YES and NO side bets explained
Your custom prediction can have an audience: side bets let other people back YES or NO under the same resolution rules as the main head-to-head bet. They use a shared pool, so their payout works differently from the equal-stake match.
A pool separate from the main match
The main bet has one creator and one opponent with equal stakes. The side market collects additional YES and NO positions. Its pool is settled separately from the two-person pot, using the same final outcome.
Side positions must be placed while the market is open and before the acceptance deadline. Read the same conditions and evidence requirements that apply to the main prediction.
How a winning side shares the pool
When both sides have stakes, the winning side shares the combined side pool in proportion to its winning stakes. Suppose YES has $30 and NO has $70. A $10 YES position represents one third of the winning YES stakes, so if YES wins its gross share is about $33.33 before fees and cent rounding.
The final return depends on the pool at close. Additional stakes can change your share and estimated payout, so an estimate shown before placing a position is not a fixed return.
Pool share is not a probability
The chart shows how the side pool is divided between YES and NO. A 70% YES share means 70% of the staked side-pool money backs YES. It is not a verified 70% chance of that outcome happening.
Fees and refunds
The stored profit fee applies to a participant’s positive net profit across that side market. Multiple positions belonging to the same participant are aggregated; losses on the other side offset side-market profit before the fee is calculated.
A void result refunds side stakes. A one-sided pool is also refunded because there is no opposing side to fund a winning return. The main head-to-head pot has its own settlement and fee calculation.
