MARKETS 101

Welcome to Fanatics Markets — where your instinct, your insight, and your ability to read the moment all come together.

This isn’t betting. It’s predicting with purpose. Using real-time market signals, your own read on the world, and the confidence to make a call.

When you trade on Fanatics Markets, you’re stepping into the same rhythm as seasoned traders and elite athletes:
See the play. Trust your read. Make your move.

Let’s break down exactly how it works.

What is Fanatics Markets?

Fanatics Markets is a real-time predictive marketplace where you can buy and sell positions on future outcomes of sports, culture, elections, and moments that matter.

Think of it as a place where:

Knowledge is your competitive edge
Your read becomes a position
Your insight can generate returns

Every market reflects the collective intelligence of thousands of users; shifting with breaking news, momentum, and real-time sentiment. Markets don’t guess.
Markets react. Markets adjust. Markets reveal.

And here, you get to play right in that flow.

Quick Overview

Here’s the fast version:

You buy positions on future outcomes — like “Will this team win the championship?” or “Will this artist headline a major festival?”
You can sell at any time, before the final outcome, if you want to lock in returns or cut your losses.
If your position is correct when the market resolves, you earn $1 for every correct contract.
Prices move in real time — like a market, not a sportsbook.
You’re not playing against a house. You’re trading in a live marketplace with other people reading the moment just like you.

This is a place built for smart calls and sharper instincts.

Understanding Prices (and Why They Matter)

In Fanatics Markets, price = probability — the market’s current take on the likelihood of an outcome.

If a contract is trading at $0.22, the market is saying,
“There’s a 22% chance this happens.”

These prices aren’t set by us.
They’re set by everyone trading the market, moving with:

News
Data
Momentum
Market sentiment
Public reaction

Just like in sports or trading, the market shows you where things stand — and you decide whether the moment is mispriced.

How You Generate Returns

You generate returns by backing the outcome you believe is undervalued.

Example:
If YES is trading at $0.22, and you believe the true chance is higher:

You buy at $0.22
If the outcome hits, your contract is worth $1.00
That’s a $0.78 return per contract

If sentiment swings your way before the event ends, you can sell early for a profit. If news breaks the other way, you can exit to minimize losses.

You’re never locked in.
You manage your position like a trader, in control the whole way.

Why Markets Matter (and Why They’re Accurate)

Prediction markets consistently outperform pundits, polls, and panel shows.
Why? Because markets:

React faster
Price in more perspectives
Reward accuracy
Punish bad reads
Update instantly with new information

Markets cut through noise and deliver one thing:
The real-time truth of what people collectively believe will happen.

That’s why experts, analysts, and fans use Fanatics Markets — not for blind guesses, but for sharp insight.
