Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

PARIVISION and Team Yandex are scheduled to face off in a best-of-one Dota 2 match on 26 May at 12:10 PM ET as part of the BLAST Slam Group Stage. The 0% implied probability currently reflected across prediction markets suggests either extreme confidence in one outcome or insufficient liquidity and trader participation at present. Settlement occurs at 22:40 UTC on the same day, allowing a ten-hour window for the match to conclude.

Group stage matches in BLAST Slam events have historically featured unpredictable outcomes when lesser-known regional squads compete, particularly in single-elimination formats where preparation asymmetries become pronounced. PARIVISION's recent tournament appearances and Team Yandex's roster stability should inform baseline expectations, though direct head-to-head records between these teams remain sparse in public databases. The 0% reading likely reflects either missing market depth rather than genuine consensus, as sportsbooks typically offer fractional odds on such matchups rather than binary extremes.

Traders should monitor official BLAST Slam scheduling updates for any postponements or roster changes announced before the 12:10 PM ET start time. Team announcements regarding stand-in players or coaching adjustments in the 48 hours preceding the match could shift expected performance levels materially. The settlement window's seven-day buffer for delayed matches provides protection against minor scheduling slippage, though forfeiture rules mean incomplete matches may resolve to 50-50 if either team fails to complete the series.

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

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
