stands.
How are Kalshi sports odds different from sportsbook betting odds?
A sportsbook sets its odds and builds in a margin. On Kalshi, traders set the price, so it reads as a probability, and you can sell early.
Does Polymarket have sports markets in the US?
Yes, through Polymarket US, its CFTC-regulated app. Its international app lists more, but it is not open to US residents.
Can I sell a sports contract before the game ends?
Yes. You can sell at the current price at any time before settlement, locking in a gain or cutting a loss.
When do sports contracts settle?
After the official result. Each contract's rules name the source and the deadline.
