Market context

The real-world event is the team that wins Super Bowl LXI in February 2027, with the market resolving to “No” if any listed franchise is eliminated before the championship or to “Other” if the game is cancelled or postponed beyond March 31. Current crowd-implied probability sits at 1% for a specific outcome, a figure that mirrors historical precedents where long-shot teams like the 2007 Giants or 2015 Chiefs won the title despite single-digit odds early in the season, suggesting that early-season probabilities often misprice the volatility of the NFL playoff path[3][5]. Traders should watch the 2026 NFL draft outcomes, the September 2026 schedule release, and injury reports from the preseason, as these catalysts directly reshape championship odds; recent DraftKings data confirms the Seahawks and Rams as favourites at +950, while the Cardinals and Dolphins remain extreme outliers at 250-1, highlighting the wide dispersion in market sentiment[3][7].

Regulatory accessibility hinges on German GlüStV provisions and US CFTC reach, where the “no-KYC up to $1,500” threshold allows retail participants to access this market without identity verification, provided they remain under the limit and comply with local tax reporting obligations. This specific market’s structure avoids the need for complex KYC procedures for smaller bets, making it uniquely accessible for casual traders while still subject to anti-money laundering rules for larger transactions. The market’s settlement window ending 14 February 2027 ensures a clear resolution date, aligning with standard NFL championship timelines and avoiding the ambiguity that plagued earlier futures markets where delayed games created uncertainty[2][6].

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.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

PolyGram is available in most jurisdictions where Polymarket isn't directly accessible. Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check local regulations.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

What does it cost to trade on PolyGram?

Zero. PolyGram routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.

How fast are USDC deposits?

Polygon credits deposits after 12 confirmations — usually under 30 seconds. Withdrawals follow the same path and land back in your wallet within minutes.

How reliable are the quoted odds?

The YES/NO percentages are the live mid-prices of the Polymarket order book. On deep markets they move every few seconds; on thinner ones you'll see short plateaus.
