NBA markets - FAQ
How accurate are NBA prediction markets?
Across large samples, market prices are among the best-calibrated public forecasts available - a team priced at 70% wins about 70% of the time. They incorporate injury news and lineup changes within minutes.
What is the difference between futures and game markets?
Futures (champion, MVP, conference winners) run for months and reprice on every major development; game markets resolve the same night. Futures tie up capital longer - factor that into position sizing.
Can I sell before the season ends?
Yes. Polymarket positions can be closed at the current price any time there is liquidity - locking profits on a futures position after a hot streak is a core strategy.
