Sports.
Knicks, Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets — priced.
Sports is the easiest on-ramp to prediction culture for most New Yorkers. The teams are local, the games are weekly, and the markets are everywhere — from event contracts to player props to fantasy-style picks. The Garden, Citi, the Stadium, MetLife: the city's calendar runs on these games, and the price runs with it.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between prediction markets and sports betting?
Prediction markets price the probability of an outcome and let users trade it. Sportsbooks set odds and take the other side — the difference between trading a Knicks line and buying it from the house.
Best platform for NY sports?
For New Yorkers playing from NY: ProphetX (sports-first, trade $50, get $75), Kalshi (CFTC-regulated event-style sports contracts) and Polymarket's app. Novig's peer-to-peer sports app also works in New York. Sleeper and Chalkboard aren't legal to play from inside NY under state DFS rules — they're travel-only options once you're outside the state.
Can I trade Knicks games from New York?
Yes — Kalshi lists NBA event contracts for New York users, and Polymarket's app is accessible for New Yorkers. Both let you trade in and out of a game contract while the game is still running.
Are Yankees and Mets futures liquid on prediction markets?
World Series and pennant contracts on Kalshi and Polymarket carry meaningful liquidity around the postseason. Regular-season win-totals are thinner but tradeable.
Do prediction markets offer player props?
Some, and it's growing. Kalshi has expanded into MVP-style and season-award contracts. For deeper prop menus (touchdown scorers, rebound totals), traditional NY sportsbooks still dominate.
How do sports event contracts settle?
Contracts resolve based on the official league result (final score, award announcement). Kalshi publishes rulebooks per market so settlement criteria are transparent before you trade.
